Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Last season, the Marlins enlisted the help of reggaetón rapper Pitbull to create a new anthem for the team (unfortunately, he complied). Well, that song was such a success (?) that Florida thought it wise to come up with a new song for 2010. This year though, they opted for the smooth vocal stylings of one Scott Stapp, lead singer of Creed.
It's almost too much to be real. Is it real? Oh, it is, and it was featured as part of the "festivities" at the Marlins home opener. Awesome.
"Commmmeon Marlins, maaaeeekusss proud!"
(Video via Scott Stapp's blog, where he loves triple-embedding videos, apparently)

"With a little faith and love, you will suck"

Oh, I was wrong
It was “a little faith and luck, you will suck”

No, I'm pretty sure that's the lyric
Though, to be fair, nobody knows more about sucking than Scott Stapp.
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

The old video
