Who's planning on seeing it this weekend?
Originally I was going to wait, personally I think Billy Beane is a bit of a fraud, since other baseball people like Gene Michael in the 70's were employing Beane's theories 15 years before he did, and is a tad overrated in my opinion.
Michael kept silent on his money ball theories, such as on base percentage and WH/IP because he didn't want other GM's to know what he was doing.
Beane gets a lot of the credit because he brought 'small ball' to light, but far from the originator that people make him out to be.
Having said all that, critics from all over, some who don't know a double from a double switch are raving about the film, I'm hearing/reading from virtually everybody that Brad Pitt and Robin Wright are tremendous in this.
So, it looks like Sox/Yanks will be a rain out tonight, don't really care for the BYU/Cent. Fla game too much, I think I just might plunk down a sawbuck and watch it first run.
