A couple of weeks ago I started a new feature at the Hard Rock Nights blog called “New Song Smackdown,” pitting new hard rock songs against each other.

I’ve never been a Marlins fan. Or the Rockies, Diamondbacks, or Devil Rays. To me, they are not real teams. Nothing against Floridians, I just hate expansion. I think it has diluted the talent pool and has decreased the quality of play in the major leagues.
