Fragile Freddy Movie Review - "Moneyball"

You had to know this one coming at some point. I have to admit I have had a love/hate relationship with this movie even before I went and saw it. My initial perception was that there was simply no way to make this book into a movie as it really lacked the "story arc" that a movie needs.As time went on I began to embrace the idea. When the movie was released to almost...

Moneyball is Just a Movie, Right? (Toronto Mike)

I actually wrote this entry on Google+ first... then realized nobody will read it there. So here's a modified version for the 12 of you checking in on a Saturday morning. I saw Moneyball last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's great fun for those of us who like inside baseball, but it also works for the non-baseball enthusiast. Brad Pitt as Billy Beane was a great...

The Giants Are Killing The A's

This has been a long time in coming, and probably really too obvious to write... but can't we just all admit that the San Francisco Giants are doing everything they can to make the Bay Area a one-team town?First there is the domination of the local media. Second is the cockblocking of the move to San Jose, under the rather nebulous claim that because they have had a single A...

Divide and Conquer, AL West: Losing Hope in Oakland by Joey Matschulat

On September 4, 2002, the Oakland Athletics crammed a season-high 55,000-plus fans into the then-named Network Associates Coliseum for what is often fondly remembered as the climactic epoch of Moneyball—the night that the Athletics frittered away an early 11-run lead at home against the lowly Royals, followed by a classic incredulity-fueled Billy Beane tantrum, followed by...

On the Beat: Moneyball at the Movies by John Perrotto

Scott Hatteberg was like so many other people in baseball, as well as fans, when word started coming from Hollywood in 2008 that Moneyball was going to be turned into a movie. "I really wondered how it was going to be done," Hatteberg said. "It was a great book, but the subject matter was very dense. I just didn't see how a screenplay could be adapted from the...

Moneyball movie misses chance to be as important as the story it tells

If you enjoyed the Moneyball book without reservation, you're really going to like the movie (opening Sept. 23), which revives the tale of the 2002 Oakland Athletics run by general manager Billy Beane. But if some of the context of the 2003 bestseller by author Michael Lewis left you put off, you're probably going to leave the theatre entertained, but disappointed by a...

The New Moneyball

Those that read Moneyball remember it well. You had the case of Scott Hatteberg. Hatteberg moved from behind the dish to first base because he could no longer throw effectively.
