SNL Spoofs Empty Orioles-White Sox Game

Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox played baseball in front of an empty Camden Yards due to the riots right outside the stadium.

Saturday, the uncomfortable broadcast was mocked on “Saturday Night Live”.

Basically, it was Jim Palmer (Taran Killam) and Frank Robinson (Kenan Thompson) attempting to maintain normalcy while it was anything but normal right outside the gates. All in all, a pretty fun sketch…even if the Hall of Fame duo isn’t the Orioles broadcast team.

Best Line – “Baltimore has just been on fire this week.”

Best Bit – Bobby Moynihan as a hot dog vendor. Then again, I’m a sucker for anything Moynihan does.

Here’s the rest of the sketch. Enjoy.
