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 . . .

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.

TR said...

Thanks for the testicle update Rob!

rob said...

fortunately for dustin johnson, he won't have to worry about his nerves in the final round this year.

I know hockey is over but this has to be the best hockey coach ever.

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"

I have Rory in my pool which means this will end soon. Chris berman- how do they let him continue to do this?

Rory McIlroy is disrespecting Congressional. Now 13-under.

Jerry said...

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.

Post round interviews said it all.....if tigger ever gets back to form we could have something quite special.

So is this movie gonna be any good or what?

T.J. said...

Golf channel is my friend this weekend. I am writing about this U.S. Open for SB Nation DC all day today and tomorrow.

What the fuck was I thinking?

T.J. said...

I have no idea who Webb Simpson is, but he's 3 under through 7 holes so far today.

The Swedes are coming, the Swedes are coming...

If afternoon thunderstorms don't come today, quite a few guys are going to shoot absurd rounds.

zman said...

I just upgraded my phone from an ancient Motorola Razr to an iPhone. It's a bit different.

Danimal said...

Impressive hold out there zman. You should try some sliced bread next.
Rors having a nice steady start today.

Whitney said...

Okay, what is the deal with that tiny putter?

(reminiscent of bedroom conversations of yesteryear)

Danimal said...

Maybe the teej can enlighten us w some investigative reporting for next post.

T.J. said...

No more writing for me today. Perhaps tomorrow ...

Danimal said...

Any word on the Boehner Barry Battle?
