I Came To Hear The Music

My season ticket partner and I have been trying to come up with theme songs for each member of the Twins. I don't mean songs that would be inspiring or fitting for each player or their style of play; rather they should be songs that the players' name can be substituted in to. Here's what we got so far:

Nick Blackburn - The Beatles "Blackbird". Blackburn pitching in the dead of night.

Livan Hernandez - Bon Jovi "Livin' On A Prayer". Whooah, we're half way there. Livan on a prayer!

Joe Mauer - Hank Williams, Sr. "Jambalaya". Midway Joe he gotta go, me oh my oh.

Mike "The Hammer" Lamb - MC Hammer "U Can't Touch This". Break It Down. Stop. Hammer time!

Matt Tolbert - The Cranberries "Zombie". He's in your head. In your head. Tolbert, Tolbert, Tolbert!!!

Carlos Gomez - Andrew Lloyd Webber - "Go, Go, Go Joseph". Go, go, go Gomez you know what they say. Go, go, go Gomez you'll make it some day.

Justin Morneau - ACDC "Thunderstruck". This is a play off of his nickname that only four or five people know.

Delmon Young - Harry Belafonte "Banana Boat". Delmon come and he want a home run.

We still have to come up with songs for Brian Bass, Jesse Crain, Matt Guerrier and the rest of the Twins so anything that Bear of Juice can do to help would be great. This plea goes to our readers as well. Suggestions can be made in the comment section.

Memo To Bill Smith

With the AL Central title available to anyone who wants to take it, I think it's time for the Twins to address some of their shortcomings; the most glaring of which, is third base. Mike Lamb is currently hitting .238/.273/.320 and it's becoming increasingly clear that he is best used as a part time player. I know that completing a trade is a lot more complicated than the average blogger would like, but maybe the Twins should take a look at this guy or this guy. Or maybe they should just call up him or him. All four of these guys should be able to put up comparable numbers to "The Hammer", with the plus side being that they might actually improve (what a novel concept). Alas, it is well known that the most important statistic for Ron Gardenhire (especially for position players) is service time, so it's hard to believe that anything is actually going to happen. After all, Mike Lamb has a track record.
