(Webb's ERA is dropping and while not winning it's more the D'backs then him, Lee, his first year in the Majors and in the AL he's showing he can win this year, the ERA will drop next year)

The injuries were nothing.. Absolutley nothing. They are on short pitch counts to be sure. With Rusch now in the bullpen, they don't need to throw 120 pitches. With Hawkins pitching a little better, it makes it even more so. They won't be bums, I promise you. Forget the fact I'm a Cubs fan, it's common sense. The fact you mentioned Pedro for Wood or Prior, that's laughable. You may hate them, but rational thought should take over in there somewhere.
EDIT: Oh, BTW... - Oliver Perez > Lee.
NLCS - Braves, St. Loius, DOdgers. Wild card goes to the Cubbies.
A little biased, but based on pitching, and the Cubs lineup, they can hit anyone, and out pitch everyone, starter for starter (Maddux is questionable, but he's Maddux.. What else can you say?). I think that combo is pretty tough. However, St. Loius and the DOdgers are monsters. I just don't think they can handle healthy Cubs pitching, which you have yet to see this year.
