    Am I the only one who liked The Rookie, the story of (then Devil) Rays 38yo science teacher-turned-relief-pitcher Jim Miller? I admit the father character felt a bit contrived. Like, someone said “ok we really really need a villain! Preferably one that gilivrs is a ‘fell good’ ending!” But you gotta love Dennis Quaid in that movie...

    Major League was a complete ripoff of Bull Durham. You know the entire pitch that sold that movie was “Ok how about we take the players from Bull Durham, you know, the grizzled veteran catcher whose seen the game pass him by, the young firebrand pitcher whose all arm and no brains, the Voodoo practitioner, the Christian zealot, all of them, and ... get this... put them IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES!!!?”

    Sorry, no good movie can be made when your cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr, Matthew Lillard, and Wilmer Valderama. It can’t be done. Scientists have proven this multiple times...

    He threw all of 9 innings in spring training. He’s just getting in gear now...

    No, but I am writing off T-mobile’s coverage and Slasher’s love life...

    And you’re stuck in the Pacific Northwest where there’s a 50% chance you’ll get eaten by a Bigfoot...

    The Mariners have 8 hits, but only 2 of them are singles...

    Well the Mariners are on pace to tie that mark...

    You’re also in love with a golfer and you can’t drink legally. That’s life st 20...

    That is cheery news...

    Oh Slash. Why do I think you’re single?

    But according to some, if we don’t pull this put, seaspn’s over. Maybe Dombrowski can have a quick fire sale and start his plans

    Must win? IT’S THE FIRST GAME!!! “Must win” is reserved for games that if you lose, your season’s over. Not for games you don’t want to lose. Even the best teams lose 40% of the time. Get used to it. It’s baseball...

    Good thing Haniger ran into an inning ending out...

    “Summer Catch” was a movie made to put Jessica Biel in a swimsuit. The baseball was a complete backdrop. Despite it being about Yankees, I did enjoy “61*”...

    Technically Nettles preferred super balls over actual cork. There was a famous incident in (I believe) Cleveland where his bat broke and a slew of super balls scattered around the right side of the infield. But what he did was also cheating. Stupid cheating, granted, since doctoring a bat more often can lead to reduced power. But cheating nonetheless. I don’t get why fans get so down on steroid cheaters but have no problem exonerating players who doctor bats and balls (and do so defiantly, like Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry). Some of the PED users weren’t cheating because rules allowed what they did. The same cannot be said for Perry and the bat corkers. (Side note: Perry and the Bat Corkers was the name of my band in high school.)

    How do you people ignore “Little Big League”? Maybe the best written baseball movie of all time...
