Finally, some real news
It was a pretty slow offseason for the New York Mets. Spring Training has been fun, but soon we'll have forgotten all about Shawn Green's hot streak and the Aaron Sele experiment. In short, the wait for Opening Day, for actual baseball, has been interminable. But now, at long last, something important has happened.
If you follow the link above you will see that mets.com is conducting a poll, the results of which will determine what songs are played when David Wright comes to bat this season. There are some quality options on the list ("Seven Nation Army," "Superstition," both Led Zeppelin songs) but as usual the folks at mlb.com have failed to dig deep enough to find the truth. There is only one correct answer to this poll and it is not on the list. Thankfully, there is a box labeled "Write-In Suggestion."
When David Wright is striding to the plate with the game on the line, there is only one song capable of accompanying the moment. Two down, bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, down by three--only one song can properly enhance the drama. Only one classic piece of music can infuse David Wright with the edge necessary to carry the Mets to victory.
As you can see, we have some work to do. The average Mets fan who votes in this poll will no doubt feel satisfied choosing from the provided options. This makes it all the more important that we, the hardcore, internet-savvy Mets fan community, flood the voting tube with write-ins. We must all do our part. I want to you stop what you're doing right now, click on the above link and vote. Then I want you to do it again tomorrow. Or two hours from how. Or five minutes from now. Just put your cursor in that box and enter the four simple words (and one simple hyphen) that will carry the Mets to October.

Consider it done. Though let it be known that if "That Was a Crazy Game of Poker" by OAR wins, I may be forced to watch every Mets game this season on mute. Or at least press mute each time David Wright comes to bat.
