I think I have a gambling problem.

But when I take your cash, it'll make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Wearing a Johan jersey and having my picture taken doing so will make me cry.

So let's go King Cole, help a brutha out here.

Say cheese!!!

Runoff to determine Mets' new 8th inning song
The Mets will have a runoff to determine their new eighth-inning sing-along tune.

The organization received 5 million votes on its Web site after inviting fans to choose from among 10 selections to potentially replace Sweet Caroline. An issue arose, however, when FARK.com readers bombarded the Mets with gag votes for a write-in candidate: Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

The Astley tune actually won.

Rather than commit to that as the new eighth-inning tune since it probably doesn't reflect the fan base's wishes, the Mets will play the top six selections once apiece during the first six games of their home stand. The one that draws the largest crowd response will stick.

The other songs that made the cut, in descending order: Livin' on a Prayer, Bon Jovi; I'm a Believer, The Monkees; Movin' Out, Billy Joel; Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond; and Build Me Up Buttercup, The Foundations.

The Mets suggested the Fark tune winning didn't necessarily result in the runoff, saying the contest rules stipulated Internet voters would "help decide" the outcome.
