For the past month or so, I've been a little busy trying to elude Stephen Jackson and his posse.  Ever since I threw that beer on one of them in the Bada-Bing strip club, they've been tryin' to bust a cap in my (butt) and chasin' me with Cadillac Escalades.  So, needless to say, I've been a little too busy to write about sports.

Recently, I wrote an article giving songs to some of the starting pitchers of today's game.  Josh Towers, the now-demoted Oliver Perez, and the now-promoted Jered Weaver were just some of the names who were in sync with the songs I chose from my playlist.

So, we got relievers who enter the game to their choice of music.  We got some starters who had some songs hand-picked for them by me.  What about the teams?  (This time, I'll go outside my playlist for a few of the songs.)

The Yankees have a song ("Here Come the Yan-kees").  The Mets have a song ("Meet the Mets").  What about some of the other teams?  What songs can I give them?  Read on....
