.No Hollywood Ending for A’s

The biggest day left for the Oakland Athletics in the 2011 season happens on celluloid. The limping A’s, having just gotten rolled by the Detroit Tigers are now 14 games back from the first-place Texas Rangers. In other words: Out. Of. It. But this season has one last bit of sour magic left to play. On Friday September 23rd, the Moneyball movie, is opening in theaters. That’s the day after the actual A’s home season ends. Sometimes you don’t get any of the bounces.
