    When they first announced this movie I thought ZOMGLOL this will be awful but it's getting good ratings on rotten TOMATOES and a
    couple of buddies said it's good.

    What i have seen on various sites is the more you like baseball, the less you will like the movie.

    Tomato would agree with that.

    Book is significantly better for those who are baseball fans.

    even though it doesn't mean "here we go" potato will use the bud light slogan as his rallying cry

    we finally saw this movie and the first thing potato though was "boy, how amazing would it have been to have royals +1.5 there".
