When you open up the interwebs and allow all the world a chance to vote on something, you run the risk of getting something entirely different from what you anticipated. The NHL learned this when the hard way when little known Rory Fitzpatrick was voted into the all-star game before the NHL stepped in and doctored the votes to put a stop to it. And now the world has been given the chance to intervene once again, except this time the stakes are much higher.

The Mets have allowed the fans to vote on their new 8th inning sing-along song (why this is necessary, I have no idea). And while they have offered a few suggestions, including "Build me up buttercup," the theme song from "Friends" and Wilson Pickett's "Land of 1000 Dances," (all really unbelievable possibilities), they've also allowed for a write-in section. Well, the geniuses at Fark have started a last minute effort to carry the day with their write in candidate: Rick Astley, and his hit song "Never gonna give you up." Now I don't get involved in these grassroot movements very often, but nothing would give me more pleasure than knowing that Rick Astley was going to be cranked at deafening volumes during 81 home games in Flushing, Queens. Rick Astley and the Mets just deserve each other.
