Brett Myers Will Not Listen To Your Suggestions

The Phillies head home tonight for a four-game homestand against two of the teams ahead of them in the standings (Padres, 1 game up in Wild Card; Mets, 5 games up in NL East) and one team just behind ‘em, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who the Fightins play tonight.

The Phils might not play tonight if the rain keeps up, but sometime this homestand Phillies fans are likely to hear the new music of starter-turned-closer Brett Myers, which fans were able to vote for on Philly.com and… oh.

Myers thinks he has his song. He’s leaning toward P.O.D.’s “Lights Out,” which has appropriate lyrics: “It’s lights out. Game over. If you wanna, you can check my stats.”

Readers at philly.com voted that Myers should use the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” as his intro music, but Myers likes P.O.D. more. Sorry, folks.

So not only did Brett Myers not listen to your selection, but he has the musical taste of a 14-year-old.

Update: Oh, wait! (And, uh: My bad.) The song Myers wanted didn’t win the first time, so Philly.com did a second poll so the song Myers wanted could win. This is what’s known as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs Memorial Method of Allowing The Fans to “Vote,” though I should probably come up with something catchier than that. (Thanks, J.)
