4:10pm – And it begins...I'm a
baseball fan, and the people that share my interest in baseball are
surprised when I tell them I haven't seen this movie so I'm pretty
pumped. I haven't seen a baseball movie I didn't like
except for Major League baseball 2. What a let down that movie was...
4:12pm – I'm sure making love is a
lot like playing baseball, Susan Sarandon...
4:13pm – “The only church that
feeds the soul day-in and day-out is the church of baseball...”
4:15pm – Hey it's Tim Robbins!! This
seems a little bit different than his character in Shawshank
Redemption.
4:18pm – Who would have thought that
his “pre-game warmup” would affect his control.
4:19pm – Kevin Costner! Prince of
Thieves...I would love that Oscar Meyer inflatable
4:21pm – Considering his career now,
I'm sure Kevin Costner would love being a Single-A player.
4:21pm – And he quits...movie's over
4:22pm – He's back! What a plot
twist.
4:24pm – Tim Robbins is cracking me
up, what a goon. He can dance, and he's picking a fight with Kevin
Costner. I don't see anything wrong with this guy in the first 15
minutes of this movie.
4:26pm – Well I liked him until he
got mind f'ed and knocked out by Kevin Costner. What a loser...my opinion of him has taken quite a drastic turn.
4:28pm – Susan Sarandon, you slut.
4:30pm – Crash is just mind f'ing
everyone!!
4:32pm – I wonder if Tim Robbins got
his role in Shawshank Redemption from this movie.
4:35pm – Well that was...interesting.
4:35pm – Hey, it's Marty from Home
Improvement. I loved that show. Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh! (that was my way of
typing out the grunt that Tim Taylor did.)
4:37pm – I talk to myself like that
all the time when I'm at the plate in church league softball. C'mon
Crash stop thinking.
4:40pm – Ha! Crash, you are something
else. Kudos to you for starting the popped-collar trend. Juicy J and
the rest of the 3 6 Mafia should give you some props.
4:43pm – WHOA! Quite the transition
from the batting cage to the bedroom! WHOA! It's Nuke...that was a
little “curveball.” See what I did there...
4:44pm – I like Cerrano's spiritual
antics over Jose's. Is there a guy that believes in voodoo on every
baseball team. Will have to Wikipedia that after this movie.
4:44pm – I'm proud of the tobacco
companies giving back to kids after the kids give so much to the
tobacco industry.
4:47pm – Nuke needs to work on his
coach-ability.
4:48pm – Steaks for everyone!!
4:49pm – How do you pitch from the
mound and get that far away from the plate????
4:51pm – Dag gum lolligaggers...I'm
reciting this speech verbatim to motivate Bench Mob for our upcoming
season.
4:54pm – It's extremely weird seeing
Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon in their roles for this movie.
4:58pm – HA! I love this
broadcasting...
5:00pm – Kevin Costner, you make
these wild claims that you can cause a rain out?? There's only one
weatherman, and his name is Nic Cage.
5:01pm – I will give you credit for
being resourceful, however.
5:02pm – Nuke is such a head
case...who dreams about stuff like that?? Well, apparently Crash does
too...
5:06pm – Do all minor-league teams
have a slut that sleeps with a promising prospect?? There are so
many things I need to Wikipedia after this movie?
5:08pm – Maybe I should try to wear
those girly, slutty whatever those things are when I'm on mound for
the Bench Mob.
5:10pm – Man, I love baseball...
5:12pm – Haha, the manager chatter
cracks me up every time.
5:15pm – Bulls are winning!! I have a
feeling that slutty Annie is going to mess whole thing up...
5:17pm – Baseball is so
superstitious, it's awesome. I guess since it's such a more mental
game than physical, whatever will give the player consistency through a winning streak does actually make a difference. I type this out not to make
a point, but to find something else to write about as Tim Robbins is
getting seduced by Susan Sarandon.
5:22pm – Well Crash just reinforced
my last point.
5:25pm – HA! Everyone meeting at the
mound is awesome...
5:27pm – Shower beer!!
5:30pm – Heeeey Nuke gets called up!
Good for him!
5:33pm – Uh oh, Crash is
jealous...this is not going to end well.
5:35pm – Well that was anti-climatic.
5:35pm – Nevermind!!!
5:36pm – Wait, yeah that was
anti-climatic.
5:38pm - “You got to play this game
with fear and arrogance.” Makes no sense but I know exactly what
that means. Being a marginal MLB player has to be so stressful...and
awesome.
5:39pm – Marty gets married on the
baseball field. That is so manly. Oh oh oh oh oh!
5:41pm – No way they're cutting
Crash...you bastards!
5:43pm – Well, I guess I can
understand him going to Annie's place after that just happened. I can
also understand why he'd want to listen to slow, soft, sensual jazz
music. That stuff is soothing...
5:44pm – This is getting kind of
weird....
5:45pm – And boom goes the
dynamite...
5:46pm – Don't cry over a gallon of
spilled milk.
5:47pm – This music that they're
playing doesn't really belong with the actions taking place right
now....
5:50pm – Well looks like Annie has
fallen for Crash, and she's over Nuke. Maybe she should go for
someone will a less hazardous nickname.
5:53pm – This movie is all about
using emotion to be successful in baseball, while Moneyball is about
using science to be successful in baseball. It is from a different
point of view as you're looking through the lens of a GM and a
player, but nevertheless, both movies provide great approaches to the
game.
