SUPER BON BON IN A WALK:
Red Sox Nation tunes in: Readers suggest songs Papelbon can close to (Matt Kalman, April 19, 2006, Boson Herald)
More than 1,100 readers e-mailed the Herald with suggestions for Papelbon’s potential new intro tune, and AC/DC was by far the most popular band.
No fewer than seven of the band’s tunes were recommended at least once, and its song “Thunderstruck” won the popularity contest by a wide margin. [...]
Ed Valauskas, bass player for local band The Gentlemen, was among several respondents who said a good choice would be “Super Bon Bon” by Soul Coughing because of the lyrics and word play.
“It’s easy: ‘Super Bon Bon’ by Soul Coughing,” wrote Tim McIntire. “Not only does it have part of Papelbon’s name in it, but the chorus says it all: ‘Move aside, and let the man roll through . . . let the man roll through.’ Combine that with a sick bass line - it’s the perfect song.”
The funny thing is, he'll be in the rotation by the end of June. Posted by Orrin Judd at April 19, 2006 8:36 AM

Hanley Ramirez looking pretty sweet for the Marlins: 1.027 ops.
That's just about double Alex Gonzalez's, for those scoring at home.

Posted by: oj at April 19, 2006 2:09 PMWhen Hanley is on the all-star team and Mr. April is on the dl come July it'll be ugly at the Fens.
Gonzalez is only slightly above avg fielding-wise, and you have to catch a helluva a lot of grounders to make up for a .528 ops, esp when the guy you're traded for has one over 1.000.
