Jonathan Papelbon Needs New Music

With Jonathan Papelbon having agreed to make make the nearly six hour trip on I-95 from BeanTown to Philly...it's pretty safe to say that he'll kick his entrance music to the curb right?

You see, for the past three seasons, the newly minted Philadelphia Phillies closer has been using "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys every time he heads to the mound.

So, now that the Boston Red Sox are in his rearview mirror (to the tune of  nearly $50 million), I'm curious...what might the enigmatic closer use when he trots to the hill at Citizens Bank Park?

Do you go with an old school Philly local?

"Night Songs"
Cinderella


"Brand New Funk"
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince


Or do you go with a song that has Philadelphia in its title?

"Streets of Philadelphia"
Bruce Springsteen


"Philadelphia Freedom"
Elton John


Maybe you like something from the popular TV show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"?

"Going Back to Philly"


Or, rather...do you go with the obvious?

"Gonna Fly Now" (the theme from "Rocky")
Bill Conti


What do I think?

I've gotta go with a mix of all of the above (kinda)...Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger".

Sure, they're not from Philadelphia, the city isn't in the title...but, c'mon, when you hear the song all you can think about is one of the Philly's most iconic characters.


What do you think? What should Jonathan Papelbon use as his entrance music this upcoming season?

Johnny Damon Supports Former Teammate; Eyes Return to Tampa

I guess this is what happens when boring teams (yes, I said it) make the postseason.

I mean, no disrespect to the four teams still alive, but it seems that without the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox involved...people are scrambling to find news.

The other day, the interwebs were buzzing with news that Jonathan Papelbon was (gasp!) partying in New Orleans with some friends.

And I know what you're thinking...who cares? 

Apparently the Thirty Mile Zone does.  So much so, they asked the Boston closer's former teammate Johnny Damon about it as he walked the streets of Hollywood Tuesday night.

But...his take on the Papelbon (non) controversy isn't what I found interesting.

Watch!
