Yeah it looks like a typical sports movie without the messy plot line of winning a championship after overcoming insurmountable odds. Should be riveting.

Get Castro out of there. You can't win with a Cub on the field.
I think Bartman is sitting behind home plate.

Everytime I turn on the TV, Starlin Castro is making an error.*

He seems like he's actually pretty solid with the glove. Once he has to throw the ball, look out.

Shift him to 2B?

Seemed likely when they still had Hak-Ju Lee in the system. Not sure what they have in the minors now.

Anybody watching the post-game on MLB Network?
They just interviewed Prince Fielder and his kids were with him.
His youngest son (Hayden) is about 6 years old and he weighs roughly 400 lbs.

Right now, Barney would be the best option to start at SS if it isn't Castro. Their other options are future backups or very young with stick at short questions. The thing about Castro though. I am not sure the type of errors he makes would actually be helped dramatically by a move to 2B. He doesn't short arm throws because of a lack of arm strength. Sure the shorter throws would help some of his accuracy problems but he has the range and arm to stick at SS. He is much more of a pure SS than Barney. The Cubs might as well let it ride until this team is good enough to worry about it and see if the 21 year old can solve some of his foot work/accuracy issues. A quick look at Miguel Tejada shows similar problems his first two years (ages 23-24) but he quickly raised his fielding percentage into league average range. If Castro can do that, his offense is more than enough to make it work.By the way, Hak-Ju Lee is in the same boat. A physically gifted shortstop who commits 30 errors a season. And Castro is just 7+ months older the Lee.

It was pretty obvious that Boche managed the game to win and Washington managed it like an All Star Game where everyone needed to play. I liked seeing Halladay, Lee, and Jurrjens taking the mound for a 2nd inning with a short reliever ready to clean up any mess. Loved his plan for the last three innings as well with a ton of lethal short relievers.

I will go see it, probably twice. And those will be the only two tickets that I know will be sold. Looks like a solid movie, but there is zero market.EDIT: It would probably be a better movie if the A's had actually won a WS or something during their Moneyball peak.

While I don't think it will be a 300M blockbuster, it has Brad Pitt, oscar nominated director, and oscar winner screenwriter.My guess is it will appeal to baseball fans, a tiny bit, women, people who like good movies, and womenI will say it dos between 80-120M in the US
