We here at Major League Jerk are not above tooting our own horns. In fact, we’re not above anything. So when our predictions come true, we not only write a post about it, we send links to everybody we know. Earlier this week, I was bitching and moaning about the Panda’s current 6-62 streak and predicted that he would change his entrance music due to his superstitious nature. Well guess what, loyal reader, there’s a reason you trust my judgment (you do, right?). Eric Byrnes no longer enters to The Outfield’s “Use Your Love” as I so brilliantly predicted. Instead, he is relying on Van Halen’s “Jump” to get the crowd excited. Quick question, has Eric Byrnes listened to a song written after 1988? We’ve got enough music nerds on this site, I’m sure we can create him mixtape (I think I just qualified this post for a Homosexuality? tag…yup, I did.). Oh, I forgot the best part. That sumabitch hit a homerun in his second at bat of the night. His first homerun in 42 weeks*. Loyal reader, when your thirst for baseball insight is not quenched at the wells of mainstream media, remember, at Major League Jerk, the water is fine.
Update: Byrnes has a multi hit, multi RBI game. That music really did the trick. Oh, and if you think his nickname is changing just because he managed to to turn it into an 8-65 streak, you’re out of your mind. Byrnes is the Panda. The Panda is Byrnes.
