Glad they scrapped it. There's no way that they could make a movie out of what the book Moneyball is actually about. This would have ended up being 90 minutes of Brad Pitt as Billy Beane throwing chairs. (And even that would be too complicated for Joe Morgan to understand).
@Kid Twist: And just so people don't think I'm totally nuts, this post originally led with an item about the studio cancelling the film version of Moneyball.
@Richard Lawson: WTF, Lawson??? It's as if you don't even care about the on-going battle between the "new school" statistics-analyzing baseball philosophers and the "old school" salivating over five-tooler scouts.
@HiredGoons: Um, it's called a character? Hell-o! He's always hungry! It's who he is as a person. The guy who eats stuff! Brilliant, I tells ya! It'll make us a mint*!
@Smitros: There once was a VP in Natucket Who for coffee caused a rucket. He insisted on BLACK Admired the First Lady's RACK And then wondered what it would be like to..

We could workshop that a bit, but, yeah, that's the idea.
A Vice President has to fill the time somehow, and he won't be breaking many ties in the Senate.

On Nantucket our VP was living
And hosted his Family for Thanksgiving
His son he did laud
(tho' arrested for fraud)
