HITSVILLE, USA- Does everyone remember a couple of years back when Billy Wagner joined the Mets and all of the subsequent hubbub that arose surrounding his use of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” as his song whenever he entered a game? New York sports talk radio could not get enough of this topic, as irate Yankees fans were up in arms because that was also Mariano Rivera’s tune. (And, as everyone knew, Mo was a Metallica fan from way back.) Anyway, as far as controversies go, that one was colossally lame. Besides, anyone with half a brain recognized that Trevor Hoffman’s “Hell’s Bells” had them both beat. Still, a fun part of the ballpark experience these days is listening to the songs that are played as various players step into the batter’s box or come in to pitch. Some players leave their song choice up to the stadium deejay, but for others it is a personal choice as important as their brand of bat or pre-game meal. Most players change their play list up from season to season yet others remain loyal to one or two favorites. Carlos Beltran, for example, has been using “El Esta Aqui” (apparently a Christian-influenced song) seemingly since he’s been a Met. However, David Wright, long a Beastie Boys “Brass Monkey” man, once asked fans for their input and now uses a variety of songs. How powerful can a personal music selection be? Well, even favorite whipping boy Aaron Heilman accrued the slightest bit of goodwill points from yours truly (which have long since expired, incidentally) for using The Clash’s “London Calling” on more than one occasion. While I toyed with the idea of asking everyone to come up with appropriate and inappropriate song selections for favorite and hated players alike, I didn’t want to risk repeated “You’re So Vain” votes for A-Rod and Randy Levine suggesting “It’s Raining Men” for just about everyone. Instead, what I want to know is what songs those of you out there in Meet the Mattsville would use for your own at-bat and/or relief appearance jog in from the bullpen. I’ll get it started: For my at-bats, I think I’ll go with Jerry Reed’s “When You’re Hot You’re Hot,” since they can easily play the next line “When you’re not you’re not,” when I’m in a slump. For my relief appearances, I’ll go with “Lawyers, Guns, and Money” by Warren Zevon, cuz if they are calling on me, the s*** really has hit the fan. OK, what about the rest of you?

| Angry Wardette & Cookie: How about you two using Girls Just Want to Have Fun? I'd go with the Rocky theme. And Cookie, Ive been defending Clemens but to say that about the country singer is just dimb and naive. Petttitte killed Clemens and the only person sticking up for him is Canseco. He's been revealed as a ___off. |

| Generally im a very optimistic person but the way Beltran is, "PERFORMING" he should get up to bat with "Hotel California" playing then maybe he might actually do something, rather thenground out, pop out, fly out, our or my personal favorite STRIKEOUT! xp |
