Axford opens selection of entrance music to Brewers fans

Share

The opening of the Major League Baseball season is about five weeks away and Brewers closer John Axford has yet to choose his entrance music for the ninth inning at Miller Park.
Well, to be clear, he has narrowed it down to 15 songs and left the rest up to the fans to help him pick the one he will use as early as April 4 at Miller Park.
He made the announcement on his Twitter and Facebook pages and posted a poll, equipped with links to all 15 songs on his Facebook page. Be sure to check out all 15 of the choices and vote for yourself. This is a full democracy!
I went through all 15 songs and tried to imagine them raining over Miller Park for the ninth inning with the game on the line and came down to my Top 5. I weighed song title and open of the song as to how it would be received by the fans when the mustached man makes his entrance from the bullpen. I'll start you down from No. 5 to the one I voted for.

5. Rush "Working Man" The title says it all and I like the guitar riff at the start. Rush is always a good choice.


4. Audioslave "Cochise" This one starts out so strong and would be an absolute banger at the Cathedral. Pretty badass for a closer because of how it builds up to the open.


3. Omen "The Axeman" Umm, doesn't the title say enough? He IS the Axeman. I wouldn't be upset if this won.


2. Metallica "For Whom the Bell Tolls" Pretty sure this is an obvious choice given what Trevor meant to the development to John last year when he took over the roll. The only thing I could see against this would be that he wouldn't want to ride Trevor's coat tails and would want to move on to something fresh.


**My Pick**
1. Linkin Park "No More Sorrow" I love the buildup this song has and can totally see John trotting in from the pen and the place absolutely going nuts. And of course, he has no sorrow for those left in his path in earning save after save as the team rolls.


Going to move right into the Nussie Hunter portion of the broadcast and introduce you to Gemma Merna. I've never heard of the show Hollyoaks, but I guess she's good in it. Well, the one thing I do know is she looks damn good in her underwear in the latest Loaded Magazine. Take a look for yourself with these and the sample below.
