Pre-game chat: Game 2, World Series
So anxious or the game tomorrow I have to chat about it.
Rogers vs Weaver.
Lineups? Here's what I got
Eckstein-SS
Spiezio-DH (NOT PRESTON!)
Pujols-1B
Rolen-3B
Edmonds-CF (swap with Rolen for lefty)
Encarnacion-RF
Belliard-2B
Molina-C
Taguchi-LF (No doubt)
Predictions? I say Weaver is so pumped after Jones comments/pitching in his old home that he we win 3-1. Rogers will do great but lets up a couple big hits.
By the way...How do the Tiger fans feel about Weaver? He was always their best pitcher when they had him there, so I would have to believe they have at least a little bit of respect for him. Will be fun seeing their reaction tomorrow.

yes, winning game 2 is big. Winning any World Series game is big.
But, I really, really, really, really want to beat Rogers. I can't stand the guy. Add on top of that all the talk we're hearing about how great he's been in the playoffs and is Detroit's stopper and all that and I'm really wanting him to get beat down.
I like that lineup, though I'm still not crazy about Spiezio as a right handed batter.

Couldn't agree with you more. Spiezio batting right handed isn't great...But I highly doubt Preston plays tomorrow...Or maybe he does, doesn't he hit lefties good?...He's also like 1 for 16 this post-seasonclevername wrote:yes, winning game 2 is big. Winning any World Series game is big.

I've said for weeks Rogers is the kind of pitcher that can dominate us. He dominated the Yankees and Tigers as well, but when we faced him in the regular season he went 5.1 innings and 5 ER...Who knows, as great as he has been pitching we might hit him well.

My reaction about the prospects of Speezer in the lineup were the same as whyhellothere's. Then, I read your post, clever. Hmmm.whyhellothere wrote:Spiezio's numbers against Rogers (35 ab's)clevername wrote: I like that lineup, though I'm still not crazy about Spiezio as a right handed batter.
