How many titles have the A's won using 'Moneyball'? Zilch. Sure they made the playoffs a few years but generally got bounced out of the first round each year. I hope this movie does not get made.

We made it abundantly clear repeatedly and throughout the article that this was all based on Pascal’s statements.

Soderbergh actually CUT the budget from the original given him. Read the comments, how he was planning on getting it done, with the real players/people - then if you think he was crazy, at least you know it's based on something real and not just your own baseless prejudgment.

Please read the very informative comments to Goldstein's blog. MLB had to sign off on the script, no go w/Zallian's too fictional script. There's a difference between factual & documentary, and documentaries come in all sorts of flavors - including entertaining (Super Size Me, Spellbound). Moneyball insiders spell out in the comment section that Soderbergh's approach wasn't a last minute stealth surprise, and refutes Pascal's other statements.

Too bad. I think it was a good call on Pascals part. Soderbergh must have some ego if he thinks he can change the project so drastically and expect no one to react to it .
