Maybe a little home manager bias in the choice of starter?

Just a bit. Though it's not as if Weaver's a total scrub.

So how is this thing going to work? Is it going to be like a regular game, or is it going to go down like an All-Star game with almost everyone seeing an inning or AB?

I'm going to try to get everybody into the game.

Also, does anyone know if Shawn is going to use his techno wizardry to whip up a link where we could watch the game ala last years WS?
