Just one

Johnny Dickshot Nov 11 2005 02:14 PM

But due around the same date as the Lundy Twins. A Dickshot first! We are surprised and terrified.

ScarletKnight41 Nov 11 2005 02:16 PM

Mazel Tov to the Dickshots :)

seawolf17 Nov 11 2005 02:22 PM

More babies! Congrats, JD.

cooby Nov 11 2005 04:05 PM

Congratulations to all the future and new fathers! Babies are great, and the best part is, the people they become will be the lights of your life.

Edgy MD Nov 11 2005 06:35 PM

Holy crap!! Go Dickshots, go! I knew that ice cream maker would come in handy.

metirish Nov 11 2005 07:57 PM

Huge congratulations to you Johnny and your wife, imagine all the babies if the Mets win a WS....

SwitchHitter Nov 13 2005 12:33 PM

Congratulations on your future Metfan.

HahnSolo Nov 13 2005 04:24 PM

Congrats on the great news!

dgwphotography Nov 13 2005 05:02 PM

JD - congratulations! Trust me - you will know of no greater love than the love you will have your child.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 13 2005 06:39 PM

True dat Iubitul. Congratulations to all the expectant parents here. I'm a two-time dad myself, and those two kids of mine represent the two coolest things I've ever done.

Edgy MD Nov 13 2005 07:06 PM

I'd like to depart from the happy theme of this thread to say it looks like the guy in the red shirt in SwitchHitter's animated gif is slugging Ventura in his skull as Nolie holds him in place.

Rockin' Doc Nov 14 2005 05:35 AM

Congratulations, JD. Your entire world is about to change for the better. The nation of Mets fns continues to slowly expand.

TheOldMole Nov 14 2005 08:12 AM

Best thing that can happen to you.

Willets Point Nov 14 2005 08:31 AM

Looks like a Dickshot hit it's target. Congratulations!

Lundy Nov 14 2005 08:56 AM

Congrats JD! Baby boom goin' on in the Pool.

rpackrat Nov 14 2005 12:33 PM

Congrats, JD! Nothing in your life will ever make you happier than your kids. One word of advice, though: Get as much sleep as you can between now and when the bay arrives!

Centerfield Nov 16 2005 12:32 PM

Awesome. Cranepool expands yet again! Congratulations JD. What number will he be assigned?

Valadius Nov 16 2005 12:52 PM

Congrats!

sharpie Nov 18 2005 02:22 PM

Congrats. More Brooklynites. I'm in favor.

well, JD... all i can say is... is... I hope you've enjoyed your relationship with your wife to date. You'll get it back in about 17 years. Or so i've been told... {VIC shakes his head, and wanders off, muttering, stage left}

Willets Point May 02 2006 11:16 AM

How long until little D'Brickashaw Dickshot is born?

Even I'm still waiting...not that I'm in any rush for my baby to leave

Johnny Dickshot May 02 2006 12:02 PM

T-minus 12 days...

Benjamin Grimm May 02 2006 12:16 PM

Woof!

seawolf17 May 02 2006 12:16 PM

Let me say, on behalf of new dads everywhere... good luck. Because holy frig, babies can be hard sometimes.

Rockin' Doc May 02 2006 05:53 PM

Just wait until they're a teenager, wolf.

d'Kong76 May 11 2006 06:25 PM

I'm picking early tomorrow morning, like 1:19am, they may even already be there ... I get that ESPN sometimes.

Edgy MD May 11 2006 09:59 PM

Bad taste to have a pool on these things?

d'Kong76 May 12 2006 05:20 AM

Sorry, Miss Manners ... just posting what was on my mind at the time.

Edgy MD May 12 2006 05:36 AM

No, no. That was on my mind also.

d'Kong76 May 12 2006 05:52 AM

Internet uncles, pacing ...

Edgy MD May 12 2006 06:05 AM

I'm guessing Brian Peter Dickshot if a boy.

ScarletKnight41 May 12 2006 07:22 AM

I'm guessing that this will be a Mother's Day gift to the Dickshots.

Benjamin Grimm May 12 2006 07:24 AM

I was a first child, born between Mother's Day and Father's Day. So my dad had a Father's Day before my mom had a Mother's Day. That doesn't happen in too many families. I'm sure Mrs. Dickshot is hoping that baby appears before Sunday, for a number of reasons!

Vic Sage May 12 2006 09:09 AM

i'm picking saturday, because its my b'day... and a damn good one!

Edgy MD May 12 2006 01:12 PM

Tara Christine if a girl.

seawolf17 May 12 2006 01:22 PM

I vote Joan Whitney Dickshot if it's a girl.

Farmer Ted May 12 2006 01:28 PM

I guessing, somehow, that SHEA gets put in there as a first or middle name, regardless of gender. Keep us posted. Our little second baseman is now 7 months old. She's an expert in basecrawling.

Edgy MD May 12 2006 01:49 PM

And Dickshot's had 19 hours, 45 minutes since posting, including starting yesterday's IGT, but not participating in it.

Johnny Dickshot May 13 2006 02:06 PM

Ivan James Dickshot Born Friday at 3:20 am after a very long day! 8 lbs, 7oz (wow), 20.5 inches Mom rocks; Baby is fine; Pop doesn't know what to say. Just back here for a second to check on the cat (she survived); left the camera back at the room... will torture you all with photos in a day or two and gory details. Thanks for the concern!!

metirish May 13 2006 02:11 PM

That's great news Johnny, congrats all round....nice name Ivan.

Edgy MD May 13 2006 02:23 PM

Great news. Love to the mother. CPF cigars all 'round. Congrats from Ms. Edgy and myself. OE: Good Willie Mays post. Ms. Edgy wants to know how it feels to be a grownup.

cooby May 13 2006 02:33 PM

Congratulations, a nice big boy! :)

MFS62 May 13 2006 02:38 PM

Congrats. Glad everyone is ok. We can't wait to see the pics. (And those late night posts while you're up with Ivan). Later

d'Kong76 May 13 2006 03:06 PM

Outstanding, love to the new one and youse twouse from both of us. (off by two hours and a minute ... ESPN was on Atlantic Ocean time)

seawolf17 May 13 2006 03:25 PM

Question is... is it "ee-VON" or "EYE-vin"? Either way, a fitting tribute to one of the finest catchers of our time. I had no idea you were such a big fan.

cooby May 13 2006 03:26 PM

Don't forget to buy your wife a Mother's Day gift from the baby!

ScarletKnight41 May 13 2006 03:32 PM

Mazel Tov! That's wonderful :)

OlerudOwned May 13 2006 04:07 PM

Congrats!

Benjamin Grimm May 13 2006 05:04 PM

Congratulations! You're beginning a wonderful ride. You named him after Carlos Beltran, didn't you?

DocTee May 13 2006 05:32 PM

Congratulations, JD. Now tie down Ivan's right hand and force him to be a southpaw; there's always need for a LOOGY.

Farmer Ted May 13 2006 08:05 PM

8 pounds (gulp) 7 ounces. That's the size of the spare tire in my Jeep. Congrats, especially to The Mrs. for Momma's Day. We're more than happy to share our Mets baby clothes.

Elster88 May 13 2006 08:09 PM

Congratulations!

DocTee May 14 2006 07:36 AM

8 pounds (gulp) 7 ounces. That's the size of the spare tire in my Jeep. As my wife told me--between contractions as she delivered our 9 pound, 8 ounce daughter five years ago-- "I may not have felt it going in, but I feel it coming out!"

Johnny Dickshot May 14 2006 01:34 PM

10 mins old: supporting the team

Hillbilly May 14 2006 01:50 PM

Congratulations! What a cutie!

ScarletKnight41 May 14 2006 03:02 PM

He's adorable :)

cooby May 14 2006 03:25 PM

Aw....

ScarletKnight41 May 14 2006 03:39 PM

Could this have been the Dickshots?

G-Fafif May 14 2006 03:57 PM

The heartiest of mazel tovs.

Rockin' Doc May 14 2006 07:25 PM

Congratulations on the new arrival. Glad to hear that both Ivan and your wife are doing well. Love the pictures, especially with the hat. Please extend wishes for a happy mother's day to your wife from myself and the Rockettes.

HahnSolo May 14 2006 08:44 PM

Congrats!

Edgy MD May 14 2006 09:14 PM

Perfect.

metirish May 14 2006 09:16 PM

Great pics Dickshot, WOW, 10 mins old......that must be an amazing feeling....

Willets Point May 14 2006 11:56 PM

Hooray for the Dickshots and welcome Ivan. Oh and Farmer Ted, I was more than a pound heavier at birth.

Lundy May 15 2006 07:54 PM

Congrats, JD! Now the fun begins!

sharpie May 15 2006 08:13 PM

Congrats. It's the beginning of a great adventure.

Methead May 15 2006 09:02 PM

I can't believe I just saw this now. BIG congratulations. Huge.

Vic Sage May 16 2006 10:48 AM

welcome to the brotherhood of exhausted, glassy-eyed schmucks! you've got 18 years till your next relaxing vacation! Mazel tov!

soupcan May 16 2006 02:45 PM

Congratulations from the soupcan clan as well. I like the pic with the Met cap. Nice job. Its never to early to start throwing baseballs in the crib by the way.

No chance of that, my wings havee been clipped.

Zvon May 17 2006 06:45 PM

sorry Im late here- Congrads JD: may your child always be blessed and may his rookie card be worth $$$ someday.

Willets Point May 17 2006 06:49 PM

Now for the Lundy twins you're going to have to do something like this:

Edgy MD May 18 2006 09:55 AM

Too kewl.

Centerfield May 19 2006 10:40 AM

Congrats JD! Sorry I'm just seeing this now. Awesome. What position?

Gwreck May 19 2006 11:14 AM

Looks like a power-hitting corner outfield type. Or maybe third-base. The intense eyes, the take-no-prisoners almost-smirk he's got going there... Congrats!

Johnny Dickshot May 29 2006 08:39 PM

He apparently digs El Duque:

Edgy MD May 30 2006 04:37 PM

Farmer Ted May 31 2006 09:29 AM

Little Ivan has his own flat screen. He apparently inherited one helluva CD colelction, too. Lucky dog.

duan Jun 01 2006 11:23 AM

hey congrats jd! I'd be giving him a football to kick rather then thowing balls though.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 20 2006 08:16 AM

3-month bday:

ScarletKnight41 Aug 20 2006 09:39 AM

By the six month birthday, he'll be putting his hand up in front of the camera and mumbling about the paparazzi in his face! Seriously - he's adorable. Thanks for sharing :)

Edgy MD Aug 20 2006 10:19 AM

He's got the "I don't really trust that guy with the camera" look.

A Boy Named Seo Aug 25 2006 11:28 AM

I should check this forum out more often. Belated congratulations to the Dickshot clan. Very handsome little fella.

Centerfield Aug 25 2006 01:58 PM

Adorable. I love the little hands.

Johnny Dickshot May 13 2007 05:38 PM

He turned 1 years old yesterday, allowing us to have a BBQ and miss the ugly game. Today we went to Coney Island where the jellyfish exhibition at the aquarium freaked him out:

cooby May 13 2007 08:16 PM

This picture is a work of art. And Happy Birthday to one of our little sweeties!

Benjamin Grimm May 14 2007 09:13 AM

It took my son two years to sleep through the night. We thought he was there, but then when teeth started coming in we were right back where we started from again.

Willets Point May 14 2007 09:17 AM

Maybe he's freaked out by that other little boy inside the jellyfish tank.

Johnny Dickshot May 14 2007 09:26 AM

Yancy Street Gang wrote: It took my son two years to sleep through the night. We thought he was there, but then when teeth started coming in we were right back where we started from again. Jeez, I thought we had it bad. Our little guy slept like a baby (natch) until ~4 months then didn't give us a single night's rest until ~10 months. He was up every 2 hours. What cured him in part was getting sick and requiring some medicine that made him drowsy. I guess his teeth stopped coming in so furiously too. He seems to have a whole mouthful by now, but I'm sure there is more to come.

Centerfield May 14 2007 09:53 AM

Awesome. Happy Birthday to little Dickshot.

Farmer Ted May 16 2007 08:14 PM

Little Dickshot is probably wondering when he gets to meet his GIRLFRIEND in Pennsylvania.

Johnny Dickshot May 16 2007 08:15 PM

Weekend of June 23-24. Details coming

cooby May 16 2007 08:47 PM

wow...and he's so young!

Rockin' Doc May 16 2007 08:55 PM

I'm not sure I would want my daughter dating a boy named Little Dickshot.

SteveJRogers May 18 2007 04:04 PM

I don't have an image, but this is required reading for Ivan, Mini Wolf and any other young future Met fans:New York Mets 101: My First Team-Board-Book Just picked it up for my nephew!

seawolf17 May 18 2007 04:23 PM

Nah, MiniWolf is already working on his advanced analysis. (This belongs in MiniWolf's thread, but since it's a response to SJR...)

cooby May 18 2007 04:28 PM

Aw, another cutie! Whose the abandoned baseball card? Jeter, I reckon

seawolf17 May 18 2007 04:32 PM

Nah, we feed the Jeters to Peanut. That... (checks behind where I'm standing...) is a Jose Contreras. I bought him two packs of 99-cent cards a few weeks ago, and they're kinda randomly strewn all over the house.

Kid Carsey May 18 2007 06:35 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 18 2007 07:13 PM

Heh, one reason my sister is forbiding me from getting my nephew into baseball cards =:(

SteveJRogers Jun 21 2007 02:45 PM

Well my little guy, AKA my Godson and nephew, will become a big brother in about nine months (knock on wood) just as he is turning all of 25 months! Heh, good luck to my sis, going through another first year as her first born is going through the Terrible Twos! I guess her hubby and her little bro (uh, me) will be helping that along though.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 10 2008 09:12 AM

Anyway, my lame first attempt before my free proshow sub runs out and in time for lil'bucks' 2nd b-day Monday.

Three years old today, gets first nude role in film:

themetfairy May 12 2009 06:31 AM

Three years? Wow - that went fast! You've got a fine looking young man there, Lunchbucket.

Edgy MD May 12 2009 06:53 AM

Three years? I had good money bet that you would have misplaced him by now. Good for you.

SteveJRogers May 12 2009 07:40 AM

Cute little pail the little guy is becoming!

Farmer Ted May 12 2009 10:31 AM

TheOldMole May 12 2009 10:31 AM

Awwwww...

Rockin' Doc May 12 2009 10:48 AM

Fine looking young man. Luckily, he takes after his mother. Happy birthday to young Lunchbucket! May he continue to happy and healthy for many years to come.

metirish May 12 2009 04:43 PM

WOW , those were great. I watched last years one too. Apparently i missed it then. Did you make those, can you clue me in? Didn't expect Ivan to go Will Ferrell in Old School there at the end :) Happy Birthday Ivan

I tried the one last year with a trial software download that had nice functionality but found you can do it free at onetruemedia.com with a few less bells and whistles but easy to do and one-click publishing to youtube or whatever.

cooby May 12 2009 07:48 PM

Three years already...he is really very dear :)

Farmer Ted May 13 2009 10:14 AM

what's the youtube link address for that naked toddler run?

One more indulgent proud parent movie:

Edgy MD May 17 2009 01:35 PM

Thanks for cutting out just as the booger-picking black-haired kid reaches for the cake.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2009 10:50 AM

Poor guy has been dealing with a new day-care situation starting this week plus the semi-related and way-too-late separation from a binky (which he only used at sleeptime, but like, needed it). Left him crying his eyes out this morning at school and wanna die.

My prediction? Pain.

seawolf17 Jul 01 2009 11:58 AM

We expected serious binky withdrawal with MiniWolf, but he was a champ. They just kinda disappeared one day, and he was over it. I guess we got lucky.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2009 12:02 PM

Coolest thing about Clubber Lang? Even his gloves would sweat.

Monday was his first nap without one, and last night his first overnight. I'm thinking about getting him the patch, or maybe that gum.

Farmer Ted Jul 01 2009 12:23 PM

We ended the binky nonsense at 3 years with Toddler Ted. It took only one day, thankfully. Her teeth weren't coming in straight but they straightened up nicely in about 2 months post-binky.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2009 12:31 PM

Any word from the Stokeses?

themetfairy Jul 01 2009 12:42 PM

Good luck Lunchbucket. These transitions are hard (probably harder on the parents than the kids), but are generally short-lived. They had to peel MK off of me during his first few weeks of preschool, but ultimately he's the most social kid of my three.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2009 12:48 PM

Thanks! He's usually very social and happy, to see him get teary and scared is murder, I tellsya.

themetfairy Jul 02 2009 10:27 AM

How did he do this morning?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 02 2009 10:35 AM

Ugh.... Stayed up too late, woke up too early, decided early on he didn't wanna go in and really made us pay.

themetfairy Jul 02 2009 10:56 AM

So he's ready for middle school. Seriously, hang in there - he will adjust (and eventually, so will you).

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 09 2009 07:36 AM

He was over the binky thing in a few days but giving us major shit over going to camp ... and when I say major, I mean, like, major.... until this morning. (cue hallelulia chorus)

metirish Jul 09 2009 07:42 AM

Thankfully Lorcan never seemed to like the binky so he's never used one , starting to work him of the bottle now....never uses one at day-care so home is the problem In Ireland and the UK a binky is known as a dummy , not BSing here but I had to google binky to see what you were talking about.

I've sometimes been tempted to do just that.

Five years old today. Forgive the self-indulgent parenting ( not to mention the half-assed effort at editing a video) [youtube:6ld1mitr]VpEaDlJFgms[/youtube:6ld1mitr]

themetfairy May 12 2011 06:13 AM Re: Just one

I think the only unforgivable part of the video was the choice of music.... Happy Birthday to Lunchpail! Five years already - wow!

metirish May 12 2011 06:22 AM Re: Just one

Great video, the music was appropriate. Happy birthday Ivan, born the year of the last good Mets team ;)

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 12 2011 06:24 AM Re: Just one

Don't be dissing the Brady Kids, they rock the gum.

metirish May 12 2011 06:33 AM Re: Just one

Mean to say , in the last still shot he really looks like you.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Five years old today. Forgive the self-indulgent parenting ( not to mention the half-assed effort at editing a video) [youtube]VpEaDlJFgms[/youtube] Lovin' it. He'll make a great octopus. Achieving bilateral symmetry is ambitious, to say the least, but I'm sure he can do it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 12 2012 07:26 PM Re: Just one

6 today. Baseball game this morning, then big-ass party at home with 15 5 and 6 year old boys. I am wiped.
