Batting Music Revised

We're one home weekend series away from the All-Star break, so let's revisit (and revise) our initial batting music suggestions from prior to the season kicking off:

1. Dick Weeks - Any thing by the Southern University Marching Band.
Braun informs us on WKTI on Thursday mornings that Dick is one of the only single guys on the team without a wife or girlfriend and he belted ringing doubles, triples and dingers at Southern while presumably faring better with the ladies in those days. What? Why wouldn't a girl want to date a dude hitting .467? But now, losers date guys batting .217. Maybe this will get him back in his Southern U. mindset and he'll start hitting like that too.


2. J.J. Hardy - LFO - Summer Girls
Count how many Hardy jersey T's you see on females at Miller Park. Yeah.


3. Ryan Braun - Young Jeezy - Go Getta
What? You thought I'd change this? He's an All-Star folks. An All-Star from Ball U.


4. Prince Fielder - The Notorious B.I.G. - Mo Money Mo Problems
First of all, yes, this song is actually by Biggie, not Puff Daddy. And secondly, yes, he used to be called Puff Daddy, not Puffy and not P. Diddy and not Diddy. There's your history lesson kids. Maybe coming to the plate to this lick will remind the big fella to play ball and mash instead of being a big frump about not getting mo money.


5. Corey Hart - Kid Rock - All Summer Long
Please see Ryan Braun, he's an All-Star, so stick with the song he currently has. Plus I happen to like it. But isn't Jon Corey from Kentucky, not Alabama? Kind of dissing his home state. Oh well, if I was from Minnesota I would choose something by The Gufs, not Soul Asylum.


6. Russell Branyan - DVDA - Now You're a Man
3TO whacks epic dongs. That's man stuff. Teach your boy to be a man by feeding him 3TO game tape.


6. Bill Hall - Rihanna - Hate That I Love You
Admit it Brewers fans, you're ashamed that after Billy's recent murdering of lefties that you still have a soft spot in your heart for him. Then you remember him slaying the Reds and that leads to dreams of pink bats.


7. Mike Cameron - Clarence Carter - Strokin'
Someone in a baseball lineup needs to come up to this lick.


8. Jason Kendall - Goldfinger - Superman
Remember when Johnny "slow turd" Estrada was the handler of our pitching staff? Done? Now think about that again and try to get yourself to believe that CC Sabathia would be saying great things about this town.


We'll do the bench players and pitchers over the next few days. Good weekend posts.
