So the Mets have been Rick rolled and the team's brass is refusing to admit it.
Now they're playing a different song every day this week and testing fan reaction. Last night it was "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees. We'll also hear "Livin' On a Prayer" by Bon Jovi, "Movin' Out" by Billy Joel, "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond and "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Foundations.
If we had to choose from that list, we'd be forced to pick "I'm a Believer" because at least it goes with the Mets' slogan. "Sweet Caroline" is the Red Sox song, so it's appropriate we move away from that one and "Build Me Up Buttercup" hits a little too close to home — mainly because the Mets have "just let us down" too many times.
We like the suggestion of our friends over at Mets Fan Club.com, who suggested the team play the "Curly Shuffle" each night.
Or how about this one ... we don't have an eighth inning sing along? Since when do we have to occupy every second of our time with some form of manufactured entertainment at a baseball game?
Whatever happened to watching the game?

Rick Astley now looks a lot like Bob Liepa!
