Big night on tap at PNC Park. A sellout crowd is expected and not because of the hotly anticipated duel between Brian Lawrence and Tony Armas. No, Styx is the main attraction. Yep, the creators of Mr. Roboto himself are here to put on a postgame concert and the citizens of Pittsburgh are fired up about it. Can't say I share in that excitement. Was Cheap Trick not available? How about .38 Special?
On the baseball front, no Carlos Delgado tonight. He's still bothered by the hyperextended left knee he suffered in Wednesday's wild 10-8 victory. Ramon Castro (arthritis) hopes to play tomorrow in DC. Also, Lastings Milledge was a late scratch due to what the team described as "flu-like" symptoms.Marlon Anderson takes over in right.
Here's the lineup. Notice Shawn Green is subbing at first base.
Reyes ................ SS

Beltran ............... CF
Alou ................... LF
