GAME THAT PLAYED ON YOUR LIFETIME . MICKEY MANTLE.
15 OCTOBER 2001
AMERICAN LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME DISPOSAL
THE MAN WHO CHANGED THE GAME
They are standing and anxious.
They will have another chance to win the championship.
That never happened in Yankee Stadium.
Okay, Joe, can let on.
- I do not need... - Joe, you can leave.
What will these children with clothes,
hats and bands Giambi?
They are booing in July when the Yankees announced
but Giambi was betrayal problems or are on the east coast?
You can not blame him.
How so? They will earn $ 120 million in six years.
The Yankees have the money to pay for it.
not blame the player? We give everything for the Yankees.
How were they?
were very good, but it was hard.
Not so.
was, yes. They were great, did not work for us.
We will improve next year.
But we got close, very close.
was nearly so. You should be fine.
I thought it was great.
We will not improve next year.
- Why not? - We're being robbed.
We'll miss Giambi, Damon, Isringhausen.
over. We problems.
You will find others. Found Jason, Damon...
I need more money, Steve.
We have no money.
I can not compete with $ 38 million.
not going to compete with larger teams.
We will work with what we have,
and you will do its best to recruit new players.
We will not pay $ 17 million anybody.
I'm not asking that.
not pay these salaries, I just want some help.
Give me some more, and I will bring championship.
's why I'm here, why you hired me.
And I must ask: what are we doing?
- ... You know - we are not champions.
This is my level of demand.
I want to make this team a champion.
Bill, we are a small team. And you're a little technical.
I ask not to be spending money they do not.
ask you to breathe deep, forget this defeat,
meet with your team
and find out how to replace we lose what we have.
I'm not leaving here. Can not go doing that.
What else can I help you?
- It's a good offer... - I need one more day.
He has decided...
I have another link, since you care.
- I promise I'll try. - Bye.
- Yes - Billy is Scott.
- I just talked to Dan - No kidding!
not believe it.
got Johnny U.S. $ 7.5 million. Whether it?
They offered $ 7.75 million.
- Are you there? - We had an agreement.
, but I gain.
- You fooled me. - It's just my job.
not even fooling me.
Congratulations, your asshole, you win!
- I like that guy... - The other player is better...
- Hey, what is? - I like Geronimo.
He is athletic, big, talented .
- It's great. - Has a nice face.
- Good job. - These are the five essential things.
- He kicks ass? - He hits the ball.
The ball explodes when it bounces.
He hits the ball with the bat , and when he hits,
connects with it, can we heard throughout the stadium.
Much Ado.
If he hits well, that is not here?
He is good, it will be ready.
It will be good when the game is ?
It will be great.
It will improve if the training, will improve.
He knows how to play.
Just take a chance.
Let's move on. Artie, who you like?
I like Perez, he has a classic hit.
- I do not like it. - Not good.
has a lot to improve, but it has attitude.
- His girlfriend is ugly. - So what?
So he has no confidence.
Artie is right, the guy has attitude.
When he enters a room,
his dick enters 2 minutes before.
It is great for attracting girls.
It's beautiful, plays well, just need to make points.
But his girlfriend is note 6, at most.
But it may be the perfect replacement .
Billy, you have a suggestion?
I suggest talking.
talk as if it were something normal, but it is not.
We are trying to solve a problem.
But you do not know what the problem is.
We know what it is.
Beauty, then what is?
Billy we all know what the problem is.
- We have... - Beauty. What is the problem?
The problem is that we need three players.
Claus, what's the problem?
We have to replace the players who...
No. What is the problem, Barry?
need 3-8 hitters, receivers...
The problem is, teams have rich, poor teams,
there is 10m of shit, and then is where we are.
a game is unfair.
We were screwed. Donate our organs to the rich.
Boston is with our kidneys, the Yankees with heart
and you are sitting there, talking the same thing, </ p >
like most natural thing in the world.
As if we wanted to Fabio.
We have to think otherwise!
We're the last placed.
You know the result? Death!
Nice story, but I think all are aware of the problem.
You have lots of experience and wisdom,
but must believe in us,
and let us find < br /> a replacement for Giambi.
- There's another Giambi as a first base? - No.
- And if we can afford it ? - No.
So what the fuck you're talking about, man?
If we try to do as the Yankees here,
lose to the Yankees out there.
It seems to be traveling in the mayonnaise, Billy.
- No, it's logical. - Who is Fabio?
He is confident.
not it time to panic.
We will find new players,
we train them and prepare them to play baseball.
- Personal ... - We've lost too much time here.
Why not let us replace Giambi
know someone who knows how to play it?
He knows hitting is a good player.
bastard is hitting all.
You're a good player, Billy.
know running, throwing, hitting ...
His talent is rare.
was time that he saw a well as complete player.
I hope you interest in playing professionally,
in a team as strong as our , and bring the title.

He just did.
In this case, I think he gave more attention to my boss.
Who are you?
I'm Peter Brand.
do not care about his name.
What happened there?
What happened in that room?
- I do not understand. - What Bruce told?
just said I like Garcia
Why like Garcia?
Why?
baseball's current system has flaws,
and still not get it.
That is, the great teams put former players
to manage their teams.
I apologize.
Continue.
Managers of baseball teams
think the goal is to buy players.
Your goal should not be buying players
but buying wins.
For that he must buy points.
had to replace Johnny Damon.
Boston Red Sox see Damon as a star
worth U.S. $ 7.5 million per year .
When I see Johnny Damon...
What I see is...
An understanding of where it comes from bad athletes.
The guy is a great team, a decent hitter.
But it $ 7.5 million per year for the Red Sox?
No.
Baseball finds it incredible.
are doing the wrong questions.
And if I say that to people,
they would laugh at me or ignore me.

And to be honest...

Those hits in sequence, do not see every day.
Most young people who have an interest
are good at only two grounds
and hope they < br /> develop the rest of the way.
His son is a complete player.
He has the potential to become a baseball star,
it if it starts early.
We are willing to make a good proposal,
on a team where he can believe
and we hope he plays against big teams.
This check here represents supply
the New York Mets for Billy.

I know, yes.
So he can do both?
Unfortunately, it can not go to college and play baseball.
He will have to choose between the two.
If he wants to be the star of the Mets,
baseball will be the first and only choice.
comes a time in our lives that we can not more you play,
just do not know when it will be.
For some was to 18 years, and the other 40.
But the day will come.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
We want very much. And this check shows this.

People go unnoticed by variety of factors.
Age, experience, personality.
Bill James and mathematical codes beyond that.
Of the 20 000 good players to consider

that can afford.
Because all the other baseball to devalue.
How broken toys.
Billy, this is Chad Bradford . It is a newspaper photo.
He is one of less valued players.
Your defect are frozen rolls.
Nobody pays much attention to it.
If you look at the numbers, is the best pitcher.

None.
Billy, we 38 home runs, an average of 128...
If you want to replace Giambi

Jeremy is very good for only $ 285 000.
Number 2.

His agents would change the contract just to get rid of it.
- Exactly. - David Justice 10 years ago
had a great name. Won big games.
all He did buy tickets in advance.
But in July and August, it will still be fat.
He has no more leg strength.
has errors on defense and I wonder speed.
He no longer runs.
We'll be lucky to get him 60 games.
Why like him?
seen at the base.
- What? - What shall we do?

What can he do?
Guys, look the reports. More quickly.
- Arrive at the base. - So what?

The good news is that you want the 1st base.
We want you in the 1st basis for the Oakland A's.
Okay, wow!
- There could be catcher. - Scott is no longer one.
If it were, more people would have called you .

There is an organization in Baseball
not have bet on Billy Beane.
And the gamble paid right, every year.
Only a few are like that.
scouts can enter the head of the young
and determine if he has confidence be won.
So they signed is based on your ability.
But he must have success to be confident.
is confident as he gets results.
They make a decision on what they see and hope it works out.
is well. Baseball is like that.
Make decisions and wait for the results.
Billy, this is Kevin Youkilis.
The Greek God of the ball. Is my hero.
He arrives at the base more than anyone in baseball except Barry Bonds.
I tried to convince the team to pick it up last year
but he refused.
The agent would not let him. Not let me see it.
All right, Billy?
Billy.
Can we talk?
We can, of course.
is not the training, why?
- May I speak? - Sure.
League Baseball, Mets fans
would be happy to end you keep doing it.
not create a team based on a computer.
- No? - No.
Baseball are not just numbers,
and not everyone could do what we do,
because they do not know what we know.
They did not have our experience and our intuition.
Okay.
Billy, that boy is degree in Economics.
Here is a scout with 29 years of baseball.
is listening to the wrong person.
There are situations that only those who live in baseball understand.
is regardless of what scouts have done for 150 years?
adapt or die.
This is not just about the their problems, right?
20 years ago, a scout wrong.
now want to declare war to the whole system.
Okay, wait, it's my time.
You do not have a crystal ball,
can not predict the future of anyone.
I can not .

And I know all about your son. "
But you do not know.

- And Chad Bradford has. - What about him?
I like him, but he specializes .
not someone who can change position.

I can not understand.
David Justice?
After all he did, have my doubts.
He's not the guy he was .
If they want to throw money away to keep Damon.
Jeremy Giambi was not a good choice.
He spends more time in Vegas than in Oakland.
That alone says it all.
Again.
Again!
Billy, we need to talk about Hatteberg.
Contact .
There is no place for him, I think it is difficult to reach first. base.

I think we can not judge him. I do not like him.
If I could judge it. First. base is the moon for him.
was not for Giambi? It was the worst in baseball.
- But... Giambi was - What are you talking about?
- What do you think? - I think I lack confidence.
We will give him that.
I would do it, but we need train you first.
He wants to go ahead.
We have 6 weeks.
- That's it! - That's what I'm talking about!
- It's a machine! - Throw the ball!
This had better work out.

I think we need team to win, not individuals.
We have much chance.

I would not say I am really looking forward .
Jeremy Giambi, how it feels without his brother, Jason?
They did a good job to replace it.
But the Yankees Jason pay much and you get bit.
How do you feel?
- Well - How are your fingers?
need to start with age 36 years .
How think your body has behaved?
You spent much time at parties.

points will count, Rodriguez will launch .
You should remember our conversation at the beginning.
I thought it was clear what we are doing.
was my fault, I blame .
- What are you saying? - No matter what we do,
if the team does not have the right training .
Billy? You're crazy.
Why not put Hatteberg at first. base?
- Because he does not know how to play. - How do you know?
It is not my first game. He did not know how to hit.
We still get along and just need to 7 games.
Anything else?
Yes, I would prefer that the Bradford Magnate.
- Bradford is right handed. - I do not care.
me, yes.
are doing this because of the contract?
No, this is about you doing their job, and I mine.
My is managing the team you have assembled for me.
- unassembled for you. - No kidding.
Good meeting. Whenever we talked
I feel refreshed.
We Grady Fuson on the line, former chief scout of Oakland.
Grady, can tell us what's going on?
- They call it "Moneyball." - Moneyball?
Yes, is a theory that is not working.
Billy Beane team built on the ideas of Jean Bill.
Yes, who wrote a book about baseball statistics.
The problem is that Bill Jean never played or managed.
It was only the security a factory.
Do you think this means the end of the team?
I think he tries to rescue the Titanic.
Hats off for trying something different, but does not work.
He throws the ball to the center and lost.
are Mariners for 10 games without losing.
Seattle is 13-3.
I can not watch it.
I want to travel with the team?
- You do not. - So, you will.
Why will not you?
I can not have personal relationships with them,
have to be able to exchange them and fire them.
Something you should know how to do .
I do not need to resign, unless you...
- Come on! - What? We train.
No.
I am a gamer and you need to fire me.
- No. - Hurry!
- It's idiocy. - Is part of the work.
Okay. Billy, need to talk.
Continue.
As part of the team, sometimes you have to take
best decisions for her. You will understand.
- will fire me? - I'm sorry.
I just bought a house in Oakland.
- Well, well... - it just has to say?
My son started a new school, made friends.
should not take it school, wait.
What are you talking about?
I do not know! I will not. Is idiocy.
I will not fire anybody, ready.
are professional players, be direct with them.
Without Web-video filler.
Pete, I need to fire him. Jack will take care of bills.
That's it? Really?
prefers to take a shot in the head or chest and die?
are the two options?
- Travel with the team. - Okay.
there, brother. Let me ask a question .
Why your boss does not travel with the team?
He does not like to mingle with the players .
To make it easier to fire us?
I do not know...
Why soda is $ 1 in the locker room?
never seen anything like it.
Billy likes to keep the money in the field.
Money ginger ale? Really?
Where field buying refrigerated for $ 1?
is difficult to see exactly, but it's there .
It is difficult indeed.
- Hi, Dad. - Hi, honey.
- How are you? - Well
- The flight was good? - It was okay.
STILL HAVE PRIDE OF YOU
Oakland A's lost
14 of the last 17 games.
They are 10 games behind.
The experiment failed.
And that was expected.
They have been successful...
But it is not statistics, only people.
The problem is not the time,
the problem is the team manager, Billy Beane .
I think maybe it's time to change the team manager.
Billy Beane is at risk of losing their jobs.
are 18 games and they only managed to 4 runs.
They do not score points. Not only is the office. That's all.
's just trying to fix.
Fix everything. Change than it is now.
What am I doing?
Look...
I believe in what we are doing.
The results do not show where we are at the end.
Pete and I think it's better continue this system.
time experience has been very small.
Where will we be when the interval?
Our goal is in mid-July,
terms won seven games.
- It would be our work. - We would still have a chance.
Exceptionally.
- In July? - July.
And what would prevent that?
- What are you afraid? - Nothing.
is why we are here.
So wake up every day. Is what we do.

or talk to people.
I talk to people. I only read a few things.
All is well, all right.
Seriously, do not worry.
If you lose your job, 'll have to change?
I will not lose my job. Do not worry.
not have any problem.
always has problems, but they are very weak .
- Not worried, right? - No.
- Come on. - Okay.
We will do that.
Justice is the engine, Peña is on the bench,
Hatteberg at first. Only he will be the first.
- Whether Peña in the bank? - I.
Hatteberg to play.
Peña is not only the best, but the only first base.
Hatteberg is based on more than Peña, 20% more.
- And his game? - It does not matter.
I'm tired of this conversation.
I disagree with you. That's it.
I plan my time in a way that gives
to explain in job interviews later.
okay?
okay.
- Hey, how are you? - How are you?
slept well?
A little question: do you expect the team improve?
Descend.
Losing is fun?
- Losing is fun? - No.
So why are they kidding?
This is the sound of defeat.
Are you okay?
- You're doing it again. - What?
- is worried about me. - You're the usher, father.
- Do I look worried? - Seems.
You will get on a plane that can fall.
not worry with his father.
Everything is ready.
- I love you. - Me too.
Your daddy is not in trouble.
okay.
- Suzanne, call Wade. - Okay.
- There's coffee? - Has.
- Good morning. - Good morning, Billy.
Hi
there?
- On line 2. - Ed?
- Hello. - Ed, is Billy.
- And then? - I need help on defense.
- Okay. - I will replace Jeremy Giambi.
- Really? - What?
- What do you have? - I need to think.
- What are you doing? - Cleaning the house.
- Mabry? - Mabry who?
- Mabry. - Wait.
- No. - Why not?
Can not change Jeremy Giambi.
could be him.
And I feel that is robbing me?
I am not the name of Giambi is better.
- What's his problem? - None.
We'll start to do the paperwork.
- Okay, but... - He would say something.
He had already given the answer I wanted .
- Suzanne! - Yes?
- David Dombrowski. - Right.
Peña will also run.
not do that. Seriously.
Hatteberg on the line today.
You need to stop and think. Think about what you're doing,
- because she is angry. - I am.
Where wrong?
These changes are difficult to explain.
And why is this a problem?
Do not take an emotional decision.
David Dombrowski in line 3.
Look, let's change things.
Dave, Peña will run and thought of you.
He is hurting the rest of the team.
- will be the rookie of the year. - A star.
He is a legend, Dave.
not in exchange for money.
Sure, you have 5 minutes. I will not wait.
Billy Peña is a star.
If Hatteberg and drop does not work as we want,
this decision will make it be fired.
- That's it. - You're right.
Maybe I'm fired.
And I'm 44 years old, with only high school
and a daughter I would like to be able to send to college.
You have 25 years, graduates of Yale
and learns very fast.
I do not think we're doing the right question .
The question should be:
you believe it or not?
believe.
is a problem to find that we need to explain.
not explain. To anyone.
Okay.
We will see in it goes.
Their projections indicate more victories with Hatteberg or Peña?
is particularly tough, but theoretically Hatteberg.
- So what's the impasse? - Dombrowski on line 3.
Yes?
Great.
I need one more thing. Refrigerant.
Yes, I do not want anyone paying, fill the machine for 3 years.
Seriously.
Great.
Tell Peña he ran.
- You want me to say? - Is part of the job.
Giambi, I want to talk too?
I speak.
- Excuse me, Carlos. - Yes
Can we talk?
You was traded to the Tigers.
This is the phone Jay Prome,
Secretary of exchanges team.
He awaits your call.
- Is that all? - It is.
Okay.
can talk?
course, sit down.
can not put in the first Peña will Hatteberg.
not want to discuss again. I choose who plays.
The decision is yours.
I'm just saying that Peña will not be the first.
Well, I'll put it in the first .
I think not. He now plays in Detroit.
Peña you exchange?
switched.
Valentino, Vilges, Ken, Rob and Santana .
You're crazy!
I am crazy about.
- call me? - Yes, sit down.
Jimmy, you'll play in Philadelphia.
This is the phone Ed Wade, manager there.
He awaits your call.
He will help you with your flight.
Are you a good player, and wish the best .
Jeremy is also gone.
You are killing the team.
Art can continue doing this all day.
agreed with that?
100%.
I leave open?
- Hatteberg! - Lord!
- Go for a run. - Yes, sir.
Listen, everyone.
You may not seem like a winning team,
but you are one.
So...
Play as a today.
When you hit the ball, hit the 625, nearly crushes.
But when balance, is less strong.
far reaches 158.
Every hit is like a hand of blackjack.
Odds changes completely.
With each strike, the force decreases the move 75 points.
- 75 points? - You should be at 100.
Let me explain.
I want you to do 10 to 11 hits per game.
is a scheme where you should be
when hitting players.
- Do you want us to use more force? - Good question. Yes
David Justice!
- I thought of some things. - Want to give me some tips?
How?
I've never seen a manager so talking with players.
I've never seen a manager who has been player.
We have a problem?
No, that's okay. I know your plan. It's a pattern.
But it is for them. Not for me.
Are you special?
I pay $ 7 million per year, then maybe I am .
No, I'm not paying.
Yankees pay half his salary.
They think that from you.
They pay $ 3.5 million for you to play against them.
What do you mean, Billy?
You have 37 years.
Why not talk about what we really want?
I want to take every last drop baseball you have.
you want to stay in the game. Let's do it.
I'm not paying for player you were,
but for who you are.
You're smart, us know what you want.
Give an example for the younger ones.
Be a leader. Can you?
Sure, I can.
All right, then?
okay.
Scotty H. How are you?
What do you think of first. base?
I'm learning, I will improve .
is a difficult transition, but I'm feeling better.
What is your greatest fear?
ball hit in my genitals.
funny. But seriously.
Seriously, this is it.
Good luck then.
Be more social.
- Social? - Is, as a shopkeeper.
welcome people, talk to them. You went to college.
Relax.
Everyone wants to attack, stop trying.
Let the game come to you, do not rush .
is a war.
If I try again, can take more strikes.
If you stay at the base, win.
If not, we lose. And I hate to lose!
I hate losing more than I like to win.
Is there any difference .
Nothing kicks.
- Not in the third. base? - None.
If someone block, throw the ball to someone.
not try to be a hero.
Let them commit errors.
When they make mistakes, do not disturb them .
They will give the ball to you for free.
And one more thing, anything to steal the ball.
is what I do. I paid for it.
I pay you to get on first.
is a process, a process.
okay?
Jason goes to the second. base, but is out .
They can again the second in two games.
the A's can still,.
are two points behind the Angels and have chance in playoffs.
5 have been then.
The A's are 5-3 in those three games .
What's going on with the Oakland A's ? They are seven in a row!
There are lots of fun, but and the influence of Art Howe?
When speaking thus not know what they're talking about.
is not a perfect team,
but Art is the reason for the victory.
Thank you, bye.
- What is it? - Seven straight wins.
- Cleveland has games? - Yes, right here.
- And then? - The light is bad.
- Are you ready? - I?
Great!
Prepare well, rely on his ball.
- Yes, sir. - Stop being distracted.
John, is in a hurry.
Have more patience.
David, great recovery.
Oakland is in a hurry.
They have 17 games this month.
also won two consecutive in Boston and New York.
Remember when traded Jeremy Giambi
and everyone thought he had given up?
In fact, it was not so.
Suzanne Shapiro put on the phone.
They will release it?
ended his season, think they'll fire him.
He took heavy.
Shapiro on line 2.
Mark, is Billy. You will not get close to the playoffs.
Rincon Are you talking about?
are luxuries too big for you.
is not for you?
It is worth half a million and needs another pitcher.
Who is this other?
Prefer not to say.
- San Francisco. - San Francisco!
I'll call you!
- What can a Magnate? - Nothing.
- How much is his contract? - $ 275 thousand.
Suzanne, pass me Seymour.
If we leave the Giants interested
- just about a team to Rincon. - Us
In Line 3.
Seymour, is Billy. What about Bradford?
- You would have almost nothing. - Why do it?
Because I am awesome.
just want some change and a pittance.
Gimme Anderson.
- I like it. - No one likes him.
Let's change soon. By Bradford Armisen...
- Anderson. - Anderson! I do not know his name!
- I think. - And call me back.
Place Shapiro on the line.
Shapiro on line 2.
- Mark ... - You can not pay.
Are you sure? I believe that no one else wants Rincon.
I may be wrong,
but I would link to who was interested.
Do the Mets want to Bradford?
You just give it to Giants.
Suzanne, Steve Phillips.
Between him and the others, San Francisco will do him good.
agree.
We will continue pressing Rincon.
In line 2!
Steve is Billy. Knew I wanted a lefty.
I can give Bradford. Quick and easy.
- What is the scam? - No blow.
you want in return?
Wait.
Bennett perhaps.
- How many years? - 26.
Forget .
Duncan, no.
Furbish, no.
Akerton? Akerton!
- Akerton. - I like Akerton.
you even know who he is.
- He caused problems? - No, it's great.
Only one problem.
In recent times, he was stoned.
No, it was us.
Steve. Steve Shaw.
Steve, since you care.
- The thing is, I'll Rincon. - He is the Giants.
The Giants want to Bradford, then switched to Armisen...
- Anderson. - But I prefer to close with you,
because it can give me $ 225 thousand and Akerton.
- I think. - Think.
But who call me first get Bradford.
He hung up.
I want this guy.
Why did not anyone call?
Shapiro on line 2.
Yes?
Okay, that'll call you. Thank you.
- Put Steve on the phone. - Shaw or Phillips?
ligaríamos Why him?
Tell her I'm on another call.
Hi, sr. Shaw. Is Peter Brand.
Sorry for off , Billy was on another call.
What I Talk U.S. $ 225 000 per Rincon.
Billy wants $ 225 000 for Ricardo Rincon.
Please .
Yes, I'll be very pleased .
Yes, wait a minute.
Say I pay.
When he sells for twice, 'll take the money.
Billy said he would pay
but when you sell it for more next year,
he gets the profit.
Okay, thank you. Since we link.
Suzanne, call Shapiro. Never mind, got it here.
Mark? I Rincon already playing for me tonight.
Have him change clothes and have it. I'll send the money.
This , great!
not want to spoil the mood, but as we got Rincon...
We need to fire someone.
- Chad. - What's up, boss?
I know I have had problems, but still has more games.
I'll work on some things...
need to stop putting the clothes.
leave me?
sorry for the bad news.
I know it's bad.
We can only have 26 players here.
I understand.
Right. Thank you.
- Hey, Richard! - Hola, señor.
"Hola", this should be a shock.
David a hit, the opponent run, can not catch.
The ball bounces off the wall. There are already two runs.
One hit changed the whole game.
Strike three! 12 consecutive victories for the A's.
has something strange going on in Oakland...
He plays the first! And so are 14 straight victories.
14 consecutive victories this year.
The A's came in first place...
explains this that Oakland did?
is the largest winning streak in baseball in 25 years.
The A's won 16 times followed.
I've never seen a sequence so big,
but has no default.
The Yankees of 1927, known for being the best team
only had 19 straight games.
If you look, there is no plausible explanation .
Yeah! With 17 straight wins!
After 71 years,
the Oakland A's tied with the Philadelphia A's.
longest streak
with 17 straight victories.
The A's are victories 2 draw with the American record.
They win by 18 times in a row
and it challenges knew everything about baseball.
most incredible thing happened in the last 4 days...
19 straight games!
NY Yankees 1947 happen again!
19 wins!
WE BELIEVE
4 SEPTEMBER 2002
Do not tell me the score, Pete.
- No, I'm Billy. - Sharon?
- Yes, there is a second? - Yes, what is it?
Actually, I did not expect that meets . Would leave a message.
Anyway, Casey and I are watching the game here
and I would say you did very well.
- I'm very proud. - Thank you, Sharon.
Good luck.
- Okay. - Casey wants to talk.
Hi, is not in the stadium?
No, I'm going shopping .
- Come back, Daddy. - No chance.
- Come back, Daddy. - Not going to happen.
- You're not going to jinx. - See you later, honey.
I love you.
We are in the fourth quarter. And have not lost.
Strike one for Raul Banez.
They scored six in the first, second and one in four in the third.
People would be shocked if he did.
The A's left a legacy.
The A's win 11 to 3...
They change the launcher.
The A's are still in front
but the game still can get out of control.
When it comes time to stop,
but do not know when.
For some it is at 18, others 40 to . But all stopped.
Let me see if I understand, Billy.
Want to quit baseball and become a scout?
I'm not a player.
Are you sure that's correct?
My God! The A's tied in 11 to 11.
is a result that has been expected
since he started the sequence of victories.
the A's are feeling very pressured .
, prepare to enter.
Come on!
And they make a home run!
Unbelievable!
The A's came to be at risk of losing
but they are the winners.
This is the most beautiful baseball
It's total madness!
Hatteberg saved the team.
surprising to all experts,
the Oakland A's managed to do what no one ever did.
They won 20 straight games.
therefore should not be romantic with baseball.
That's nice for the fans.
sells tickets and hot dogs,
but means nothing.
Billy, just winning 20 straight games.
- But what's the point? - We just beat the record.
I do it there...
Listen, I know this game long.
I'm not in it for a record, or by victory.
is where people get hurt .
If you do not win the last game of the championship,
will fire us.
I know how these guys think, they will extinguish us .
And everything we did, all the math...
Any other team can win the championship.
They drink champagne and make merry.
But if we win, with our budget and this time...
The game will change.
And that's what I want, mean something.
The A's are in the playoffs.
They still are not celebrating.
've been here, last year
when he lost to the Yankees.
But if they win today, will be the first time since 1992.
the Minnesota Twins showed
the Oakland A's were not a serious team.
They had a flawed concept that began with the manager,
who thought it might have changed baseball.
You can not think just like in baseball statistics.
What happens on the field is what happens.
You have to steal and run, sacrifice
able to score points and win
which does not is made only with statistics.
No one can reinvent the game.
Yes
With all due respect, this is the Coliseum stadium.
is, yes.
Let's have lunch soon. Why not drink coffee?
Denise.
Thank you.
Today is her birthday, and I need to give a gift,
but it is usually those who buy gifts.
- Have an idea? - A scarf.
wool?
No, that women use to adorn .
And where can such a thing?
With all due respect, missed the playoffs again,
give her a bowling ball.
Steve said it is offering a new contract to you.
You .
So why call me?
Why are the Red Sox.
Because I believe that science has an explanation
to the curse of the boy.
Because I can hire Bill James.
not know why it took so to hire him.
hates baseball.
Well, baseball can hate me too.
But the best thing about having money is that you have many things.
does not matter if baseball likes me or not.
is legal.
Well, I appreciate your call.
Thanks ?
For $ 41 million you created a great side
losing Damon, Giambi, and Peña Isringhausen.
won more games without them than with them.
You won the same number of games that the Yankees,
they spent only $ 1.4 million per win,
while you spent $ 260 thousand.
I know you're being criticized, but you're the first.
You know it's painful, always .
This threatens not only their business,
but they think that affects the game.
But actually affects their jobs.
Just so they do things.
And when we do it all,
who has power is king.
They are crazy.
Anyone who is not dismantling teams
going back and using your model is a dinosaur.
will be sitting on a couch in October
seeing the Red Sox winning the championship.
What is this?
I want you to be my manager. Is my offer.
Think fast!
What was that?
- Sorry. - What was it?
It's crazy.
- How was Boston? - Impressive.
Got a good offer at least?
- does not matter. - What was it?
You would be more the manager paid for the entire league.
there?
only took a decision in life based on money
and swore I would never do that again .
You will not do it for the money.
- No? - No.
You will make money for what it represents.
said the same as any player.
What it's worth.
What idiocy.
I really wanted to win.
I really wanted.
Thank you for what he did, Billy.
We lost.
lost.
Just a few days. Wait a few days to get over.
How do I overcome this?
Come with me to the video room. I want to show something.
I'm not into watching movies.
Come on, seriously. Come.
Jeremy Brown, catcher, of 108kg,
never had a chance to play in the second. base.
This is a video six weeks ago.
He throws a fastball and Jeremy gets in the center.
more interesting is the following...
Jeremy does what he never did, will try.
He will spend the first and go with everything.
These are all Jeremy nightmares coming true.
are laughing at him.
And he will find out why.
It is to realize that the ball past the fence.
He made a homerun, but did not realize .
How not be romantic with baseball?
- It's a metaphor. - I know it is.
Beauty.
Pete, you are very good.
I'll call you.
Hi, Dad, this is a song I recorded.
not show to anyone else.
Let me know if you change your mind and stay in California.
If not, you is a great dad.
Billy Beane turned down the offer THE RED SOX OF $ 12.5 MILLION
