Jake Westbrook tossed a 49-pitch, two-inning simulated game on the diamond of Busch Stadium on Tuesday.

Westbrook proclaimed himself ready to go if his club can get by the Giants in the National League Championship Series and go on to the World Series.

"I'm ready to go, without a doubt," he said. "I feel strong in saying that, especially the way today went."

Westbrook strained an oblique in his right side during a Sept. 8 home start against the Brewers.
