Clooney could pull off the negotiations better, I could see him doing the part of the book from draft day where he's calling up Steve Phillips, gets the secretary, and asks "whos' the best looking GM in the league?"</p> <p>I think Kevin Costner would be best in the role, he's done more baseball movies than anyone which is both good (Bull Durham) and bad (For the love of the game)</p> http://www.athleticsnation.com/2006/8/30/85315/3090 TexasAsfan Wed, 30 Aug 2006 12:53:15 -0000 <p>I can't wait to see their blog once the A's clinch (I believe the magic number is 24)<br /></p> <p>Their most recent blog post has their magic number on it (38) despite how they are closer to the 4th place team than the 1st place team. They really need to pull their heads out of the sand.</p> <p>I think today's game will probably be similar to last night's I'm just glad that Los Kirk was able to keep the line up down because Beckett looked really good. I hope Zito can put together another very good outing, I'm not going to say that him giving up a hit before the 7th will be a dissapointment, but he is on my fantasy roster, and I need the ERA and WHIP boosts</p>
