IkeGT 4/19: Cubs @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

'Bout time for Bay to get this city rolling.
Too bad it's on a Monday instead of ...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Lou rips this guy out before he even breaks a sweat!

[Fman99]

Oh, Ike, I have Met-related-erectivity for you now.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

they'll never again say he can't hit LHP. Had he been retired there, it'd be atag he'd carry all year.

[Frayed Knot]

Ike's def bailing on the lefty but gets the job done anyway.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Mr. Murphy, take your time healing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Some small part of this rally kills Jerry, having lost his save sitiuation.

Am I the last person to learn that Ike is a Member of the Tribe?

What, are you watching the Indians game or something?

[bmfc1]

Nicely done Fman.

I'm Jenrry in the eighth, I am

Getting home in time to watch that inning was nice. Welcome to our new firstbaseman!!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Davis, Niese and Mejia -- Mets of tomorrow ... today!

Great game by the kids!

Please don't waste a pinch-hitter just to send him up to bunt.[/quote:5yz6297n]

Well they didn't want to waste a pitcher so they used Matthews instead.

[Gwreck]

Crowd has really turned on Gary Matthews Jr.
I thought the double-switch bringing him in the game was totally unnecessary, particularly as it worsened defense.

Saw only one "I Like Ike" sign but there could've been more. Along with not having a lot of crowd noise, there doesn't seem to be a lot of places in CF to hang banners or signs (or people aren't bringing them like they used to).

[G-Fafif]

Nice night to meet our latest savior. Whether this was the beginning of the Ike Davis Era or just the night Ike Davis debuted, a marvelous introduction.

Agreed with Gwreck on GMJ. Why he should be the target as opposed to almost everyone else...why ask why? Try Ike Dry.

TMF and I sampled McFadden's. Very loud. Even louder than Ike's bat, so you know it's loud.

Mets to the core

[soupcan]

Pitch count at 112 when he left. Hawkman lives on the edge.

[Guest themetfairy]

Here is Ike Davis' first major league hit -



And Niese on the mound -

[Benjamin Grimm]

I should use that for his UMDB mug shot.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Frenchy-- who seems to REALLY enjoy this-- delivering Mr. Davis' pie order:

[Frayed Knot]

The Yanquis did the pie in the face thing last year so I think that means no one is allowed to use it anymore except them. Either that or they have to pay royalties.
I'm sure one of the columnists will straighten out the matter by accusing the Mets of having no originality on account of their adopting this NYY-invented ploy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe we put an original spin on it: pelt any young/rookie PoTG with unsold Shack-cago Dogs.

Because nothing says "I'm a winner" like being slapped in the face with a big box of wieners.
