Lineups

Here are the lineups for tonight's - yes, TONIGHT'S - game at McKechnie Field.

The Reds:
1. Norris Hopper, cf
2. Jeff Keppinger, ss
3. Jay Bruce, rf
4. Drew T. Anderson, lf
5. Joey Votto, 1b
6. Jolbert Cabrera, 3b
7. Andy Phillips, 2b
8. Javier Valentin, c
9. Alvin Colina, dh
Bronson Arroyo, p

Not exactly the big squad. But Jay Bruce is baseball's top prospect, and Arroyo helped pitch the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years in 2004.

The Pirates:
1. Nyjer Morgan, cf
2. Andrew McCutchen, lf
3. Xavier Nady, rf
4. Ryan Doumit, c
5. Jose Bautista, 3b
6. Doug Mienktiewicz, 1b
7. Chris Gomez, ss
8. Brian Bixler, dh
9. Josh Wilson, 2b
Paul Maholm, p

Well, barring some more history, one of the guys will become the first Pirate to get a hit under the lights at McKechnie Field. Get used to seeing McCutchen and Bruce appearing on opposing lineup cards. Bixler is pulling double duty after spelling Jack Wilson at shortstop during today's day game at Ed Smith Stadium.
