Pittsburgh: Marquis will go Friday, Rich Hill is on for Saturday, and Big Z comes in to work on Sunday.
Florida: Ted Lilly will pitch Tuesday after the Cubs have Monday off, followed by Marquis and Piniella is undecided for Thursday.
Cincinnati: Hill will come in first, then Zambrano, followed by Lilly.
Don’t worry about the pitching in these final games because it’s solid. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of depth on the Cubs roaster, but Piniella has it all figured out.
"I know there have been people concerned about us going with a three-man rotation, but if they looked at the entire schedule and a possible playoff, they'd see why we did it,” he said.
These guys have been working hard all season and I don’t see why they won’t continue to pull through for the Cubs. All we can really do is pray that the Cubs do well through these last series and hope that the Brewers have the same luck that they did with Atlanta. In case you didn’t see, Milwaukee lost 3-1 to the Braves earlier this week propelling the Cubs to a 1 ½ game lead in the NL Central.
So Cubs fans, hold on to your hats, stay glued to the television, and trust that these pitchers will do their jobs.

You can never say do not worry about cubs pitching, especially when Rich Hill and Jason Marquis are involved. Zambrano as been a rollercoaster ride this season also, so I would never say are pitching is solid. Yes they should win against some of the worst teams in the majors. The scary thing is the season is over for all of these teams, regarding playoffs. When a team is eliminated from the playoffs they will usiallu play their younger players and younger players are dangerous. They are so excited that they are getting a chance to play and adreneline is flowing through them, so I am a little worried. Luckily Aramis and Soriano decided to turn it on these last couple days. Hopefully the power surge will continue. Cubs = 2007 World Series Champ!!!
