a stunningly subtle movie cowritten by aaron sorkin who more lately wrote "social network."y important. what a night to see "money ball" perhaps the most exciting night in the history of the game. we walk into the bethesda night and head to the tap room and by the time we head off, they're showing three fantastic games all at the same time. there's boston battling for its life with the orioles. there's tampa bay coming out of a nowhere september and taking a last-game leap for the wild card. atlanta is fighting for its life against the philles. the braves had to win because st. louis had already won big that night. i get home in time to see the os win, the first time the red sox blow such a lead. still the sox had a playoff chance if the rays lose. then minutes later all hope is lost as the rays win 8-7 in the 12th inning having overcome a seventh inning lead. the yankees haven't kicked away a game like that since 19 a 53. what a nipgt. in three games this incredible night, there are three ninth-inning comebacks. tonight the playoffs begins texas hosts tampa bay, the yangs h
