ESPN’s fantasy know-it-all, Matthew Berry, joined the guys from 12 Angry Mascots before the MLB season to give his draft advice. Berry approached the interview and fantasy baseball drafts from a comedic angle while laying out his reasons for avoiding Albert Pujols, Hanley Ramirez, and Ryan Braun.
You know who was pissed of by Berry’s performance? Artie Lange. He was hoping to get some solid fantasy advice but instead had to settle for the Talented Mr. Roto cracking on every guy he was considering.
If you can’t watch the interview, here’s what you missed:
Berry says pass on Albert Pujols because when Pujols crushed the famous Brad Lidge pitch (and the fans in Minute Maid Park) in the 2005 NLCS, Albert rounded the bases with a “Fuck Berry” look on his face.
Berry says pass on Hanley Ramirez because he’s an asshole.
Berry says pass on Ryan Braun because his nickname should be changed from “The Hebrew Hammer” to “The Kosher Cockblock”. Braun allegedly blocked on Mr. Roto at temple back in the day.
It’s clear the face of TWWL’s fantasy department was doing this strictly for laughs, and the crowd sounded like they were into the interview. And the post-interview interview.
