    Assuming the Cubs can show some life and pull out Game 3, have the Dodgers already announced that Lowe will start Game 4? As a Cubs fan I would almost rather face Lowe on short rest than a wily, crafty, rested Greg Maddux.

    Torre said before the series that he planned on pitching Lowe in game 4. But, i am sure everything is subject to change...

    Always, but Torre pulled Lowe after six innings in game 1 to further ensure he'd be ready to go in game 4 if needed.

    And if he can't go, there's both Maddux and Kershaw. Maddux for his experience and smarts, Kershaw for his stuff - but he's only 20.

    This series is not over.

    If it were me, I would go Maddux for three then Kershaw for three and pen it the rest of the way... But I am a "maverick" like that . Anything to save Lowe for game one against the Phillies, I mean the other NLDS champ...

    That's a really good and interesting thought, and one that hadn't occured to me. On the other hand, it's looking like the Phillies might sweep. If Lowe has to go game 5 (and wins), the Phillies will be rested and will start with the rotation they want. The Dodgers will likely have to go with Billingsley and Kuroda to start that series, the bullpen will be taxed, and Lowe will pitch twice at the most.

    I think he's going with Lowe.
