Why I'm Watching Home Run Derby . . .

. . . is beyond me. I guess it's just ambient noise as Kelly and I try to get some work done. But even though I'm not really paying attention to it, I can't stand listening to Chris Berman do play-by-play of anything. So Dan Patrick is leaving ESPN and Berman's still there? We live in an unjust world.

The worst part about Berman doing the home-run derby is that you know he pulls the same crap every year.  That's why I offer you:
