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 Custom Chris Bosh Jersey .

Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. Gold Coasts AFL season of woe has continued at Etihad Stadium when Sean Lemmens was knocked out in the Suns 71-point loss to Collingwood.The visitors were comprehensively outclassed in a match between sides guaranteed of missing the finals, surrendering 16.22 (118) to 6.11 (47) on Saturday night.A crowd of just 17,644 turned out, making it the lowest attendance at a Collingwood home game in more than 25 years.Gold Coast youngster Lemmens was taken from the field on a stretcher following a second-quarter collision with Jesse White.Collingwood were also a man down during the second half after forward Darcy Moore appeared to tweak his troublesome hamstring.White finished with 3.4 for the Magpies, who dominated from the outset thanks to classy midfielders Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom and Adam Treloar.Treloar celebrated his 100th game with a match-high 38 possessions, six tackles, a goal and potentially three Brownlow votes.Jermey Howe, who clutched a career-best 18 marks including a trademark screamer, Brodie Grundy, Josh Smith and Jack Crisp were also influential for Collingwood.The ease at which the Magpies moved the ball - aided by a lack of pressure from the Suns - meant the shellacking often resembled a training drill.It was a throwback to the Suns first two seasons in the competition, when they could at least point to inexperience as a reason for regular routs.The result followed the expansion teams uppset loss to lowly Essendon at the same venue.ddddddddddddIts completely unacceptable. It doesnt matter if youre not in finals contention, you dont put the cue in the rack until the final siren of round 23, former Suns player Campbell Brown said on Triple M.It wasnt AFL standard ... their last fortnight has been diabolical.They look like a side that has one eye on their holidays.The hosts booted seven goals in the opening quarter, much to the chagrin of injured Suns captain Gary Ablett, who watched from the stands.In sharp contrast, the Suns managed 0.2 in the first term - their most impotent start to a game since the final round of the 2015 season.The Suns halftime score was 1.6 (12) - only once before in the clubs history have they posted a lower total at halftime.Collingwood will seek to ruin Hawthorns top-four hopes in the final round of the season, while the Suns end their campaign against Port Adelaide at home.We have to push on and get up for next week, Suns coach Rodney Eade said, pointing to his clubs fatigued youngsters and injury problems.Theyve given as much as they can for the last eight or nine weeks.Magpies coach Nathan Buckley was impressed with many aspects of the performance.We controlled our ball use .... weve been far more consistent [since the bye], Buckley said.
