Well Russ if it is movies, "Fast Ball" is great. Not as sexy as Bull Durham. Played for about a week at our art house movie theater. If I remember, Nolan Ryan still has the fastest pitch, adjusted for different measurement methods, although Bob Feller throwing a pitch through a paper target before a motorcycle doing 85 mph has reached its target is pretty cool.

Roger:
I have Fastball and Knuckleball lined up for viewing when I get some time. They both look good.
edit: damn. for the love of the game was good too as was the Rookie. Trouble with the curve too... maybe I should have made it 20 movies!

~70 pitches in 3 innings
Cub's pitcher, who looks a lot like MadBum, hits a 3 run bomb off him
not looking good
Hopefully MadBum will start off the bottom of the 3rd with a bomb

"Hardball" was good, a little reminiscent of "Bad News Bears" which launched a dozen copies in every sport.
Don't forget Ken Burns "Baseball."

That Ken Burns thing is terrific. Well above "movie" fare. Maybe the best baseball treatment ever.

I got Yul Brynner's autograph at the OG Comiskey Park! He was ignoring everybody else's requests but I yelled at him in Russian and he was all WTF, who's there?

Cubs should have saved Arrieta for tonight. But the Cubbies did leave more than a few stranded early in the game that would have changed the outcome.

Conor who, again?
One of the Giants broadcaters says "they're already working on the Conor Gillespie statue right outside the ballpark"
LOL

IT is Do or Die for the Boys in Blue today.
It is better if I don't watch....
When I watch- bad things happen to the Dodgers.
One time I played hookey from work to watch one of those One Game play offs....85 IIRC. The HomeRun Mike Schmidt hit in the ninth.... is still in orbit!
I can still remember the sound of 49,000 people going completely silent.

Add another name to the great baseball movies: "Dodgers Choke Again!" Only the second attraction is : "Giants Can't Win!"
NLDS: Nats and Cubbies! Tonight's the night for wailing on the Left Coast!
