Fueling the Home Run Derby

(Cutie-pie, defending Home Run Champ and Phils’ first baseman,
Ryan Howard)

It’s Monday. It’s hot. Work sucks. And you might still be hung over from those home-made margs 80 Proof has been bragging about. But I have two things to cheer you up: the Home Run Derby (ESPN, 8pm) and a great snack to go with.
