- Will Ferrell joins the broadcast booth. It’s 6:10 and this is officially no longer about baseball. This is like the Deadspin of sporting events. Music playing over the PA while Hanley takes his hacks: Walk It Out. Get it? He’s lazy! David Eckstein would take his hacks to Run It.
- Five homers and three outs for Hanley so far, as he’s hit the ball deep everywhere. It’s like he was saving up all his strength just for this. Which I bet he did, because in the Home Run Derby the spotlight is on the individual player, and Hanley is all about himself over his team. Because he’s lazy and selfish! I hear Hanley Ramirez invented direct deposit.
- Chris Berman asks for Will Ferrell’s impression of Harry Caray. Ferrell complies. This broadcast is as Now as Chris Berman. Chris Berman expresses shock and awe at every single home run. He’s either a child, limited by a terrible short-term memory, or he’s the world’s most convincing liar. WOW! A HOME RUN! HE HIT THAT BALL TO POUGHKEEPSIE!
Thoughts On Hanley Ramirez’s First Round In The 2010 Home Run Derby
Ferrell ends his set by saying “and nobody knows this, but Hanley Ramirez is 47 years old.” Always leave your audience with something unfunny and nonsensical.
