If you don't do it I will. I'm looking to start a franchise log soon.

Ok, but:

1. Do you know the backstory of Moneyball?

and

2. If not (or even if you do), would you like for me to help you write up the storyline?

@lanceberkman: I was thinking maybe they just got sick of losing so much so they fired him.


2264

I'm a Giants fan, but the story is that the A's, a down n' out team at the time were taken over by Beane, who used every bit of info that he could squander and every player that was in the teams price market to turn them into a winning team.


2267

Oh, I know the story. Where do you think I got the idea?

I was just making sure you knew.

Correct me if I'm wrong but basically: 13 DH's and 12 pitchers.

Billy Beane's roster.


2580 (EDIT: Whoops. :oops: )

What, back then?

All the scrubs he got were DH's?

--------------------------------

BTW, I have to say my favorite scenes from the previews I've seen are:

Hatteberg: I've only ever played catcher.
Beane: It's not that hard, Scott. Tell 'em Wash.
Ron Washington: It's incredibly hard.

Beane points at Brand (DePodesta), and asks a question.
Brand doesn't immediately answer the question.
Seconds later..
Brand: You want me to speak?
Beane: When I point at you, yeah.

:)
