Mostly a stupid column, but I think Simmons' no. 19 way to make sports better was pretty brilliant:
Fans get to vote on entrance music for their closers. If Detroit fans want to saddle Todd Jones with Tom Petty's "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" or Nirvana's "Rape Me," that's their choice. Also, all teams are required to use the bullpen car again. I miss the bullpen car.
The bullpen car is a nice enough idea, but obviously, I'm talking about the music. So, I know we've talked about this before, but what are your picks? Obviously, Lehr can't get enough of "Enter Sandman," and I was a big fan of Oakenfold's "Nightmare" for Sasaki. But lets stick to songs that as far as we know, no one uses. Does anyone come out to "Seven Nation Army?" Someone must, it's such an obvious choice. Since we all have closers we're pretty excited about, that's the first order of the day, coming up with a ballot of songs to vote on. While it would never fly, I nominate Technique's "Point of No Return."
But ultimately more interesting is what to make crappy closers come out to. Suggestions? What would you make Derrick Turnbow come out to this year? Or Jose Mesa or Latroy Hawkins when they were closers? Arthur Rhodes? Feel free to offer any other hillarious examples from the past you can think of.

If anyone's getting "Rape Me," it's Rudy Seanez. Is there a way that Kurt Cobain can rise from the dead and literally rape Rudy?
