Now is your chance to Rickroll the Mets all year long...

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and to be honest, just plain funny. The Mets have opened themselves to getting "rickrolled" all year long.

For those of you who do not know what getting "rickrolled" is; ts another childish internet prank where you send a link to a friend saying something along the lines of "hey check out my vacation pictures!!1!" or "Astros trade Roy Oswalt to Red Sox for..." then, instead of having the expected link, you send them a link to the music video of Rick Astleys' "Never going to let you down". I know, its stupid but nonetheless harmless and kind of funny. This whole rickrolled thing got really big on the internet after google and youtube replace all of their links for a short period of time with the music video for an April Fool's prank. But I digress...

Now, The Mets have enacted a poll on their website for fans to choose which song to play during the 8th inning of a game at Shea for the ENTIRE SEASON. That's right. You can vote to force the Mets and all of their fans to listen to "Never going to let you down" during EVERY 8th inning at Shea. If you ever wanted to mess with the Mets and their fans, now is your best shot yet.

I encourage you to listen to the song and watch the video to remind yourself how awful the song is and how funny it will be to have it on durring every 8th inning in Shea.
