Key postseason questions for the Dodgers

I'm kicking around a bunch of different thoughts running through my head about the playoffs. In my view, here's some questions the Dodgers will be faced come gametime on Wednesday:

• Will Derek Lowe continue his great pitching over the second half of the season and be a true ace in Game 1?
• If Lowe falls, will Chad Billingsley step up to the pressure of Wrigley Field and a deficit and get the job done?
• Can Manny pick up where he left off in his Red Sox career and be a postseason hero?
• Will Andre Ethier continue his red-hot hitting when it most counts?
• Can Russell Martin limit the Cubs' running game?
• What roles to Rafael Furcal and Jeff Kent play? Can they accept not being starters?
• Will Blake DeWitt and Angel Berroa control the middle of the infield and give production at the bottom of the order?
• Will the loss of Hong-Chih Kuo be too much of a hole to fill?
• Can Jonathan Broxton handle being a closer in the postseason, even with little experience in his career?
• Is Takashi Saito ready to resume a big role in late innings?
• What happens if a 4th starter is needed? Can Greg Maddux be the Mad Dog, or a postseason flop late in his career?
• Can the Dodgers at least get one win on the road before returning home to LA?

I know, that's a lot of questions, but they are important. I still have not seen a finalized 25-man roster for the first round, so who knows if someone like Greg Maddux will even be in the mix. I'll let you know when I do.
