Replik:
Billy Beane: "You think losing is fun?"

Peter Brand: "Billy, this is Chad Bradford. He's a relief pitcher. He is one of the most undervalued players in baseball. His defect is that he throws funny. Nobody in the big leagues cares about him because he looks funny. This guy could be not just the best pitcher in our bullpen, but one of the most effective relief pitchers in all of baseball. This guy should cost $3 million a year. We can get him for $237,000."

Billy Beane: "If we try to play like the Yankees in here, we will lose to the Yankees out there."

Billy Beane: "The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's fifty layers of crap, and then there's us. It's an unfair game. And now we've been gutted. We're like organ donors for the rich. Boston's taken our kidneys, Yankees have taken our heart. And you guys just sit around talking the same old "good body" nonsense like we're selling jeans. Like we're looking for Fabio. We've got to think differently. We are the last dog at the bowl. You see what happens to the runt of the litter? He dies."

Omdöme: Filmen är viserligen lång och kräver kanske att man gillar baseboll, men manus är välskrivet och välspelat. Blogg Little Bliss ger filmen Moneyball fyra ostar av fem.
