Not quite right.  Williams said that he didn't have to pick a starter until 
2 days after Andujar backed out.  Apparently Andujar wanted an early commitment,
and it's quite possible that Williams didn't even know it (tho I doubt that).

About the game, I think it's interesting that the NL trounced (I think 6-1 is
a trounce) the AL without several key players. But more interesting that in
the year that the AL's bats are supposed to be superior, it was clearly the
NL's pitching that did the job.
