The Dugout: Getting to Know a Black Guy ... and a White Guy

Carl Crawford signed with the Boston Red Sox earlier this month, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that the guys at ESPN Boston conducted and put up one of the weirdest and least informative interviews ever.

If you sat me down in a room with Carl Crawford and told me to come up with fifteen questions I probably couldn't do any better. I'd ask him if it is good or not to be a baseball player and if he likes playing baseball. But that's why I do a stupid comic on the Internet instead of putting "journalist" under my name in capital letters. With questions like "which base is hardest to steal," it makes me wonder if maybe I DID give this interview. Carl, what is your favorite color?

And then for absolutely no reason Jacoby Ellsbury gets interviewed as well. I don't know if he was walking by and they didn't want to make him feel bad or what. The hook is that they both run fast. Okay! The hook is that they are both baseball players. Go!

Today's Dugout follows.

ESPNBoston: no, I want you to answer them like the most stereotypically black guy of all time
ESPNBoston: but not just a black guy, my specific vision of what a black man is, which means you are dumb as a brick and obsessed with the show "Martin"
