Another Mr. Beane Movie

It's summertime, and the livin' is easy. Baseball is in full swing . . . and the Mets are already out of contention, so summer movies about baseball will have to suffice.

Okay, fine, autumn movies about baseball. I'm curious to see if anyone thinks this film will entertain. A cinematic version seems generally implausible, but the trailer intrigues me just enough . . .




but it would have been a better Hollywood ending if Jeremy Giambi slid . . .

  5. I'm might not even be exaggerating by saying that Phil's round wouldn't have been any worse if I had hit all his tee shots. And I'm not a good golfer.

  11. If the media insists on saying Weiner's wife is beautiful, they should put this clarifier in:

    "...if you think women who look like Middle Eastern transvestites are beautiful"

  13. Rory McIlroy is disrespecting Congressional. Now 13-under.

  14. For the 1st 35 holes, I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody play better than McIlroy. 300+ yard drive down the middle of the fairway. Approach to 5-15 feet. 1 or 2 putt. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat (except on the pars 3 and 5). If anything, his score could've been a few strokes better. Almost all of his pars were tap-ins and he barely made any low percentage putts.
