2. I don’t want Holliday, therefor, I don’t care what it takes

Also I don’t think we need to try for Holliday, too pricey for a half year rental.

Including the magical summer of 1997 that saw the releases of The Avengers, Godzilla, and my choice for worst all-time, Batman & Robin. I didn’t pay to see any of them, at least monetarily. That is a trifecta of suck that would be hard to top.

I don’t think Beane would go for it, but I’d be willing to give up Danny Dorn and Juan Francisco for Holliday.

1. The Prequel to Dumb & Dumber – I think it was called Dumb and Dumberer, When Harry met Lloyd. Worst freaking movie ever. Saw it at the theatre.

2. I say a package of Dickerson & Francisco and either Roenicke or Carlos Fisher

Jurassic Park II: The Lost World

And I think if a deal materializes for Holliday, it’ll be something like Valaika or Francicso/Dorn/Fisher/Thompson for Holliday and a PTBNL. Maybe someone like Manuel or Viola instead of Fisher, but Dorn and Thompson seems like Beane-type guys to me.

Misleading title, for starters.

Starring Jon Bon Jovi

Seriously, I can’t make that up. We rented it because, I mean, seriously, Bon Jovi? I later saw it on a Saturday morning on the Sci-Fi channel. Sci Fi on Saturday morning has some of the funniest movies: Leviathon, Mansquito, etc.

it would take three of the following: Stubbs, Homer, Roenicke, Soto, Stewart.

Nobody wants Daryl Thompson, fyi.

the only possible change would be if the economy greatly reduced possible trading partners. there cant be too many organizations wanting to take on salary at this point.

Unless we’re picking something up for a longer term arrangement, let it be.

Regarding the movie, it’s definitely Wing Commander.

what in the hell was I thinking?

I don’t want Holliday.

but various factors conspired to move me to walk out of these two:
1). Me, Myself, and Irene
2). 21 Grams

Obc, your list is ridiculous, no way 3 months of Holliday is worth that, and I don’t think anyone would pay that steeply. Homer for Holliday straight up is a bad trade for us, in my opinion. One good, one decent and one marginal prospect is all I would give up. Or one marquee, developed prospect.

Even at 12 years old I couldn’t sit through it. Went back out to the mall and gawked and girls with GBH (“Great Big Hair”) who wouldn’t be caught dead talking to me.

Since we’re pretty much at a consensus, I’ll offer a twist on the Holliday scenario. The general idea seems to be,

“I’d like to have Holliday, but I don’t want to pay the price it takes.”

So substitute the star/starlet’s (this game is for you, too, ladies!) name that fits in that statement. For instance,

“I’d like to have (a date with) Lindsay Lohan, but I wouldn’t have to pay the price of notoriety/possible STD that it would take.”

for Holliday and be fine with it. And maybe another low-level prospect.

The movie? A tie between Blair Witch Project and Natural Born Killers. Never walked out on any movie, but those two were the closest.

Blair Witch just sucked, and made me physically ill to boot! In theory, I should have liked NBK, but it was just so brutally bad.

Manos de Oros : The Hands of Gold (2006)
    A low-budget horror film made by El Paso fertilizer salesman Hal P. Warren, about a MLB Shortstop on vacation who stumbles upon an isolated house inhabited by a polygamous cult of lesbian Softball players. Among its most notorious flaws, besides poor production qualities, is an opening sequence with little dialogue in which the Shortstop drives through the countryside for several minutes looking for a hotel. Also Diego Del Rio ( Juan Castro) is seen striking over out 16 times in the movie for no apparent reason nor with any connection with the plot. The movie is bi-lingual with no sub titles. The plot revolves around the story of how a good field-no hit Shortstop is lured into a farm house filled with lesbian Zombie softball players who convince Juan that they alone can teach him how to hit – from both sides of the plate. Another non-notable feature of the film is Kevin Costner, who played the character Torgo, supposedly a satyr, wore a rigging for his legs that made his performance extremely awkward.Also noted Costner’s total lack of satyr dialect in his speech. The film gained cult popularity by being featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.It has held the #1 spot on the IMDb Bottom 100 repeatedly. It also has a 9% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and the one positive review linked on Rotten Tomatoes is for its Mystery Science Theater appearance rather than the film itself (which the reviewer, Madville Keysonlipsch), calls “unwatchable”).

We don’t need no stinking Holliday

You don’t see a lot of bad movies. Um, maybe one of the porn flicks they used to show at my college? “Debbie Does Dallas, Part XXXVII,” perhaps.

RLN had an interesting discussion in the comments section of their game recap. The problem with waiting around for a three-run homer isn’t the homer. The Reds are hitting about league average homers. The problem is the “three-run” part. Their OBP is terrible.

I think it would take Homer Bailey at least to get Holliday, and I don’t think Jocketty would do that deal.

My wife told me it was the Dennis the Menace movie. We headed off to the drive in, paid to park, grabbed our popcorn and settled in to laugh at Dennis befuddling Mr. Wilson. The opening music began playing and we immediately knew this wasn’t Dennis. We left, making fun of ourselves all the way home.

Holliday, I don’t see happening. I don’t know that I want it to happen. If I’m Beane, I start by dreaming big, asking for Alonso and Stubbs. I’d settle for Frazier, Stubbs and Roenicke. Even that might not do it.

But I sat down to watch The Two Jakes, and I was the last one to leave the theatre – and that was around the 45 minute mark.

Worst movie I’ve ever seen? Battlefield Earth was bad, but I got paid to watch that one. :P

“Head of State” was a pretty bad flick that I paid to see, as was “The Day After Tomorrow.”

With a doubt the worst movie I ever went to see at a theatre. It came out my senior year of high school. It had Jack Elam, Slim Pickens, and Denver Pyle in it. Just terrible.
