At Bat / Warm Up Songs
*Note, these aren't the actual songs, just songs that make me think of certain players, not even I know why
Pat Neshek...............................................Freak on a Leash by Korn. This is a running joke with my friends, I had a few over watching a Twins game last season and one of my friends doesn't like baseball so she asked, "Who's that freak?" when she saw Neshek's delivery. Plus he likes metal so it's a win-win.
Joe Mauer.................................................What You Know by T.I. Honestly, if you don't know why, stop reading. You are banished from my post.
Francisco Liriano....................................Magic by B.o.B. featuring Rivers Cuomo. They played this last year while he was pitching, and I don't know why it just stuck with me.
Danny Valencia.......................................Rock Star by Nickelback. This one simply has no explaination. I don't know why, but for some reason this just seems like a song I'd like to hear as an at bat song and so I decided D. Val gets it. Also I read on his Twitter that a twin cities group might make him a song for this season, so that could be the actual song.
Justin Morneau........................................I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. For those of you who have lived in a hole for since July, Justin Morneau had this major cuncussion and hasn't played since. Doesn't that mean he probably doesn't want to miss a thing this season?
Joe Nathan................................................Copy and paste Justin Morneau's song and explanation. Delete "July, - concussion" and replace with "last season's spring training, Joe Nathan had to have Tommy John surgery"
Jose Mijares.............................................The Gummy Bear Song. Youtube it. 'Nuf said.
Kevin Slowey............................................Slow Ride by Foghat. Cheesy, I know, but it's my nickname for him. I also call him KKKK-Slow but there isn't a song called that, now is there?
Drew Butera.............................................Dynamite by Taio Cruz. "I'm wearin' all my favorite brands" is in the first verse, and anyone who has watched his interview from Twins Fest will understand. For those who haven't seen it, he breaks down his outfit to the reporter. Imma Be by The Black Eyed Peas was also a great at bat song, but it belongs to someone with more promise.
Tsuyoshi Nishioka.................................Imma Be by The Black Eyed Peas. He (hopefully) has the promise that Drew Butera lacks, and it's hard to find a song in Japanese!
Other awesome songs that I would love to see someone walk up to, but I don't know who.
Born for This by Paramore
Not Afraid by Eminem
Ridin' Solo by Jason Derulo (This song works best for sluggers when they come to bat with the bases empty... Get it?)
The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls
On Top of the World by Boys Like Girls
Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz

Good job on your first fan post, I hope to see some more from you in the future.
But this is what you came up for music? You need to find some better music to listen too. lol Ha sorry, most of the bands artrists you listed I have never heard of. Korn isn’t real metal, and Aerosmith is alright. Other than that…. You’ve lost me.

haha.
Pegging you (Twinsgirl) as hmmm… 19 years old. Do I win?
Not saying it in a bad way, as I like a lot of these songs as they are my generation as well..
I think it was more like 13...
…so I’m just appreciative that there’s no Bieber on the list, although I don’t think I’m supposed to post here since I have absolutely no idea what some TI song has to do with Joe Mauer.

You are right!
I am 13. And no way would I have Beiber (barfs in mouth) Mauer’s favorite rapper is TI and he has used it as his at bat song before

Nathan
As much as I like “Boom Boom Boom Boom”, I’ve always wanted Nathan to change it to Muddy Waters’ “I’m Ready”:
“I got an ax-handle pistol on a graveyeard frame,
That shoots tombstone bullets wearin’ balls and chains,
I’m drinkin’ TNT,
I’m smokin’ Dynamite,
I hope some school boy wants to start a fight
Because I’m ready,
I’m ready’s anybody can be.
I am ready for you,
I hope you ready for me.”
"You're thinking too much. Just have fun." -- Bennie "The Jet" Rodriguez in Sandlot
I like it:)

I actually get understand all the music there that she's listed
I love the Magic in Me song by B.o.b. although maybe gettin a little old
I like your work here/ like what you’ve already got done
I would add a few more rock/ metal tracks to some guys
Especially Matt Capps, and Carl Pavano
What about Jim Thome…. Jimmers smashin taters hmmmmm
I called it - Joe Mauer's first career Home-Run at Target Field !!!
"Matt Millen ran Barry Sanders out of town he Drove the Lions into the ground
and now he acts as if he is a know it all NFL analyst" -favre

I couldn't think
Of an awesome enough song for Thome, nothing screamed Pavano or Capps at me either

Nice work!
I love the Ridin Solo idea – I’d give it to Thome or Kubes :)
Thanks:)
I don’t know though, I couldn’t see Thome playing that song, not sure about Kubes. And how about Billionaire by Travie McCoy for LNP? I know he’s not a Twin anymore but it fits the whole “get money get paid” thing lol
