IKE DAVIS IN A TRADE Ike Davis in a trade The plan that the Mets had made They had Lucas Duda As well as Josh Satin They could make a deal You know that Ike had worn Out his welcome The or-ganiza-tion... It had soured Sandy glowered — At Ike He lost faith in Ike ’Cause he’d strike out far Too much They’d make fans think That Ike likes his drink Spreading accu-saaaa-tions And such They’d weave their web of Ike At Rubin’s online site They’d make it clear this kid Was no David Wright And when his average ebbed While his power’d fade They would work to include Ike Davis in a trade Ike Davis in a trade The best of Met plans mislaid They talked to Milwaukee And called on the Pirates Yet through the months Ike stayed Another year of hearing “Start Me Up” It appears that the Mets are stuck With Ike Davis... Late of Vegas... Ike — Won’t someone take Ike? So his days here soon Are done We won’t ask a lot And accept he’ll get hot Driving home a-noooo-ther Team’s runs Ike’s wilting on the block As spring grows near “The market remains stable” Is the GM’s fear He doesn’t care at all For Ike’s ingrained approach Why must this young first baseman Be so hard to coach? Slugger on the cheap They’ll ship him off to you And perhaps they’ll put the savings Toward Stephen Drew... [youtube:1rznb0yt]Y6fHYHrIYZg[/youtube:1rznb0yt]

The no-show was a wise person. I don't think this would have been topped.

Awesome!

Can the poll be modified to show which one is the forfeited one? It's tied as I type.

Voting in each first round head to head contest will end 48 hours after it is posted to the forum. If, after the 48 hour voting period, a matchup is tied, the voting period will be extended for approximately 24 hours. Personally, I think that the neck and neck vote tally of this match-up should bring out a heavy turnout among voters.

i need to think on this one a bunch. it's tricky.

d'Kong76 Jan 16 2014 03:09 AM Re: Round One, Game Three (2013-14 CPKP)

There's only one song, two posters (at time of my posting) voted for a forfeited song.

Are you serious?

Eerie similarity between "choices" will probably clear matters up before long.

No, I would like the poll choices to differentiate between which 'songs' we are voting for. Don't make this a thing, just please fix it or explain.

Let me boil this down, not that it's really needed: Ike Davis in a Trade/Ike Davis/Neil Diamond: Longfellow Serenade -- the real entry Ike Davis in a Trade/Ike Davis/Neil Diamond: Longfellow Serenade -- the forfeited one How can we tell which is which?

Oh, it's needed. Do you think that two head to head contestants wrote the exact same parody of Neil Diamond's Longfellow Serenade, titled Ike Davis in a Trade? With identical lyrics? And then I ruled that one of the two contestants forfeited, even though he submitted a parody exactly like the one his opponent submitted? And then I posted this thread so that voters could decide which of two identical parodies is the better one? What do you think is going on here?

d'Kong76 Jan 16 2014 03:57 AM Re: Round One, Game Three (2013-14 CPKP)

bmlo, just pause up a minute. Does anyone else not understand my point? I don't know if I'm voting for a song or a forfeited spot. It's not rocket science.

batmagadanleadoff Jan 16 2014 04:05 AM Re: Round One, Game Three (2013-14 CPKP)

Pssst. There's only one song to vote for.

d'Kong76 Jan 16 2014 04:16 AM Re: Round One, Game Three (2013-14 CPKP)

I don't think you're funny. I'm sure some do. Thanks for moderating the contest, just think it would have been easier to just say, 'forfeit.' or whatever.

I know you don't think I'm funny. I especially realized it after this latest exchange, about a half an hour ago.. You just don't get me. That's why you write posts to me in the manner that you do. I don't get you. I don't see how anyone would think they might be voting for a forfeited song. What forfeited song? Where is the forfeited song that you thought you might've voted for? The two choices at the top of this poll are identical. I did say "forfeit". That's what the huge stencil style lettering at the top of the thread is for.

The voter from New York abstains. Courteously.

So the thread with the least number of songs generates the most replies.
