Moneyball

One that im looking forward too : The story of Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane’s successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players.

Andrew Garcia : American Idol 9?

American Idol is into the Hollywood week now. After watching 2 performances by Andrew Garcia im confident that he will be the next American Idol!

He reminds me of last years runners up Adam Lambert minus the over the top showmanship.

During the Hollywood week, Andrew Garcia performed his own rendition of “Straight Up” which was brilliant in my view. Im predicting he goes far when the season proper starts and even tipping him to win it!
