Brad Pitt as Billy Beane?

Odds that Joe Morgan thinks Billy Beane made this movie?

Hmm...Could work.

Just hope they don't include the lop-sided trade of Mark Mulder for Dan Haren, D. Barton and K. Calero.

Btw, Go Cards. haha

JP Ricciardi may have some role in this hmmm. Whe the hell could play him? I would think a younger John Turturo but eh I dunno.

Is "Moneyball" that interesting enough to be made into a movie? I find that kind of hard to believe. I thought the book was great but I'm a stats analysis junkie and a sports nut. Chicks taking in this movie just to see Brad Pitt would probably fall asleep.

Great, hopefully it show how two-faced these so-called moneyball geniuses are.

I can't see this ending in anything except colossal failure.

I was about to post about this but saw someone beat me to it...

I have no idea how this could possibly be made in to an interesting movie. I mean.... wtf?

The book was phenomenal but this doesn't seem like the type of writing that would translate well to the big screen.

This will be awesome. Sabermetrics as a movie. Just what the world needs.

I wonder who'll play John Schuerholz.

Probably James Earl Jones reprising his role as Darth Vader.

How can you make Money Ball into a movie? That seems nearly impossible to me.
