CHICAGO -- Jon Lester is all set for Game 1 of the NL Championship Series on Saturday night. The rest of the Chicago Cubs rotation depends on the health of Kyle Hendricks.Hendricks left Game 2 of the Division Series against San Francisco when a comebacker went off his right forearm in the fourth inning. He had a bullpen session Thursday, and the Cubs are waiting to see how he feels before confirming the major league ERA leader for Game 2 on Sunday night.Just find out where Kyle is. Just making sure that hes healthy, manager Joe Maddon said. He threw today. You always wait a little bit to find out if theres any after-effect of that and then you make your determination. But thats about it, just health.Hendricks is coming off a breakout season, going 16-8 with a 2.13 ERA this year that included a 9-2 record and 1.32 ERA in 15 home games.Assuming Hendricks comes through the bullpen session just fine, he likely would be followed by Jake Arrieta in Game 3 and then John Lackey. The four playoff starters combined for 64 of Chicagos major league-leading 103 wins this season, and it sounds as if the Cubs feel they will be OK no matter how it shakes out.I have a lot of faith in our guys. Theyve been doing it all year, Maddon said on a brisk day at Wrigley Field. Theyre absolutely rested going into this moment, so I feel very strongly about our starting pitching.The only major question for Chicago is its NLCS roster. The Cubs were waiting for their opponent before the Dodgers 4-3 victory over the Nationals in Game 5 of their NL Division Series on Thursday night, so they were planning to have more detailed roster discussions on Friday.We debated 11 pitchers versus 12 a lot before that last series, and Im sure thatll be the same debate, general manager Jed Hoyer said before Los Angeles win. Which way we end up going Im not sure. There was parts of the last series that pushed for both, really. There were moments that you were glad you had the extra position player. There were moments you wanted the extra pitcher.Chicago was nearly pushed to a decisive Game 5 by San Francisco, but the Cubs rallied for four runs in the ninth inning of their series-clinching 6-5 victory on Tuesday night. Asked how much he had watched that ninth inning, a chuckling Hoyer responded a lot.It was great. I thought the purpose of our guys at-bats was really wonderful, Hoyer said. They all had a plan.Before that rally, the Cubs had been mostly shut down by Giants pitching. They hit just .200 for the series, and their pitchers drove in six of their 17 runs. Anthony Rizzo, one of the top contenders for NL MVP, and starting shortstop Addison Russell each went 1 for 15 in the first round.We look at it as `Ws and losses. Thats how we all look at it, right fielder Jason Heyward said. We all understand its not going to happen every time at the plate. We understand sometimes youre going to face good pitching.The Cubs also made it to the NLCS last year and then managed just eight runs and 21 hits in a sweep by the New York Mets. But they are hoping momentum from the rally against the Giants, their experience from last year and home-field advantage will lead to a different result this time around.I do have a lot of faith in our guys, Maddon said. Id like to believe that just getting to this next moment might chill everybody out even a little bit more.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Cheap Air Max 2017 .J.

LOUIS -- St. Nike Air Max 95 Clearance . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.Leading names from the world of cricket have condemned the West Indies U19 teams decision to Mankad their way into the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The West Indies qualified for the knockout stage after defeating Zimbabwe by two runs on Tuesday in hugely controversial circumstances at Chittagong.Needing 227 to win. Zimbabwe began the 50th over on 224-9 but, as he ran in to deliver the first ball, West Indies seamer Keemo Paul flicked off the bails at the bowlers end in an attempt to run out (or mankad) the non-striker. Richard Ngarava was run out by a matter of inches Having confirmed that West Indies captain Shimron Hetmyer wanted to appeal, the umpires referred the decision to the third umpire and TV replays showed that Richard Ngaravas bat was just inches out of the crease.The West Indies celebrated jubilantly when the decision was given but the Zimbabweans were upset and the dismissal has ignited a debate about whether Pauls actions were within the spirit of cricket.Hetmyer said: Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties. Weve seen this in cricket before. Its probably not in the spirit of the game but were happy to have won.Joseph is the leader of the attack, and he stood up for us today. Im proud of him. Michael Holding gives his take on West Indies dramatic two-run win over Zimbabwe through a disputed run-out at the start of the final over. Zimbabwe skipper Brandon Mavuta was visibly upset after the match, although he said he had no comment on the final decision.And Zimbabwe manager Admire Marodza said: It is too early to comment but we are trying to get emotions under control in the dressing room. Everyone is disappointed at the loss.Rules are rules, we cant change them and we cant change what happenedd.dddddddddddd A run-out is a run-out. I dont think it is anything to protest about.Reaction on Twitter was generally critical of the West Indies, England one-day captain Eoin Morgan writing: Disgraceful behaviour in the U19CWC. WIs should be embarrassed!! Eoin Morgan was among the players who criticised the Mankad on Twitter And England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler said: Cant believe what Ive just seen! Embarrassing!Former Zimbabwe star Brendan Taylor added: Disgraceful! Just remember this great game has a funny way in biting you in the back side.However, other players pointed out that West Indies had acted entirely within the rules.Surrey and England man Stuart Meaker asked: Why bring in a law that allows it and then say its not in the spirit? Isnt it poor sportsmanship that hes stealing a run? Nasser Hussain gives his thoughts on West Indies dramatic two-run win over Zimbabwe through a disputed run-out at the start of the final over. Former England head coach Peter Moores told Sky Sports News HQ: I dont think you can blame the bowler or the batter.You can blame the batter because he left the crease but the bowler has played to the rules. I am not sure on the rule regarding whether you have to warn the batsman but for me that is a big part of it.If somebody is creeping too far and it is getting very tight, the bowler is within his rights to say: Listen, if you keep going like that, I am going to Mankad. If you just do it, yes, it is within the law I think, but it seems a bit tough.
