    Looks good. Sometimes movie makers have to make movies and take liberties to make them entertaining.

    I think the retrospective consensus is that the early 00's A's were great because of 3 things: Hudson, Mulder & Zito. It's amusing that this fact is shrouded behind the Moneyball curtain.

    I certainly think those three were a huge part of their success but you can't deny that Beane and the A's changed the way front offices think and operate.

    Yeah. Like my bro-in-law in CO after they traded Ubaldo was really defending it. Saying "we got all their best pitching prospects." I have a feeling he's right.

    No doubt. I think I will be proven wrong in my campaigning for the Yanks to trade for him.

    No, just despise them. It's more fun.

    I'm not a GM and really have no idea how to construct a baseball team, but I can't understand why Seattle traded Doug Fister with 4 years to go until his free agency. Isn't that precisely the type of player a team needs to keep? A solid major league starting pitcher who works for cheap and is under control? The Mariners are going to be bad for a long time, I have to believe.

    Yeah, one would think. I don't even know what they got in return but one would think it makes sense to keep him. I will say, the Mariners have a lot more money that people think.

    Now if we could get them to just trade Felix.

    That guy makes very mysterious moves. Zito, Rowand, Huff...

    He'll probably sign Beltran to a 7 year contract extension.

    zito was an appeasement move - "look, we're doing something"......(dumb)

    rowand was one of the better CF's at the time. I think he, andruw jones and and someone else good at the time all came up at the same time.

    huff was a "thanks for last year" signing...and I really didn't have a problem with it.

    I loved watching Rowand play, and he was definitely a fan favorite, but I was very happy (at the time) the Phillies didn't give him a big contract like that. There was no way that was going to end well.

    Kershaw dropped his ERA to 2.30 and got the W despite the bullshit ejection last night.

    Doc dropped his ERA to 2.34, pitched his first shutout, and clinched a playoff berth for the Phils with a 1-0 win (even got a hit while he was at it).

    Clifton goes tonight. The CY race is awesome!

    Thanks! That would be awesome... but not really, because the Phillies scare me. I like the Tigers chances against any AL team right now though. And my mom got me ALDS tickets for my birthday!
