Chicago Cubs NLDS Rotation
Game 1: Jason Hirsh
Game 2: Edwin Jackson
Game 3: Jon Garland
Game 4: Dorian Myers *Hirsh on short rest, if it's an elimination game
Game 5: Edwin Jackson

Just so I'm clear...

If it's elimination time:

game 4: Hirsh
game 5: Jackson

otherwise...

game 4: Myers
game 5: Hirsh

[DMBZeppelin]

No, Jackson was my best pitcher this year. I want him to start Game 5 regardless.

Elimination Time:
Game 4: Hirsh
Game 5: Jackson

Otherwise:
Game 4: Myers
Game 5: Jackson

Because Hirsh would be coming back on short rest for Game 4, but only if he's needed. With Game 5 both Jackson and Hirsh could go on normal, or more then normal rest. So in that case I'm choosing Jackson. Only reason Jackson didn't go Game 1 is because he'll be tired.

[Providence A's]

OK, just wanted to make sure.
