We really enjoyed Brad Pitt's portrayal of Oakland A's GM Billy Beane. The man is obsessed and focused, so much so that he won't even watch the games. Beane just can't take the stress. Heh, we're the same way about politics. When the Yankees bounce the A's out of the first round of the playoffs for the second year in a row, Beane is so frustrated he breaks his radio. We sympathize. Here's something else that really spoke to us. Beane looks back and regrets the way his pro-career panned out. He was a highly recruited prospect but didn't pan out. Beane is haunted by the decision and is racked by regrets. Maybe we all are, but man....talk about hitting the sweet spot.
