the trailer looks like they are trying to do the baseball version of The Social Network

BillyBeane/mpmcgraw is already in line for tickets and furiously beating off.

VORP!

I heard the part about ERA+ and win shares makes ya cry

The trailer looks awful and the book wasn't remotely chronological, so I don't see how it can be a coherent movie.

The basic philosophy that power and OBP generate wins rather than someone being toolsy is sound. I think the book is interesting in retrospect to see who Beane was right about (Youkilis) and who he wasn't (who the farg is Jeremy Brown).

Saw Rango on my flight home last night. I was pretty hammered on cheap airline drinks and I thought it was still pretty stupid.

Rome · June 17, 2011, 05:42:28 PM

How hammered were you that you thought airline drinks were cheap?

ice grillin you · June 17, 2011, 05:58:57 PM

i was just gonna ask what constitutes a cheap airline drink

Tomahawk · June 17, 2011, 06:43:07 PM

When I flew to Philly for a game, I got three free beers for giving up my seat so some whore could sit next to her bastich kid

ice grillin you · June 17, 2011, 06:47:27 PM

tell me about airline boozing

what is the selection like...especially liquor
are the beers 12 oz cans
whats a beer vs a cocktail cost
do they constantly come around like waitresses or do you buzz them
how many can you get

PhillyPhreak54 · June 17, 2011, 09:41:11 PM

If you sit in first class - booze is free. On a flight to South America I ran them out of Miller Lite one time. I had to drink Heineken for my last two before we landed.

Yes they're 12oz cans

If you sit in coach the beers are $6 I believe. Same for most cocktails/wine. Although I think they just rolled out premium cocktails on continental which are like $7-9 a piece - not sure what "premium" entails though.

Sometimes you have to buzz them for another one because some FAs are lazy asses and disappear after meal service. I've had a few who would come and check. In first you can barely finish before they give you another.

The cocktails are the little bottles of liquor that you mix yourself
