Some players are born to have slogans and Ike Davis was one of those players. As soon as he started to fly through the system, the Mets Faithful already knew that Ike Davis was destined to have a catchphrase, a slogan, a chant, and a T-shirt:
(Two Eight Nine Shirts)
Yes this was now are slogan, rescued from political pass from Eisenhower and back into the public spotlight. And it works too! It's not like we are rhyming with “We Like Ike” it's the exact same slogan. We just have to hope that no other team uses this slogan for a ridiculous voting campaign for some sort of popularity contest that is just a propaganda machine for Major League Baseball……..
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Rangers have used “I Like Mike” in their effort to get former All-Star MVP Mike Young into the game this year on the final fan vote, not that he has a chance sine he will be going against Swish and Youk. So this is obviously not as big of a deal as I'm presenting it as, I just wanted to point out that someone is encroaching on our sayings and chants….when was the last time that happened?
