BLINK: THE MOVIE, STARRING YAHOO SERIOUS AS MALCOLM GLADWELL: A "Moneyball" movie? With Brad Pitt? Interesting as it is what Billy Beane did with the A's, I don't see a dramatic arc that works here. Unlike the Indians in Major League, you can't end it with the trip to the post-season. Moneyball didn't produce anything but a series of first round exits for Oakland.

And what's the pre-credit, subtitled denouement? "Oakland would eventually saddle SF with Barry Zito, who stunk up the house for a year-and-a-half"?
