No sooner had the major league baseball season ended than I received a Facebook greeting card from JDB: "Sorry the only positive thing to happen to your team in five years is Brad Pitt portraying your general manager."
That's true. Then again, Oakland hasn't had 19 straight losing seasons (like the Pirates) ... the A's did not finish the campaign by collapsing in historic fashion (see: Red Sox; Braves) ... and Pitt's "Moneyball" is a very good movie, although not as epochal as the book. The message of both is larger than sports: Information and its proper use can level any playing field.
Now, I merely must apply that principle to beer sales. Until then, I'll not be able to afford the A's, or Pitt.
