Geeez, is there anything more boring than Home Run Derby?

I was channel surfing it last night and came upon it. Watched for two minutes and went away.

Two hours later I landed on the same channel.

Same stuff, different hitters.

Even the idiot Chris Berman ran out of things to say. I guess after five million times saying, "back back back back back," it gets old, even for him.

They have got to do something better.

And I say this as a baseball fan.

To answer your first question, "Yes. Nine innings of baseball."
