I see 2 good matchups for the Cubs when they face Willis and Harang. The same could be said for us though when we have to face the meat of the Padres rotation. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Aren't the Cubs still going with a 4-man rotation (Zambrano, Hill, Lilly, Marquis)? If so, no Trachsel on Thursday, and instead Lilly and Marquis will close out the season pitching on 3 days rest.
