Ferrell has been getting into all kind sof antics at different sporting events in the lead up to his newest film. But clearly it won't get much better than him being traded away for a diabetes-inducing churro dog.
Aside from Game 1 ending after a record-setting 14 innings, Fox News had some "technical difficulties" and there was a mysterious lady in a fur hat sitting behind home plate that stole everyone's attention.

Last night, a hacker found his or her way into the social media accounts of at least nine different Major League Baseball Teams, posting status updates and tweets that ranged from the crude to the (admittedly) hilarious. Curse you, illegal criminal of cyberspace, for making me laugh!
All teams have since deleted the offending posts. The Chicago Cubs even followed up with the tweet: "For the record, the #Cubs are big fans of Bill Murray. #NotHacked."
The hacker is still at large (watch out, NHL!)
Update: Deadspin reports that the MLB Facebook and Twitter accounts were not hacked, but were instead at the mercy of a rogue employee working for the "Advanced Media" arm of the MLB (which collectively manages all its teams' online presence).
The posts may have been an inside joke and not meant for public eyes, but Deadspin also notes that employees working for the social media arm of the MLB are grievously underpaid.
Since when did horrific demons flood the fields of MLB video games? Whatever it takes to keep baseball interesting, I guess. I'll be the first to say that we should keep the game glitches within the humorous spectrum. Could do without the nightmare juice here.
What's the douchenozzle A-Rod contemplating in this pic? His own profoundly overdeveloped vanity? Maybe he's trying to figure out where it all went wrong. Perhaps sometime when he teed himself up for a good 'ol fashioned meme-inspired whipping. The guy is almost too easy to make fun of at this point in the game, and the fact his self-awareness would seem to be at an all time low, promises the likely prospect we'll be seeing more of these gems pop up. One can hope.

Astrophysicist extraordinaire Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted this stunningly astute observation and others during last night's Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
Brewers Pitcher Matt Garza went and lobbed a supremely controversial mansplanation when he aimed to explain to actress Jessica Chastain on Twitter, what his opinion of birth control was. This followed after she tweeted concerns over the implications of the Senate repealing Obamacare on women having access to birth control.
