00:02There are rich teams, and there are poor teams.
00:04Then there's 50 feet of crap, and then there's nothing.
00:08Welcome to Oakland.
00:09My job is to take this team to the championship.
00:12I need more money.
00:13We're not New York.
00:14We're not going to compete with $120 million payroll.
00:17We've got to think differently.
00:23Your goal shouldn't be to buy players.
00:25Your goal should be to buy wins.
00:27Who are you?
00:27Here is 25 players that have been overlooked by every other team for one reason or another.
00:32Like an island of misfit toys.
00:35In here is a championship team.
00:37One that we can afford.
00:38Who's the kid?
00:39The kid is the new assistant GM.
00:42We're going to shake things up.
00:44Tell him.
00:46You want me to speak?
00:48We're not pointing at you yet.
00:50This is the new direction of the Oakland A's.
00:52We are card counters at the blackjack table.
00:55We're going to turn the odds on the casino.
00:57You don't put a team together with a computer, Billy.
00:59You have to die.
01:03Billy Bean has come in and tried to reinvent a system.
01:06Now it's just not working out.
01:08They call it Moneyball.
01:12I think that he bought a ticket on the Titanic.
01:16Hey daddy, do you think you'll lose your job?
01:19What?
01:19Like go on the internet sometimes.
01:21Well, don't go on the internet.
01:22Watch TV or talk to people.
01:28Do you believe in this thing or not?
01:31100%.
01:33Listen up.
01:34You may not look like a winning team, but you are one.
01:38So, play like one tonight.
01:42We're doing something really unexpected and special and the whole city is feeling it.
01:46If we win with this team, we change the game for good.
01:54It's better work.
01:57I'm just kidding.
01:58If you hit it, just keep giving it.
02:01If you have to go home.
02:04If I am tired here-
02:05Be aware of any other things we never did.
02:05You can hit me twice.
