Dodgers Announce NLDS Starters

Update (3:09 PM PT): Game 1 has just been announced to start at 6:37 PM PT on Wednesday, with Game 2 slated for 3:07 PM PT on Thursday.

**********
Vin Scully just announced that the Dodgers have announced that Randy Wolf will pitch Wednesday's opener against St. Louis at Dodger Stadium, and Clayton Kershaw will start Game 2 on Thursday. We haven't heard anything from St. Louis regarding their starters, but we can assume it will be Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright the first two games.

As for today's game, Brad Ausmus is the acting manager in a trend started by Joe Torre to allow one of his players to manage the final game of the regular season. Mike Borzello is the acting pitching coach today, with Mark Loretta as the acting bench coach, Jim Thome and Juan Castro the duo-hitting coaches and Jeff Weaver today's bullpen coach.

Also for got to mention this yesterday. J.P. Ricciardi and Kevin Towers were both relieved of all of their duties, including GM, by Toronto and San Diego, respectively.
