There is a new closing song for the Red Sox closer 04.14.12 at 8:33 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

Alfredo Aceves

The days of  ”Shipping Up To Boston” are officially done.

In his first ninth inning appearance this season at Fenway Park as the Red Sox closer, Alfredo Aceves broke out his introduction song. It is fair to say that the selection won’t be confused with diddy by the Dropkick Murphy used by Jonathan Papelbon.

And the winner is …

“Iberia Sumergida” by Héroes del Silencio.

Aceves explained after the game he picked the song due to his fondness for the artists who sing it. The pitcher also explained that while he went through about 10 songs last year, he plans on sticking with this one.

    Sounds like something from a bad western. Yikes.

  • Hesher

    Oh good, glad they let us know what music he will be coming out too for now on, since song choice could make or break a season.

  • alfredofan

    I actually like this. And I’m an old white lady.

  • Elaine Apthorp

    Hot song!

  • PATSOX

    I still think Morales should be the closer. He has closer stuff, filthy.

  • Rivrraid

    at least its not salsa music!!

  • 2loose

    It sounds like the theme to a spagetti western.
    Although it’s better than the Marilyn Manson tune Paplebon chose.

    I was hoping for “ Constant Sorrow ” from oh Brother where art thou

  • Sportschick

    Love the song, love Aceves.  It sounds like Spanish rock music.

  • Nomar

    Can’t be half as bad as his pitching

  • jksd

    song rules

    Wow. A lot of Debbie Downers and racists in here.  Whatever works, AA!  Sounds good to me.

  • Gabriel Appelbaum

    i made a much better one

  • big93mike

    Well I think the pretty much everyone of the Pats on the list got slighted except maybe Mankins. Gronk’s number on the list was okay but he is not the second best TE in the game. Welker led the league in receptions by a mile again and didn’t crack the top 20. Wilfork dropped a ridiculous amount of spots and is clearly better than quite a few of the player ranked higher than him. I can see Brady at #2 just because of Rodgers’ being the MVP and having such a great year but #4 is a joke. Maybe the Pats will use this as motivation to have a better overall year this season and actually win the Superbowl.

    Last year Brady was the league MVP and got voted #1.  This year its Rodgers — fair enough.  Brees gets #2 for his “new” passing record, what can you do?  As for passing attempts, Brady gets his fair share.  He’s thrown over 600 a season a few times. 

  • Subroc

    I don’t care how those top QBs get placed. No WR should be placed above Tom Brady, even Calvin Johnson.

  • Andrew Masterson

    drew brees LOL

  • CherokeeChief

    Remember that this list was a result of a national popularity vote and not on an evaluation of skill, production and value. We all know that anything NE is obviously hated outside the region and everybody KNOWS that Brady is number one in the NFL, they just don’t want to acknowledge it. Who really cares? See ya in the SB chumps.  

  • Guest

    Brady is 6th on the list.  Here are the 5 others, 1. Gronk, 2. Welker, 3. Mankins, 4. Wilfork, 5.

  • CherokeeChief

    I’m surprised that Tim Tebow wasn’t voted above him.

  • Gopats

    If the pats D was half as good as the packers or saints Brady throws for more yards than brees and more TD’s than rodgers and the Pats go 19-0
