QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 02:35 AM) It could not be clearer that Walt poisoned the kid. This was my point about having to be punched in the face with something. You just caught a right hook, and you don't know it somehow. Remember when he played spin-the-bottle and the gun pointed at at him twice, then pointed at THE EXACT PLANT THAT HAPPENS TO SHARE THE NAME OF THE POISON THAT ALMOST KILLED THE KID? The one that Jesse said is commonly ingested by children, and then Walt had a s***-eating grin on his face about? God damn it. This. Walt is gone. He's Heisenberg now.

I... holy s***...

WNBA CHAMPIONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Seimone Augustus is unstoppable. That is all.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 2, 2011 -> 12:17 AM) That's what happens when you have three of the better pitchers of the first half of the decade on your team....which were all drafted by scouts (oops!) Well, they were all drafted by either Beane or Sandy Alderson, who was doing Beane's thing before Beane took over. That was another gripe with the movie, Alderson's name wasn't mentioned once.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 30, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) Friedman would make a good movie I think as the gist of the movie is to take on the big boys and beat them. The A's never did this. The gist was proving that you don't need a large payroll to win games. The A's did a damn good job of that. Whether or not they won the World Series is irrelevant, especially given the lasting impact it's had on the game.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 05:41 PM) Yes. Did you just sleep through the last scene with Hill/Pitt in the lockerroom or what?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) Did you see the movie? Did you?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) Damn, if the A's not winning is the "feel good movie of the year", just wait until they make a movie about the Cubs. How is winning 100+ games with one of the smallest payrolls in the league considered not winning?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 02:49 AM) Wasn't that about trading for Ricardo Rincon? Well, it was before the season started and he asked about Rincon, but got shot down instantly so he moved on to an OF.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 12:27 AM) As a die hard baseball fan was it more the baseball content that turned you off or the actual movie itself? I'd say it was a lot of the baseball stuff that bugged me and stopped me from really getting into. I understand some of the changes they made from the book to make it transfer to the screen better, but still. One of the first scenes in the movie is Beane flying to Cleveland to have trade talks with the Indians. If you're trying to sell me the idea that the A's had no money to spend, then don't have the main character wasting money on flights to start a trade conversation. That would NEVER happen. A GM doesn't fly across the country to ask another GM "Hey, how about this OF?" I realize this sort of gripe is pretty petty, but it's one of those things that stops you from buying the environment they're selling, which really impacts the experience.

QUOTE (juddling @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 10:32 AM) Just watched The Fighter (Marky Mark and Christian Bale) on Netflix. I was not very impressed. It really wasn't that good. I watched it some day after hearing it was a solid flick, but I thought it was very forgettable. On that note, just saw Moneyball. It was alright, but there were a lot of little issues that kept me from being truly immersed in the film. It's a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes right now, which is grossly overrating how good the movie actually is. It's very slow paced, and while the dialogue is solid (afterall, it's Sorkin), there's no point in seeing the movie if you've read the book. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it at all, but when it comes down to it, read the book instead.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 07:59 PM) I have no idea how manager deals at this point in the season work. Or if it would be official before the end of the season. I'd assume trading a manager for a player would involve the same player trade rules for the players involved. I also don't think you can fire Ozzie today and then trade him a month or two from now.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 07:56 PM) LoMo? Wouldn't clear waivers

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 25, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) For a second, I was getting worried that they were going to rehash an old storyline, but they've gone and f***ed my whole world up again. I can't imagine there ever being a show that was better than this. I still think I'd take the Wire over Breaking Bad, but it's getting closer and closer with each episode.
