It's 3 1/2 hours before the game, but here are the lineups

Hey, this is unusual. The lineups have been dropped off to the pressbox before our daily trip to the clubhouse for pregame enlightenment from Tony La Russa and any player who feels like yapping it up. By the way, Ryan Ludwick is NOT leading off for the Cardinals.

So in rapid-fire time, here are the lineups:

The Cardinals vs. Johnny Cueto:
Skip Schumaker RF
Adam Kennedy 2B
Albert Pujols 1B
Rick Ankiel CF
Troy Glaus 3B
Chris Duncan LF
Yadier Molina C
Joel Pineiro P
Cesar Izturis SS

And now, the Queen City ballplayers, a.k.a the Cincinnati Reds:
Corey Patterson CF
Jeff Keppinger SS
Ken Griffey Jr. RF
Brandon Phillips 2B
Adam Dunn LF
Edwin Encarnacion 3B
Joey Votto 1B
Paul Bako C
Johnny Cueto P

Check back around 5 or 5:15 for more. Sunny skies and cool temperatures prevail and lovely Busch Stadium. A warning to Chris Duncan and Rick Ankiel: Twilight will arrive around 8 o'clock.
