As for the book.... well, its a bit misleading. Theres not a whole lot of "untold inside story" information. Basically Scott Lauber recaps a game (or two or three depending on the point of the season), and then Sarge gives his "insights" and "thoughts" on how the players are playing at that point (mostly negative, very rarely does he say Rollins is playing great or Howard or Utley or Ruiz or even Hamels or Lidge despit their season). His comments are rarely incisive and even worthwhile unfortunately. He also kind of rambles, and when given more than 3 paragraphs at least one will be all but a duplicate or at least repeating of what he had just said. (He also even at one point calls Charlie Manuel - Jerry Manuel).
It was more or less just a fun recapping of a great season. And sadly there was little information in it outside of some nice recaps that helped me remember certain games throughout the season. (I think the biggest "insider" information was that they were trying to do a 3-team trade that might have resulted in them getting Manny Ramirez but it never materialized).
This probably should get rated 2 stars, but given its subject matter I just can't do it and give it a 2.5 (LibraryThing) and a 3 here on GoodReads. ( )
