Since Danny Mac and Harry are quick to tie sports to music, I think it's natural to throw this out there...

I've had enough of "Don't Stop Believin" and I'm glad the White Sox marketing department rolled out the 'blackout' theme on Tuesday (even though the players didn't get the memo apparently).

What should be the Sox 'mantra' song as they make their latest World Series run?

Blackout by Klaus Meine, Rudy Schenker and the Scorpions
Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones
Back in Black by AC/DC
Black Dog (as in underdog) by Led Zeppelin

Although I'm a ginormous Scorpions fan, the natural choice would be Back in Black, since the Southsiders are indeed 'back' - and they open home games with AC/DC already - with Thunderstruck.

What a magical game last night. Danks coming up huge. Thome did what Thome does best. Griffey with the awesome throw, followed by AJ with the dagger. Grif doubles, Anderson pinch runs, Anderson makes a textbook diving catch to end the game. And although it wasn't that difficult of a play, it was good to see Swisher in defensively to make the 2nd to last out of the game. Even Jenks did a stellar job in the 9th (that sweaty, jittery big boy makes me nervous at times).

What a great day to be a Chicago baseball fan. Both teams in the playoffs for the first time in 102 years. Bruce Levine is probably having a deja vu experience.

Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden

no serious I would say Back in Black .
It is tough and rocks and is an uplifting song .Crank it !!!!!

"give it up" by kc and the sunshine band?

That's my choice. It's nice and fast paced to start a game.

I see a Red Sox and I want to paint it Bla-ack!

I'm realizing more and more how much I don't like the Stones. That song drives me up the wall. Other than a select few songs(Brown Sugar, Gimmie Shelter, Honky Tonk Woman) they're dead to me. I'm no sox fan, but Back in Black is an obvious winner here.

plus it links perfectly with the continued bastardization of Thunderstruck.

I'm thinkng outside the box here. I think Black Rain by Dark Lotus. Or, since no one gives them a chance (fuck you Woody Paige!) Fuck The World by ICP seems appropos.

Love the riff from Ram Jam's Black Betty, but Doug these songs just don't apply to a team of men, especially if you want them to do well.

Hell, how about getting a mascot named [url=mymomsfuckingblackzilla.com]Blackzilla[/url] so Sox fans can introduce themselves to the man making their mom's happy.

this thread makes me feel...uncomfortable.
