Home Run Derby 2012: Matt Kemp Farts Dinger

Last year, Matt Kemp participated in the Home Run Derby and hit two home runs while being pitched to by Rob Flippo. That was the worst performance of the eight. This year, Matt Kemp participated in the Home Run Derby and hit one home run while being pitched to by Rob Flippo. That is the worst performance so far. Kemp took nine outs before he finally cleared the fence in center field, and even that one took one of the stupid shithead kids all the way back to the track before he gave up his pursuit. Matt Kemp is just the worst at this and he is also the best player on the Dodgers so I can only assume that the Dodgers are 5-80.

I don’t have anything else to say about Matt Kemp so here’s a paragraph on the geologic history of Broken Top, an extinct stratovolcano approximately 20 miles west of Bend, Oregon. Wikipedia:

Due to extensive erosion, the contents of Broken Top’s cone are exposed, and allow volcanologists to classify Broken Top as a complex stratovolcano.[4] Its initial eruptions during the Pleistocene, consisting of basaltic andesite lava, contributed to a base shield. The center of this edifice consists of agglomerate, which was oxidized, and intrusive dikes and geologic sills.[4] Erratic eruptions continued afterward, erupting silicic lava. Much of the current cone is occupied by flows of andesite, dacite, rhyodacite, and pyroclastic flows; these deposits extending from the subordinate volcano to the summit.[4] The volcanic crater, now 0.8 km, was most likely subsidized.
