Lineups against the World Series champs ...

... or are they chumps now? We're about to find out.

Washington:
Lopez -- 4
Guzman -- 6
Zimmerman -- 5
Church -- 7
Kearns -- 9
Young -- 3 (began his career here a long time ago)
Schneider -- 2
Logan -- 8
Bowie -- 1 (so the bullpen better be rested)

St. Louis:
David Eckstein -- 6
Chris Duncan -- 7
Albert Pujols -- 3
Juan Encarnacion -- 9
Scott Rolen -- 5
Jim Edmonds -- 8
Yadier Molina -- 2
Adam Kennedy or Aaron Miles -- 4 (apparently Tony hasn't decided yet)
Anthony Reyes -- 1 (check out how many victories he has)

Anyone know who leads the Nationals in victories, by the way?

Thanks for all the recommendations on local flavor. I couldn't get a flight out on Sunday night so I'll be staying over into Memorial Day and will have one great meal. Just need to pick the place. Had lunch at my normal lunch place here, Kitchen K, which I really like. And I'll probably hit the Missouri Bar and Grill, a divey baseball writer's place, at some point. Not that you care.

I'll get you any pregame news as it becomes available. But enjoy the start to the Memorial Day weekend.
