Off Day Fun (I Hope)

Now, I know we're all too "old" for this kind of thing, or shouldn't be worried about such superficialities during a tense playoff run, but I'll try this anyway. Besides, it's raining so much that nobody is coming into my place of employment, so here goes...

If you were on the Sox, what song would you have them play as you came up to bat? Or do you have better suggestions for any of the guys on our team? Remember that they only play about the first twenty seconds of it.

Chorus

Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

My intro

Would be Big Country's 'Tall Ships Go'. Great guitar for about ten seconds and then thunderous drums. Good stuff.

Great question

If I were a relief pitcher, I'd want my song to be "Only in Dreams" by Weezer.

Now hear me out. I'd come out from the bullpen and cross the outfield to the slow and steady bass grove, take the mound as starts to build, and by the time the song was in full swing I'd have finished my last warm-up pitch. An odd choice and my friends all disagree (I've actually talked about this before), but I always hum it out when I'm at a game and relief comes in and in my mind it would be cool as hell.

Otherwise, if I were a regular position player, I'd have to go with "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by the Stones. Great, rowdy, loud intro, and I suppose the lyrics could almost even be misconstrued to be about baseball....kinda.

That works!

While Big Bobby's "Here Comes The Boom", or whatever it's really called, fits the occassion, it's just not the kind of music I like. So it's good to see a varity of music styles. And how could anyone think that "only in dreams" doesn't fit the occassion?
