The sun out, the sky is a perfect shade of blue and there is a cutout of the famous arch carved into the outfield grass at Busch Stadium.

Welcome to St. Louis and the all-important Game 3 of the NLDS. It's really a must-win game for the Phillies.

Why?

Because they're coming off a deflating loss in Game 2 that evened the series at 1-1 and took away their home field advantage. Lose tonight and suddenly they're playing an elimination game in a hostile environment on enemy ground. (OK, that sounds a little too dramatic, but you get the point.)

Here are the lineups:

1. Jimmy Rollins, SS
2. Chase Utley, 2B
3. Hunter Pence, RF
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Shane Victorino, CF
6. John Mayberry Jr., LF
7. Placido Polanco, 3B
8. Carlos Ruiz, C
