Kip Visits Wrigley

The great thing* about Fox taking over baseball on Saturdays (other than that awesome pitcher cam, where they zoom in real tight on the ball inside the pitcher’s glove, so you can watch his grip adjustments and see his delivery) is that they get players to deliver the starting lineups for the teams.

Today, it was Rich Hill’s turn to do the lineup for the Cubs, and he decided to speak the entire thing in character as Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. It was pretty sweet.

video has since been deleted

* I am still pissed, though, that every Saturday, FOX’s games nullify my MLB Extra Innings package, and I only get to see one of the 4 or 5 games they’re choosing to broadcast. BOO!

    That’s friggin awesome. He never even wavered once while do it.

    I wonder where LaFawnda was.

    Don’t be jealous that I’ve been chatting online with babes all day.

    This is pretty much the (not) worst video ever made.

    I pretty much love you for posting this.

    Well, I pretty much love your blog, so we’ll call it even.

    I was watching the game yesterday when that came on, and I lept over to the remote to record it on TiVo for just this reason. I figured Cubs fans, if no one else, would find it hilarious.

    Thanks for the clip. My problem is that it’s on that AOL UnCut thing and they make it really hard to download a personal copy of the file. I just want to archive it because MLB has a tendency to take down “unauthorized video”

    Pssst, Molly.

    Thanks Texas. But I tried that already. The problem is that in the source text of your page then the uncut number they provide doesn’t pull up anything. I guess I’m just can’t figure out why grabbing stuff from AOL uncut is so much more difficult than YouTube.

    I like Rich Hill enough that I’ll keep trying though. Thanks for the help and thanks for the great site you provide.

    Shoot me an email, Molly.

    I use UnCut because YouTube degrades the video quality SEVERELY. And that bugs me.

    Got it Texas. After some detective work I found your name on uncut. I really appreciate you grabbing this clip for us.
