Analyzing over stats, trends and pie charts in an effort to predict baseball’s playoff winners? Well stop, because while that might be a more accurate way to go, it certainly isn’t more fun.
Shoutmouth.com went the unconventional route in determining which teams would win their respective divisional series: by comparing what closers had the better theme song.
Mariano Rivera – New York Yankees – “Enter Sandman” by Metallica vs. Joe Borowski – Cleveland Indians – Various
Verdict: While Rivera’s “Sandman” is intimidating and he is an originator of the entrance song art form, Borowski’s odd song behavior is unpredictable and downright scary (and there’s more on him to come). There’s something weird and it don’t look good…
Winner: Cleveland
What’s more important in trying to predict the winner of a playoff baseball game? The match up between Vladimir Guerrero and Josh Beckett, or F-Rod’s “Sandungueoso” theme music vs. Jonathan Papelbon’s “I’m Shipping Up to Boston”? The choice is an easy one when you really think about it.
