Relampago Blanco is not a smart man. He can't help you with your math, science, or english. Hell, I still don't really know the rules of proper grammar but what I do know is baseball and movies. And when a movie comes out featuring my favorite thing on earth I naturally show some level of excitement. Except this time. Watching the four hour ad for Money Ball tonight on Fox leads me to only one conclusion, this movie is going to be a piece of shit. Look, I love Brad Pitt, guy is money in the bank everytime he's in a movie as far as this kids concerned, Jonah Hill is okay...I guess. I even like Chris Pratt, but this movie just looks like pure shit. From head to toe this looks like a CBS mini-series. The book was awesome but there was no way this could work as a movie and this shit is going to prove it. Plus Billy Beane's shit doesn't work,just because a guy has a solid OBP doesn't mean he's ganna be great if he can't hit for average, or hit for some power; The A's have actually zero power which proves my point. Just to many B type players on the A's, while everyone else has taken this formula and gotten some A type players with it to make winners - See Tampa Bay Rays. I could go off on a tagent about this but my point is Oakland has made only one appearance in the ALCS under Beane in 2006 (lost) and haven't been a winner in years. Everyone from the draft in the book is gone and Nick Swisher is the only one that has had anything resembling a career. I mean Papelbon was drafted in the 43rd round that year but A's didn't sign em, so can't win em all. Just ganna suck,still ganna see it though.
