NLDS Walk-up Music: Rockies Try to Stave Off Last Dance of 2009

Joe Beimel’s situational walk-up music:

To date, the results have been impressive. Last night Beimel entered the game earlier than usual, with runners in scoring position, to set the mighty Ryan Howard down on one pitch.

Another late-season bullpen acquisition by the Rockies, setup man Rafael Betancourt, packs closer-quality walk-up music, Ram Jam‘s “Black Betty.”

By leaving middle reliever Josh Fogg off the postseason roster, the Rockies will miss out on the additional fist-pumping, car jamming tuneage of “Slow Ride,” by Foghat!

The Phillies have put a dent in closer Huston Street, who uses the instrumental version of Nas‘ “Hate Me Now.” We’ve covered Nas before; the guy’s a foul-mouthed tool, and you know what I think about anyone who uses an instrumental version of a foul-mouthed song?
