- He’ll be fine, Ed.
- Why do I get the feeling you’re picking my pocket?
- I’m not. You’re picking mine. Giambi’s name alone is worth more.
- -What’s wrong with him? -Nothing.
- Can we say it’s done in theory and start drawing up the paperwork?
- -Okay, but you’re gonna have– -Great.
- He was gonna say something else.
- When you get the answer you’re looking for, hang up.
- -Suzanne. -Yes?
- -David Dombrowski. -Okay.
- -And Peña’s going too. -I don’t think you should do that.
- -I really don’t think you should do that. -I want Hatteberg in the lineup tonight.
- You need to take a minute.
- I think you seriously need to think about what you’re doing. -Because you’re upset. -Okay.
- What am I missing?
- These are hard moves to explain to people.
- Why is that a problem, Pete?
- Don’t make an emotional decision, Billy.
- -David Dombrowski’s on 3. -Look, we’re gonna shake things up.
- Dave. Peña’s going on the block. You’re my first call.
- Because he’s making the rest of the team look bad.
- He’s gonna be a Rookie of the Year.
- -Probably an All-Star. -He’s an All-Star, Dave.
- No. I want a reliever and cash.
- Okay. You got five minutes, Dave. I’m not waiting.
- Billy, Peña is an All-Star, okay?
- And if you dump him and this Hatteberg thing doesn’t work out…
- …you know this is– This is the kind of decision that gets you fired.
- It is.
- Yes, you’re right.
- I may lose my job.
- In which case I’m a 44-year-old guy with a high school diploma…
- …and a daughter I’d like to be able to send to college.
- You’re 25 years old, with a degree from Yale…
- …and a pretty impressive apprenticeship.
- I don’t think we’re asking the right question.
- I think the question we should be asking is… …do you believe in this thing or not?
- I do.
- It’s a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
- Don’t. To anyone.
- Now, I’m gonna see this thing through, for better or worse.
- Just tell me, do you project we’ll win more with Hatteberg or Peña at first?
- It’s close…
- …but theoretically, Hatteberg.
- -What are we talking about, then? -Dombrowski’s on again, on 3.
- Okay, that’ll work.
- Great. I need one more thing.
- Soda. Yeah, I don’t want my guys paying for soda.
- I want you to stock my machine for three years.
- I’m serious.
- Great. It’s a deal.
- Go tell Peña he’s gotta pack.
- -You want me to tell Peña? -Part of the job.
- What about Giambi? You want me to tell him too?
- I’ll tell him.
- -Excuse me, Carlos? -Yeah?
- -Can I speak with you a minute? -Yeah.
- Carlos, you’ve been traded to the Tigers.
- This is Jay Palmer’s number. He’s the traveling secretary for the team.
- He’s expecting your call. He’ll take care of everything.
- -Is that it? -Yes.
- Okay.
- Art, you got a minute?
- Yeah. Take a seat.
- You can’t start Peña at first tonight. You’ll have to start Hatteberg.
- I don’t wanna go 15 rounds, Billy. The lineup card is mine, and that’s all.
- That lineup card is definitely yours. I’m just saying you can’t start Peña at first.
- Well, I am starting him at first.
- I don’t think so. He plays for Detroit now.
- You traded Peña?
- Yeah.
- And Menechino, Hiljus, Tam are all being sent down.
- -You are outside your mind. -Yeah. Cuckoo.
- -You wanted to see me? -Yeah, Jeremy, grab a seat.
- Jeremy, you’ve been traded to the Phillies.
- This is Ed Wade’s number. He’s a good guy, the GM. He’s expecting your call.
- Buddy will help you with the plane flight.
- You’re a good ballplayer, Jeremy… …and we wish you the best.
- Jeremy’s gone too.
- You’re killing this team.
- Art, I can do this all day long.
- You agree with this?
- Hundred percent.
- You want this door closed?
- -Scotty H. -Sir?
- -Go field some grounders. -Yes, sir.
- Everybody, listen up.
- You may not look like a winning team…
- …but you are one.
- So play like one tonight.
- When you’re getting your pitch, you’re hitting .625, massive. You’re crushing the ball.
- But when you swing at things– Your pitch is middle-in.
- When you’re swinging low and away, you’re batting .158.
- Every at bat’s like a hand of blackjack. Every card that’s dealt, your odds change.
- So every first-pitch strike, your batting average goes down about 75 points.
- Seventy-five points.
- He should throw 100 pitches before the fifth.
- You wanna knock that starter out.
- I want you taking at bats off the 10th and 11th pitcher by the end.
- This is your basic breakdown of the pitches… …where you should be hitting them, why.
- -So you want us to walk more? -Good question. Yes.
- Mr. Justice. -Had a few thoughts. -Yeah?
- -Yeah. -Gonna teach me some things?
- Excuse me?
- Never seen a GM talk to players like that.
- You never seen a GM who was a player.
- -We got a problem, David? -No, it’s okay.
- I know your routine.
- It’s patter. It’s for effect.
- But it’s for them, all right? That shit ain’t for me.
- Oh, you’re special?
- You’re paying me 7 million bucks a year, man, so, yeah…
- …maybe I am, a little bit.
- No, man, I ain’t paying you 7.
- Yankees are paying half your salary.
- That’s what the New York Yankees think of you.
- They’re paying you $3.5 million to play against them.
- Where you going with this, Billy?
- David, you’re 37.
- How about you and I be honest about what each of us want out of this?
- I wanna milk the last ounce of baseball you got in you. And you wanna stay in the show.
- Let’s do that.
- I’m not paying you for the player you used to be. I’m paying you for the player you are right now.
- You’re smart. You get what we’re trying to do here. Make an example for the younger guys.
- Be a leader.
- Can you do that?
- All right. I got you.
- We’re cool?
- We’re cool.
- Scotty H.
- -Yo, what’s up, D.J.? -Picking machine.
- How you liking first base, man?
- It’s coming along. Picking it up.
- You know, tough transition, but I’m starting to feel better with it.
- What’s your biggest fear?
- A baseball being hit in my general direction.
- That’s funny. Seriously, what is it?
- No, seriously, that is.
- Well, hey, good luck with that.
- Be social out there.
- -Social. -Social. Like a greeter at the Gap.
- Guy steps into your office, chat him up. You’re well-read. You went to school.
- -Yeah. -Have some fun. Relax.
- Everyone wants to attack. Quit trying to attack.
- Let the game come to you, man. There’s no clock on this thing. This is a war of attrition.
- If I take more, I could even take a few strikes, but I’ll get walked more.
- You get on base, we win. You don’t, we lose.
- And I hate losing, Chavvie. I hate it.
- I hate losing more than I even wanna win.
- And there’s a difference.
- -No bunts. -Bunts is an out.
- -Even if the third baseman is back? -No bunting whatsoever.
- If someone bunts on us, throw it to first.
- Don’t be a hero and go to second.
- Let them make the mistakes.
- When your enemy’s making mistakes, don’t interrupt them.
- They’re giving you an out. Just giving it to you.
- Take it. Say thank you.
- Another thing. No more stealing.
- That’s what I do, what you pay me to do.
- I pay you to get on first, not get thrown out at second.
- This is a process. It’s a process, it’s a process. Okay?
- Jason takes it, goes to second for the only out, and the A’s get a run.
- Jermaine Dye homers again, his second in two games.
- And the A’s are still hanging in. We’ll get you scores here.
- The A’s pull within two of the Angels for the wild-card chase.
- The Reds have now dropped five in a row…
- …as Oakland beats them in the beginning of this series 5 to 3.
- Tejada walks. Ball four.
- Ball four and Hatteberg walks.
- What is happening in Oakland? The A’s have won seven in a row.
- A lot of excitement. What a winning streak. But how about the calming influence of Art Howe?
- When you say “your source,” if it’s not me or Peter, they don’t know.
- -Right. -It’s not a perfect roster. But right now, Art Howe is the reason this team is winning.
- -He deserves the credit. -Great, thanks. Bye.
- Did you hear that?
- I heard “seven in a row.” You get the Cleveland matchups?
- Yeah, right here.
- -Voos. -Billy.
- -That smell is getting worse. -I’m on it.
- -What are we doing? -Splitting it in half?
- -Both sides of the plate. -Got it.
- -Huddy. Mix it up. -Yes, sir.
- -Trust your slider, yeah? -Yes, sir.
- You guys quit distracting him.
- You couldn’t hit that shit last night with a paddle.
- You gotta see more pitches.
- -All right, Billy. -Patience.
- -Hey, David. -Hey, Billy.
- -Great at bats. -Thank you.
- -Really quality. -Thank you.
- Base hit to right field. Tejada scores. Chavez coming in. The ball gets past Guiel.
- The A’s, from 5-nothing down, now lead 6 to 5.
- The Oakland A’s are completely out of hand at the moment.
- They are an AL-best 17 and 4 this month.
- They also took back-to-back series at Boston and at New York.
- Remember when they traded Jeremy Giambi in June… …and everyone thought they’d just given up?
- Actually, not so much.
- Suzanne, get Shapiro on the phone.
- -You thinking Rincon? -His season’s done. He’s lost faith.
- -I think he’s gonna dump him. -Hard-core.
- Shapiro on 2.
- Mark, Billy. Let’s be honest. A premier setup man isn’t gonna get you closer to the play-offs.
- -Are you referring to Rincon? -He’s a luxury you can’t afford, man.
- And you can? There’s half a million on his contract.
- And we’ve got at least one other suitor.
- By “at least one,” you mean one.
- -Who is it? -I’d rather not say.
- -San Francisco. -San Francisco.
- I’ll call you back.
- What do you think we can get for Magnante?
- Nothing.
- -What’s left on Venafro’s contract? -Two seventy-five.
- Suzanne, get me Sabean on the line.
- Get the Giants interested in Venafro, Mark’s only got one buyer for Rincon.
- -Us. -On 3.
- Saby-Sabster, it’s Billy. What do you think of Venafro?
- I can let you have him for almost nothing.
- -Why would you do that? -Because I’m amazing.
- I want a couple bucks and a sweetener.
- Throw in, say….
- -Anderson. -Anderson.
- -I like Anderson. -No, you don’t. Nobody likes him.
- I don’t know why I’m doing this. But let’s do it.
- Venafro for Michaelson. Anderson. I don’t know his name.
- -I’ll think about it. -Think about it and call me back.
- Get Shapiro on.
- Shapiro’s on 2.
- -Mark. -You can’t afford him, Billy.
- You sure about that? I get the impression the market for Rincon is softening.
- I could be wrong, but I’d call whoever’s interested…
- …and see if they’re still interested. Call me back.
- -What about the Mets for Venafro? -You offered him to the Giants.
- Suzanne, Steve Phillips.
- Between Bonds, Kent, Nen, Snow, San Francisco’s never gonna do it.
- -Totally agree. -We just need them to cool on Rincon.
- -Phillips on 2. -Steve-o, it’s Billy.
- I hear you’re looking for a reliever. I can give you Venafro.
- -I can make it quick and easy. -What’s the angle?
- -No angle. -Who am I getting fleeced for?
- -Hang on a sec. -Bennett, maybe?
- -How old? -Twenty-six.
- Twenty-six, Double-A? Forget it.
- Duncan, no.
- No. Furbush, no.
- Eckerton? Eckerton? Eckerton.
- -Eckerton. -Eckerton? I like Eckerton.
- -You don’t even know who Eckerton is. -Is Venafro hurt?
- No, he’s fine, he’s fine. It’s just an issue for us.
- -Last couple times, he got hammered. -Not his fault.
- -That was us. We misused him. -It’s Steve.
- -I’m almost done. -Steve Schott.
- Look, Steve-o, let me be straight with you.
- Here’s the deal. I’m getting Rincon. It’s a done deal.
- -I heard the Giants– -Giants want Venafro for Michaelson.
- -Anderson. -I’d rather deal with you.
- You can give me Eckerton and $225,000 in cash… …and the Giants can’t.
- -I’ll think about it. -Think about it.
- But whoever calls me back first gets Venafro.
- Schott hung up.
- Oh, I want this one.
- Why isn’t anybody calling?
- Shapiro’s on 2.
- Okay, let me talk to my owner. I’ll call you back.
- -Get Steve on the phone. -Schott or Phillips?
- Why would we call Phillips? Phillips has gotta call us.
- Tell him I’m on the other line.
- Hi, Mr. Schott, it’s Peter Brand. I apologize for putting you on hold.
- -Billy asked me to call you back. -Tell him we want 225,000 for Rincon.
- Billy says he needs $225,000 for Ricardo Rincon.
- Please.
- Yes, I added the “please” at the end.
- Okay. Let me– Hold on one second, please.
- Tell him I’ll pay for him.
- But when I sell him back for twice the amount next year, I keep the money.
- Okay, so Billy says he’ll pay for Rincon himself.
- But when he sells him for more money next year, he’s keeping the profit.
- Thank you very much. We’ll call you back. Thank you.
- Suzanne, call Shapiro ba– Never mind, I got him right here.
- Mark. Yeah. Listen, I don’t want Rincon pitching against me tonight.
- Tell him to change clothes and send him over. I got you the money.
- Yup. Great.
- I don’t wanna dampen the mood at all, but since we picked up Rincon….
- We gotta send someone down.
- -Mags. -Hey, Billy.
- I know I’ve been struggling lately.
- But second half of the season, definitely turn it around. Ricky and I–
- Mike, I need you to stop getting dressed.
- Traded?
- I’m sorry for the crap news. I know it hurts.
- Mike, I can’t have 26 guys in the clubhouse.
- I get it. I get it.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Hey, Ricardo.
- This must be a bit of a shock, I guess.
- Mabry hits one deep to right-center field.
- Racing back, Fick can’t get it.
- It bounces to the wall. One run is in. Two runs are in.
- Mabry, on one pitch, has shot the A’s in front.
- Strike three called. Twelve straight wins for the Athletics.
- Something strange is now happening in Oakland. -You cannot argue that point. -Twelve straight.
- They’re making a joke out of the American League.
- -They were in Detroit today– -He throws to first.
- And that’s the sound of 14 straight victories.
- Fourteen, the longest run this year.
- It has slingshot the A’s into first in the AL West.
- -A nice streak. -This team was written off.
- How do you explain, otherwise, the victories they’ve come up with?
- The Oakland A’s are gonna win 16 consecutive games.
- This is the longest win streak in baseball, folks, in 25 years.
- -The A’s have won 16 in a row. -We’re going to 20! We’re going to 20!
- To have a winning streak of this duration, you have to be good…
- …but there’s an element of randomness to it.
- The 1927 Yankees, Ruth, Gehrig…
- …Murderers’ Row, some people still say the best team ever.
- Longest winning streak for them that year? Nine.
- You guys try to analyze it from a numbers standpoint.
- I’m telling you, there is no explanation for what’s occurring right now. Do you have superstitions going on?
- Do you do things so you keep the streak alive?
- The all-time record of 20 does not seem impossible anymore.
- The A’s were on page one of the New York Times. They are the story in sports in this entire country.
- Two-two pitch, here it is.
- Swing and a miss! Struck him out! Number 17!
- It’s taken 71 years.
- The Oakland A’s have tied the Philadelphia A’s.
- The all-time franchise record 17 straight…
- …and baseball’s longest winning streak since 1953.
- The A’s are two wins away from tying the American League record.
- It’s gone! It’s gone! Tejada wins it! Do you believe it?
- Eighteen wins in a row!
- You could replay these 18 games a hundred times over.
- And nobody wins 18 straight again. It defies everything we know about baseball.
- The most amazing thing you could imagine…
- …happened over the last four days at the Coliseum.
- Tejada, up the middle. The A’s have won 19 in a row!
- The 1906 White Sox…
- …the 1947 New York Yankees have company.
- -Nineteen in a row. -The A’s have a date with destiny.
- They’re going for the all-time American League record… …20 games in a row.
- We’re going to 20!
- We’re gonna take the AL record to 20, baby!
- Don’t tell me the score, Pete.
- No, Billy, it’s me.
- -Sharon? -Yeah.
- -You have a second? -Yeah, what’s up?
- Well, I didn’t actually expect you to pick up. I was gonna leave a message.
- Casey and I, we’re here and watching the game at home.
- And I just wanted to say…
- …you did good, Billy.
- We’re really proud of you.
- I appreciate it, Sharon.
- -Thank you. -Good luck.
- Oh, Casey wants to talk to you. Hang on.
- Are you on your way to the stadium?
- No, I’m on my way to Visalia to see our minor-league team.
- -Turn around, please, Dad. -No way, Jose.
- -Turn around. Come on, Dad. -Nope. Not gonna happen.
- You’re not gonna jinx it.
- I’ll talk to you later, sweetheart. I love you.
- One out here in the fourth, and if you’re just joining us… …you missed a lot.
- And the pitch to Raúl Ibañez. Strike one.
- I think my recap will be simple. The A’s scored six in the first, one in the second, four in the third.
- And people would be shocked if you just did that.
- Eleven to nothing, the A’s do lead. -Shit. -Foul off the foot of Ibañez….
- Safe.
- And the A’s now lead by a score of 11 to 3.
- A nice cushion, but you don’t wanna give teams life… …and let them wedge their way back in, even when you’re–
- Nobody out, the bases loaded.
- And Art Howe on the way to the mound to make a pitching change.
- And this game is still in a state… …where it could get out of control for the Athletics.
- We’re all told at some point we can no longer play the children’s game.
- We just don’t know when that’s gonna be.
- Some of us are told at 18, some of us are told at 40, but we’re all told.
- Mike Sweeney with runners at first and third.
- It’s an 11-to-7 game, the A’s in front.
- Tam peering in for the sign.
- Two out. Runners at first and third.
- And the 3-2 delivery.
- It’s weird, Billy.
- You wanna give up baseball to become a scout?
- I’m not a baseball player.
- Are you sure this is what you want?
- The crowd is roaring. Koch is ready. One-two pitch.
- Alicea puts it in play, a looper to left field for a base hit.
- Around third, tearing for the plate, here comes the tying run.
- Sliding safe. And the ball game is tied at 11-all.
- Holy Toledo.
- The A’s have blown an 11-to-nothing lead.
- This is the specter of a development that has been lurking now…
- …ever since the five-run fourth inning by the Royals.
- And the A’s date with destiny is on hold right now.
- Hatteberg. Hattie.
- Grab a bat. You’re hitting for Byrnesy.
- Come on, let’s go. Get yourself loose.
- …number 10, Scott Hatteberg.
- In your typical A’s fashion, they want a base runner here.
- Scott Hatteberg is so adept at drawing walks.
- He’s looking for Hatteberg to get on base… …maybe bring in a pinch runner.
- That one is gone!
- And it’s 20 consecutive victories for the Oakland Athletics…
- …on an unbelievable night… …when they lost an 11-to-nothing lead…
- …and now they win it.
- The crowd comes back to insane life.
- How do you explain it?
- Crazy. Just plain crazy.
- Hatteberg is mobbed at home plate.
- In 103 years of American League baseball…
- …the Athletics have accomplished what no one has before.
- They have won 20 consecutive games.
- It’s hard not to be romantic about baseball.
- This kind of thing, it’s fun for the fans.
- It sells tickets and hot dogs.
- Doesn’t mean anything.
- Billy, we just won 20 games in a row.
- And what’s the point?
- We just got the record.
- Man, I’ve been doing this for….
- Listen, man. I’ve been in this game a long time.
- I’m not in it for a record, I’ll tell you that.
- I’m not in it for a ring.
- That’s when people get hurt.
- If we don’t win the last game of the Series… …they’ll dismiss us.
- -Billy– -I know these guys. I know the way they think, and they will erase us.
- And everything we’ve done here… …none of it’ll matter.
- Any other team wins the World Series, good for them.
- They’re drinking champagne, they get a ring.
- But if we win… …on our budget, with this team…
- …we’ll have changed the game.
- And that’s what I want.
- I want it to mean something.
- The A’s going to the play-offs with the West Division title.
- Forgive the A’s if they’re not celebrating.
- They have been here before…
- …when Oakland went up two games to none on the Yanks in the ALDS…
- …and went nowhere after losing three straight.
- With a win today over the Twins, Oakland moves into the ALCS…
- -…for the first time since 1992. -But remember one thing.
- Percentages hold up over a season, but for one game, one at bat…
- …throw the percentages out the window.
- What the Minnesota Twins exposed is the fact that the Oakland A’s…
- …were fundamentally not a sound baseball team.
- They had a flawed concept that started with the general manager…
- …and the brain trust thinking they could reinvent baseball.
- You can’t approach baseball… …from a statistical, bean-counting point of view.
- It’s won on the field with fundamental play.
- You have to steal, you have to bunt, you have to sacrifice.
- You gotta get men in scoring position, and you gotta bring them in.
- And you don’t do that with a bunch of statistical gimmicks.
- Nobody reinvents this game.
- Due respect to the Coliseum, but this is a ballpark.
- Yes, it is.
- We’re gonna have some lunch in a little bit. Why don’t I have some coffee sent up?
- Denise?
- Thank you, Denise.
- You know, it’s her birthday and I need to get her a present…
- …but she’s usually the one that does that for me.
- So do you have any ideas?
- Scarf.
- You mean like wool?
- No, I meant what women wear with…. You know, decorative.
- And where would I get something like that?
- No disrespect, I just lost in five for the second year in a row. Get her a bowling ball for all I care.
- Well, Steve told me he’s offering you a new contract.
- So why did you return my call?
- Because it’s the Red Sox.
- Because I believe science might offer an answer to the Curse of the Bambino.
- -Because I hear you hired Bill James. -Yup.
- You know, why someone took so long to hire that guy is beyond me.
- Well, baseball hates him.
- Well, baseball can hate him, you know.
- One of the great things about money is that it buys a lot of things…
- …one of which is the luxury to disregard what baseball likes…
- …doesn’t like, what baseball thinks, doesn’t think.
- Sounds nice.
- Well, I was grateful for the call.
- -You were grateful? -Yeah.
- For 41 million, you built a play-off team.
- You lost Damon, Giambi, Isringhausen, Peña…
- …and you won more games without them than you did with them.
- You won the exact same number of games that the Yankees won…
- …but the Yankees spent 1.4 million per win…
- …and you paid 260,000.
- I know you’re taking it in the teeth, but the first guy through the wall…
- …he always gets bloody.
- Always. This is threatening not just a way of doing business…
- …but in their minds, it’s threatening the game.
- Really, what it’s threatening is their livelihood, their jobs.
- It’s threatening the way that they do things.
- Every time that happens… …whether it’s a government, a way of doing business, whatever…
- …the people who are holding the reins… …they have their hands on the switch…
- …they go batshit crazy.
- I mean, anybody who’s not tearing their team down right now…
- …and rebuilding it using your model… …they’re dinosaurs.
- They’ll be sitting on their ass on the sofa in October…
- …watching the Boston Red Sox win the World Series.
- What’s this?
- I want you to be my general manager. That’s my offer.
- Heads up.
- What was that?
- -Sorry. I don’t know. -What the hell was that?
- You knucklehead.
- How was Boston?
- Impressive.
- Did Henry make you a good offer, at least?
- -Doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter. -What was it? What was it?
- -Doesn’t matter. -What was it?
- That makes you the highest-paid GM in the history of sports.
- So?
- So what?
- I made one decision in my life based on money. And I swore I would never do it again.
- You’re not doing it for the money.
- -No? -No.
- You’re doing it for what the money says. And it says what it says to any player that makes big money.
- That they’re worth it.
- What a dump.
- I really wanted to win here.
- I really did.
- I think you won pretty big, Billy.
- Pete, we lost.
- We lost.
- It’s only been a few days. Give yourself some time to get over it.
- Man, I don’t get over these things. Ever.
- Come with me to the video room. I wanna show you something.
- No, man, I’m not up for film right now.
- Come on. Seriously.
- Come on, Billy. Come on.
- The Visalia Oaks… …and our 240-pound catcher, Jeremy Brown…
- …who, as you know, is scared to run to second base.
- This was in a game six weeks ago.
- This guy’s gonna start with a fastball. Jeremy’s gonna take him to deep center.
- Here’s what’s interesting…
