If He Was A Closer...
"I personally love closers. As you guys know I'm a big fan of the Red Sox and so I love Jonathan Pappelbon. There's something about when a closer runs outta that bullpen to his song and puts the other team to bed that night. I like the mentality of one guy being your ninth inning guy as opposed to the closer-by-committee approach for different situations. Sometimes I think about what it would be like to be a closer, to come in and just end this game. That would be a dream for me, 'cause I'm a big emotion guy and I'd love to have that responsibility to my team and my city.
I've thought about it, and my song would be "Closing Time" by that group Semisonic. You know the one: Closing Tiiiiiiiime. Except I'd just have that loop over and over again "Closing Tiiiiiiime, Closing Tiiiiiiiime" while I came in from the bullpen. And I wouldn't run to the mound; I'd walk just to soak it all in. And for the away games it wouldn't matter that I didn't get to hear my song because I'd hear all the fans booing me and that would be enough to get me going."
