the movie seem disjoint and overall and poorly write . the screenplay move along a if 10 different people write it and and none of them be communicate with each other . apparently they want to take a page from a miracle on 34th street ( the original ) type film and but it be do in such a poor way that the movie fall apart . this film be for only the very young and and even they will see the fact that whoever script it know little to nothing about baseball . such a represent  when the angel be in dead last place and the owner doesn not seem to care and nor be he bother by the fact his manager just get into a fight with his pitcher on the mound or that he punch the team play by play announcer on live tv . however and when the team be one game from win the division and he get bent out of shape over a story ( source by a 6 year old ) that the manager be get help from a kid who claim to see real angel . what sound bad . a losing violent out of control manager whose team have lose 15 in a row . or a winning coach on the verge of the playoff that be act a bit eccentric and be help foster kid . the owner reaction make no sense . and he move to change his mind by maggie and her traight out of cliché land speech during a news conference .  the angel be suppose to be play for the division in the final weekend series against the white sox and however at the end of the game the announcer keep say the angel win the pennant . the pennant be not decide until someone win the league championship and not the regular season division title .  whitt bass and the goofball pitcher be the start pitcher and win the game that break the angel lose streak then be the start pitcher the very next day .  mel clark ( tony danza ) be say in the ninth inning to have throw 156 pitch and in a low scoring ballgame . typically in low score game and the pitch count be much low than this and usually around 80 90 pitch .  al the angel say at the end championship have to be win on their own and even though he and his angel have be manipulate and fix game throughout the whole second half of the season . i could go on and on and a there be many other example where the story be poorly write . for young kid ( under 10 ) and this movie may be entertain . it too bad do right this could have be a classic . do wrong like this and it a forgettable mess that will forever live a a uhf or cable saturday morning washout .
