John: And every time that happens, whether it's the government or a way of doing business or whatever it is, the people are holding the reins, have their hands on the switch. They will bet you're crazy. I mean, anybody who's not building a team right and rebuilding it using your model, they're dinosaurs. They'll be sittin' on their ass on the sofa in October, watch the Boston Red Sox win the world series.
John: For forty one million, you built a playoff team. You lost Damon, Giambi, Isringhausen, Pena and you won more games without them than you did with them. You won the exact same number of games that the Yankee's won, but the Yankee's spent one point four million per win and you paid two hundred and sixty thousand. I know you've taken it in the teeth out there, but the first guy through the wall. It always gets bloody, always. It's the threat and not just the way of doing business, but in their minds it's threatening the game. But really what it's threatening is their livelihoods, it's threatening their jobs, it's threatening the way that they do things.
Billy Beane: Baseball hates him. John: I know. Baseball...baseball kinda hated me and all. One of the great things about money is that it buys a lot of things. One of which is the luxury to disregard what baseball like, doesn't like, what baseball think, doesn't think.

Add a CommentI saw the movie and I had liked it this is based on a true story this is not for children to watch this would be for baseball players to watch
Surprisingly good. There are not many good baseball films, but this is one of them. The humour was intuitive to the game. The theme, of how money is spent to win, was well presented and worthy of debate.
Brad Pitt was excellent. Jonah Hill's performance was lackluster.
I mtoo enjoyed the movie. It doesn't take a real baseball fan to realize the tema's succes probably had more to do with big 3 pitchers Tejada and Chavez rather that Hatteberg at 1st base. Oh well poetic license.
My husband and I both enjoyed this movie. Good story, good movie. Being a Boston fan it was fun to see Fenway towards the end!
Surprisingly good movie.
Great movie. More than just the regular sports flick. One of the better true story films.
script, cinematography, the interaction between the actors, were phenomenal. This movie was an A, solid.
One of my favorite movies of all time. good story and very interesting
It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”
