Get used to hearing more about the Blue Jays


I know I'm likely to bore the shit out of a lot of you, but I'm going to use something DC said duirng last night's Jays-Sox game to hopefully try and convince some of you that they are worthwhile subject matter:

"Man, there must be a lot of rock getting played in the clubhouse!"

This observation came after we've all been to a few games this year, and have started to notice the music they play just before everyone's at-bats. Turns out apart from Vernon Wells with his uber-egotistical "Oh, I think they like me" by Dem Franchise Boys, and Bengie "I might not be able to beat a glacier in a foot race" Molina's unintelligible salsa music of some sort, the remaining regulars (of which there are 12, what with a couple of platoons in the OF and another at SS) all play some kind of heavy rock when they come to the plate. Some highlights:

Troy Glaus: "Crazy Train" (the laugh and opening riff, in particular)
Shea Hillenbrand: Audioslave's "Cochise"
Lyle Overbay: "Jeremy"
[and my favourite, that actually made me like him more as a player....]
Frank Catalanotto: Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" (mostly the primal scream part)

Also, when B.J. Ryan comes into the game, they have his name in flames on all the scoreboards, and a pretty decent track that I haven't been able to place as of yet... but really, I think that if he entered to Metallica's "Fuel" with opening line "Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire" and the exploding guitars that follow it just as he runs through the bull-pen door (which he does already), it would give a tremendous effect. Maybe not Mariano Rivera's "Enter Sandman" entrance at Yankee Stadium, but it'd be damned cool...

Just a thought...
