Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

2011 Intro Songs



One of the things I'm always curious about leading up to the home opener is what songs the players will have played when they come to bat.  Here are some suggestions for the 8 regulars and the guy who would be starting the home opener if healthy.

Star-divide

You'll notice I left a couple of players empty because I don't know anything about them (Jason Bartlett) or couldn't come up with a clever enough choice (Will Venable).  I'd love to hear GLB Nation's opinion on these plus any other guys on the roster.

Ryan Ludwick – Hand Me Down by The Wallflowers

“’…you never know when you’ll disappoint us again.”

 

Cameron Maybin – Summer Girls by LFO

“…chinese food makes me sick.”

 

Will Venable –

 

Chase Headley – Switch by Will Smith

(I think this should be pretty obvious)

 

Jason Bartlett –

 

Orlando Hudson – Who am I by Snoop Dogg

 

Brad Hawpe – Rocky Mountain High by John Denver

(Maybe we just need to help him pretend he’s still hitting in Coors Field)

 

Nick Hundley – Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler

(All this guy does is get clutch hits)

 

Mat Latos – Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) by The Offspring

“Friends say he’s trying too hard, and he’s not quite hip, but in his own mind, he’s the dopest trip.”

Interesting

For Venable, I’d go with Let’s Get It Started since he’s batting leadoff and he keeps runnin’ runnin’ and runnin’ runnin’.
Everytime I see Denorfia, this is the song that plays in my head, and probably his.
Cantu and his mustache merits Minnie the Moocher

Another song choice for Hudson could be #1 by Nelly.
“I am #1. No matter if you like it, just take it, sit down, and write it.”

Why ask a failed romance to come watch your successful one? You know, that's like inviting the Seattle Mariners to a World Series game. It's just weird for everyone.

...

Yes for Venable

No for Norf…I wouldn’t mind seeing this song
with the crowd shouting at the chorus. “YOU MIGHTY NORFIN POWER RANGER!”

And definitely O-dawg needs a Nelly song

Why'd you do that to me with that R. Kelly song?

That’s just cruel.

Will Venable: Will 2K by Will Smith from Willenium

Reasons are obvious

Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...

I don't know who really deserves it on the current Padres

because its foreboding intro is something that should be earned before using, but I think this would make an excellent intro for a fearsome slugger. I guess it fits Blanks well if he develops into the stud we hoped for, or Rizzo too for that matter.

this classic

as a love note to MLB and MLB analysts

LOL

They should play that when the Padres win it all and they present the bird to every fcukin’ doubter and hater out there.

Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
