Anyone watch the home run derby last night on ESPN? Curt Schilling was sitting with the announcers and was chatting with them during Sammy Sosa’s post at-bat interview. Sammy was being very sarcastic in his remarks, then Schilling says “He’s gotta say it–‘Baseball been berry, berry good to me’!” They cut back to the announcer’s table and you can see Chris Berman giving him a “SHH!” and shaking his head.

Comedy gold!

I saw it. I thought it was incredibly tasteless.

Hmmmmm…now I’m feeling slightly less bad about Philly trading Schilling…(“Oh, yeah, we don’t need a 300K pitcher…he’s getting tired…”)

Who gives shit? Sosa has made the exact same SNL reference in an interview. I think Schilling is pretty damn funny myself…
