Author Topic: Nationals @ Dodgers, Game 1 (Read 37937 times)

Here's the deal: Today at Dodger Stadium, numerous representatives from Sony were on site, touring the visitors' clubhouse and chatting with some of the Nationals. Turns out, they were doing some wardrobe research for James L. Brooks' latest film. It's currently in pre-production, but filming, the representatives said, will begin in June. And the film's main protagonist? He plays a relief pitcher on the Washington Nationals. And the actor playing that relief pitcher? Rumor says, it's Owen Wilson. (Actually, I was told it's definitely Owen Wilson; it's just a matter of finalizing the contracts, etc.)

The film was described to me as a romantic comedy. (So they better keep ninth-inning scenes to a minimum.) But it will be filmed primarily in Washington, D.C., and it will include scenes at Nationals Park.

For more gossip about the film,

I am perfectly happy with sac flies, one of the many things this team fails to do.

Okay, you'll all thank me for sharing this one. Just click the middle of the image and drag down. AMAZING.

That's pretty cool, but once you drag down, is there anything else to do? Okay, it's really cool, but still.

Probably half the jokes in the movie are going to be about how bad the Nationals are, though.
Could be interesting anyways.

Is it supposed to simulate skydiving or something?

63 pitches through 3 innings for Kershaw. If anything, we can at least tire out the bullpen some for the rest of the series.

And who will play Debbi Taylor?
