Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Shooting is set to begin on "Moneyball," a film based on Michael Lewis' indispensable book profiling the Oakland Athletics and their trend-setting general manager. And you, friend, can appear in it! The production crew is apparently looking for extras. Ohmigosh, what if you get to meet Brad Pitt?
That's right, everybody! According to this site, Brad Pitt is Moneyball. He will play the role of Billy Moneyball, who, of course, moneyballed the Oakland Moneyballs into a moneyball-moneyballing moneyball.
For extra credit, document how many times you can say "moneyball" consecutively without it sounding to you like some sort of snack food.

Good chance,
But I honestly think this movie may bomb. I am not saying that Brad Pitt would be the problem, but this is the team that ultimately fell short of a championship by losing to the Twins in the 2002 ALDS. If I had a chance to watch this movie, I would pass.

If Jeremy Giambi were played by Philip Seymour Hoffman,
this would be the greatest movie of all time.
