The All Star break thread

Exactly . . . All the sabremetrics in the world can't beat hitting it big with 3 cheap and dominant starting pitchers at the same time.

I was actually having this discussion with a friend of mine when she was telling me about the previews. I would really like to see them show how the players Beane shunned if you will turned out to be regular every day players and I believe some of them have even become All-Stars. Meanwhile all Beane has been able to produce since is good pitching.

For what it's worth, Jason Giambi, Miggy and a healthy Eric Chavez did wonders for that era of the A's as well. We haven't even been able to fill one of their spots in the offense since Giambi and Miggy left and Chavez permanently hurt himself.

Brad Pitt laughs at your assessment.

I am enjoying the previews of how they make those A's teams look like the Bad News Bears before Beane comes along.

Rumor was that Fernando Tatis was roto rootering his plumbing.

I've honestly never heard that before. Not disputing it, just never heard it.

Worst movie ever?

Who cares about a GM?

PSH and Pitt must be desperate, I can only shake my head when I see an ad.
