Jeremy Giambi Quotes in Moneyball (2011)

Billy Beane: Art, you got a minute?

Art Howe: Yeah. Take a seat.

Billy Beane: You can't start Peña at first tonight. You'll have to start Hatteberg.

Art Howe: Yeah, I don't want to go fifteen rounds, Billy. The lineup card is mine, and that's all.

Billy Beane: That lineup card is definitely yours. I'm just saying you can't start Peña at first.

Billy Beane: Well, I am starting him at first.

Billy Beane: I don't think so. He plays for Detroit now.

Art Howe: You *traded* Peña?

Billy Beane: Yeah. And Menechino, Hiljus, Tam are all being sent down.

Art Howe: You are outside your mind.

Billy Beane: Yeah. Cuckoo.

Jeremy Giambi: [knocking on door] You wanted to see me?

Billy Beane: Yeah, Jeremy, grab a seat.

[Jeremy sits down]

Billy Beane: Jeremy, you've been traded to the Phillies. This is Ed Wade's number. He's a good guy, he's the GM. He's expecting your call. Buddy will help you with the plane flight. You're a good ballplayer, Jeremy, and we wish you the best.

[Jeremy sighs, and exits]

Billy Beane: Jeremy's gone, too.

Art Howe: [shaking his head in disbelief] You're killing this team.
