ok, so we have been figuring out the proper books for various players, and that has been a blast. But it got me to thinking, which songs would match various players?
There are of course easy ones of course, such as:
Wild Thing - Mitch Williams
Money For Nothing and the Chicks For Free - Mark Prior
I Think I'm Alone Now - Ryan Freel
Dont Come Around Here No More - Milton Bradley
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Lou Pineilla
and away we go

+1 Springsteen reference
and scantily clad women reference.
"Keep pushin till it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good."
I always liked "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams.
Even though it has nothing to do with baseball, it always makes me think of the Cubs.
"Don't complain to me about the stormy weather, boys. Just bring the ship into port." --Steve Stone, September 2004
Funny, it always made me think of
how much I dislike Bryan Adams music.

Most of it, I agree.
But I like that song.
"Don't complain to me about the stormy weather, boys. Just bring the ship into port." --Steve Stone, September 2004
That song is torture.
I remember going over to my friends’ place when I was about ten years old and their older brother told me to come into his room and he locked the door and turned the stereo up and played this song, all the while smiling at me and nodding along.
I was scarred for life.
"Keep pushin till it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good."

Hold down the alt key while pressing 13 and then 14 on the number keyboard.
I can’t do this on my laptop where the numbers are only above the letters though.

Did “I Ran”
Both equally cheesy 80’s songs
"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me." ~ Leo Durocher
Just because you love them doesn't mean they're not cheesy
Go Cubs Go is cheesy. It’s one of my favorite songs
Cheesy isn’t always bad
For instance:
"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me." ~ Leo Durocher
I'd rather clog the bases than my arteries, but that does look tasty.
How’s this for cheese.
"Fasten those seatbelts"-Pat Hughes
Won't work at work :(
I’ll check it out when I get home
That looks so good though :)

For all Cubs fans:
“The Waiting” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

True
It is the hardest part

Think Ive got a winner here:
Milton Bradley – “Man In The Mirror”

Dude Looks Like a Lady
Sammy Sosa
Some men learn through what they read. Some men learn through what they're told. Some men have to piss on the railroad tracks. And some men keep on pissin'.
Some
First I always listen to Here Comes the Sun on the morning of opening day two lines in the song fit so perfectly – It’s been a long long lonely winter and the other line the smiles returning to their faces.
A song that tells the story of a great season “These Are the Days” by Van Morrison. That was used in one of the 2 videos in 1989. The most perfect line being “The fires of spring are kindling bright”
IF we were to win the pennant a great song would be “Here’s to the WInners” by Frank Sinatra because of the line “Here’s to the glory still to be”
ANd if you listen to the words of We are the Champions the day we win it all it is even more perfect. “I’ve paid my dues, time after time. I’ve done my sentence but commited no crime” could be the fans singing
For some reason Canadian Idiot by Weird Al always makes me think of Ryan Dempster.
When MAddux won his 300th I made a video to LIke A Rock that a lot of people liked.
Of course sorry Texas Longhorn fans but I always associate The Eyes of Texas with Kerry Wood.
There is a song called “Mr. Lee Mr. Lee”
I heard people say When You Wish Upon a Star is a great song for the Cubs but I prefer “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes”
The song “Angel” by Sarah MCLaughlin seems haunting when played at the end of a playoff series loss.
Holding out for A Hero maybe for Starlin Castro or the prospect that puts us over the top. I may want to keep away from that because i made a video of Jay Cutler’s arrival to that song and well we know how that’s turned out so far.
Me and You A Two Man Crew from Snoopy Come home for Lee & Ramirez when they’re both hot.
I always thought I’m too Sexy was a good song for Grace.
And I love the man but Weird Al’s White and Nerdy might fit Greg Maddux.
2/18/2010 B&B become a We
how about
the night chicago died. i remember news outlets playing that after the embarrasing loss to the marlins in 03.
"Movin' On Up" (The Jeffersons Theme Song)
For Ryne Sandberg…hopefully sooner than we think.
