You're such a loser dad, just enjoy the show.

When I watched it for the first time, I didn't react at first, why did his daughter sing "You're such a loser dad, just enjoy the show" in the end.

Later, I found a comment on Yahoo ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110925180842AA48a47 ), the explanation was really good, and the translation was dropped below as a film review :



Patrick Murphy:
In Moneyball, why In the end, the little girl is going to sing "You are really a loser"?

? (Respondent not signed):
I think it may actually be that Pete was conquered by that big contract just like ordinary people would do, and he was going to Boston to accept that contract. He told his daughter, and then her daughter gave him the CD. So he started broadcasting in the car... When he finished singing, he was deeply moved, so he finally decided to stay in Oakland and stay with his daughter.


Schuyler:
Yes, I also think that the last sentence his daughter sang was too weird if it was a joke. In fact, his daughter knew him better than anyone around her father. Pete was very successful. After he left high school, he went straight to the major leagues (although he did not become the best, but this is still great), then he served as a scout and then became the general manager of Oakland. This may not be enough to prove his success, but he then brought this almost poorest team to the American League conference finals, completely changed the course of baseball, but Pete still did not feel happy. So she sang "You are a real loser" and laughed at her father because she knew that this was who Pete thought she was, and it was not fair. Pete is a victor, a very remarkable victor, but he himself has not been able to realize this. Like the overweight batsman stumbled to first base, he was completely unaware that he hit a home run. This is why she finally sang "just enjoy the show" on the CD. She is telling her father not to be so harsh with herself, he should be happy for what he has done...

Moneyball quotes

    Scout Artie: I like Perez. He's got a classy swing; its a real clean stroke.

    Scout Barry: He can't hit a curve ball.

    Scout Artie: Yeah, there's some work to be done, I'll admit that.

    Scout Barry: Yeah, there is.

    Scout Artie: But he is noticeable.

    Matt Keough: And an ugly girlfriend.

    Scout Barry: What does that mean?

    Matt Keough: Ugly girlfriend means no confidence.

    Scout Barry: OK.

    [Beane buries his head in hands out of frustration with the conversation]

    John Poloni: Now you guys are full of it. Artie's right. This guy's got an attitude and an attitude is good. I mean it's the kind of guy who walks into a room and his dick has already been there for two minutes.

    Phil Pote: He passes the eye candy test. He's got the looks. He's great at playing the part. He just needs to get some playing time.

    Matt Keough: I'm just saying his girlfriend is a 6 at best.

  • Peter Brand: It's about getting things down to one number. Using stats to reread them, we'll find the value of players that nobody else can see. People are over looked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cuts straight through that. Billy, of the twenty thousand knowable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty five people that we can afford. Because everyone else in baseball under values them. Like an island of misfit toys.
