Mets do pretty good against the temperamental Latino? K-Rod is getting in to the game tonight no matter what........he's probably warming up right now.

Ike Davis taught me how to make love to a woman and how to scold a child. Ike Davis once showed me a video of him making love to my wife, and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw! (OK these are Bill Brasky quotes, I don't care.)

Zambrano is 1-1 with a 9.45 ERA. 3 runs over 5innings his last start, so he's not quite rounded (haha) into form yet. Little patience, some good swings, get an early lead and into the bullpen.

[url]http://dmdb.org/lyrics/benny.bell.html#ikey Ikey and Mikey were digging in a well, Said Ikey to Mikey, "I hope you go to Hel- -en's birthday party, you will be quite a hit." Said Mikey to Ikey, "I think you're full of shi- -sh-ke-bab and pizza, and you drink a lot of tea, And every hour on the hour you have to make a pe- -anut butter sandwidge, to feed your hungry heart, But when you eat those Boston beans you always leave a far- -eign letter in my mailbox- you're a crazy man, Sometimes I get so angry I could kick you in the can- -dy store and hold your head, beneath the water tap, 'Cause when you say you're sorry, that's just a lot of cra- -bgrass, my buddy, so if you're really wise, You'll ask me no more questions and I'll tell you no more lies."

I'm reminded of something that Bill Gallo (a Cardinals fan) said in a cartoon back around 1985, regarding Ozzie Smith: "Ozzie Davis is here to save us." I have to admit that I didn't catch that mistake until someone mentioned it in "Voice of the People" a few days later. Then I had one of those "DOH!" moments. Anyway... Ike Davis Is here to save us.

A burger-sized slab, cooked through so it's crisp outside and warm inside, with their delicious bbq sauce and pickles on the same bun as the pulled pork. It's all I can do to not go back for another, especially with the new location up here. Meanwhile, Jose, Jose Jose Jose Jose, Jose Jose. And Pelf with some leg. It was hard to tell live, but I think they get Reyes at third if they go there, and he may have been out before Pelfrey crossed the plate. Or I could be nuts, but that's how it looked to us.

Sight of the night - a kid in a jersey with number 420 on the back had a foul ball go right through his hands. Blurred vision, perhaps?

Number 420 or 42?
|

That's 87 pitches through six, kids. It's also 18 straight scoreless innings.
|
| Swan Swan H Apr 20 2010 06:44 PM Re: Mike + Ike: Cubs @ Mets igt 4/20/10 |

No, definitely 420. He probably only gets to wear it once a year, and definitely can't pack it in his carry-on luggage.

Blanco clears Pelf with a walk. Zambrano at 118 pitches, unlike the economical Pelfrey.
|
| Swan Swan H Apr 20 2010 07:05 PM Re: Mike + Ike: Cubs @ Mets igt 4/20/10 |

Blanco's walk eliminates the hit-for-Pelf option. Does Jerry give him the eighth? Would a few more runs change the decision? And what about Naomi? Finally, a faint LGM cheer wafts from the croiwd....

Agreed. Only 101 pitches thru 7. Does the relief stint on Saturday come into play?
|
| seawolf17 Apr 20 2010 07:10 PM Re: Mike + Ike: Cubs @ Mets igt 4/20/10 |
|
It would never fly, but I wonder if there will ever be a manager who, instead of using the throwing day to just throw on the side, uses a starter in games regularly to throw an inning or so. If the guy has to get his work in anyway, you might as well leverage that into getting outs from him rather than crossing your fingers and hoping Raul Valdes can pull a rabbit out of his ass in a big spot.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 20 2010 07:13 PM Re: Mike + Ike: Cubs @ Mets igt 4/20/10 |

Managers have done that for short stints while working with a six-man rotation.
