What's Kerry Wood's playoff role?

With the playoff's starting, the bullpen roles probably change with more days off... Marmol and Howry are probably the primary set-up men for the majority of games instead of every other game..

Could Lou used Wood as the long reliever?  Perhaps bring him in in the 4th or 5th inning, if a starter is really struggling and pitch him for 2 or 3 innings?  I know Wood hasn't pitched more than 2 innings yet.  But he's been good in his last 2 inning outings and perhaps we see Lou extend him for 3 innings in the next day or two??  

I have a feeling that Lou will have a much quicker hook in the playoffs, since the pen's been very strong of late.

No, not three innings
What, we want a Chad Fox moment ruining the playoffs??  Because he needs a lot of time to warm up, Wood's role will be to pitch the 5th/6th if there is a game where Lou has to pull the starter in the 3rd/4th inning.  It is quite possible that he will not see game action in the NLDS.
It's a simple question, Doctor: would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs??
