So the Home Run Derby (which I can't even watch anymore, seeing as how I can't stand Berman)...

Man, I second that! I can't stand the guy. All that back back back back shit and those jackass nicknames he gives everyone. Berman is all about Berman.

I watched the derby last night - for a while. I gave up when Berman did his way over the top call for one of the home runs - dude, we get it, it's a home run, that's what they're here to hit - they're being served up meatballs specifically so they can hit them really far, for charity - let up on the espresso.

Anyway, this particular HR went deep into left field and he said something along the lines of "that one is waaaaay out of here, it's going all the way to San Juan Capistrano!!".

Really Chris? - it's going to circumnavigate the planet until it ends up in a city south of the ball park?!!

As far as your curse is concerned. I don't know how much faith I put in it. Some guys opt out saying it jacks their swing for the real games afterwards, but that seems to be the exception, not the rule.
