FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

I haven't seen the film, but the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a positive review here:

I'm a fair weather Giants fan, so magical is an appropriate word for how it felt to me. Magical because what Bonds was doing was not believable. When you witness the laws of physics being broken, what other word is there besides magic?

Couldn't think of another word at the time. Now I can: cheating. And maybe: cheated.

Finding out Bonds (and Canseco and McGwire) cheated is like learning the secret to a magic trick. All of the wonder and awe and fun gets sucked out of it. It doesn't impress you anymore.

Now when I look back on those days, it's like drinking a soda that's lost all its carbonation: it used to taste really good, but now it just feels flat.

I thought the movie was terrible! I wanted to see more about BONDS and not thee two jokers. Look at the acheivements with #73, #600 #660, #700! and now maybe the alltime record! - yahoo movies gives it a D+

I also heard they pulled it from the SF theater at the embarcadero (Where I wanted to see it) and there was a San Jose Mercury news story that said the m,ovie wasnt doing well...

I was actually invited to the press screening, but since it was at 2:30pm on a Monday, my other (i.e. paying) job prevented my from attending.

However, I'm going to see the film tonight at Cinema Village in NY. There's going to be a Q&A with Mike Wranovics after the 7:25 show. You can get tickets here:

I'm looking forward to it. It's nice to see a non-Costner baseball film for once.
