Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days. David Wright sets the tone for a winning season. Noah Syndergaard takes a poorly timed lunch break. Fred Wilpon chats with Terry Collins about "areas of concern". Zack Wheeler has a tender elbow and will be getting an MRI.

I find myself picking the 'least bad' one so far. Also some damn poor photoshopping on some of these.

These ones stink, compared to the prior batch. Lots of forced puns, some bad photoshopping, and copious overselling the sidebar story of the Synderlunch.

Slapped, Fred, Reality for me this round. Slapped for the headline not the crappy Photoshop work. Jeez, we have a half dozen more talented photofixers here.

I voted for YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT and THIS JUST GOT WHEEL. Both mainly because the selected photo went well with the theme. PITCH SLAPPED is awful. (Although it currently holds a slim lead.) Cute idea, perhaps, but really amateur photoshopping.

FRED ALERT! Love it.

The quality of puns in the tabloids has gone way down.

The Mets should use YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT at every turn. The Mets should HAVE been using YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT at every turn.

I would've voted for Fred Alert even if there was no picture to go with the text.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 04 2015 03:11 PM Re: 2015 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.1.2 Mar 2 through Mar 1

But the fact that they chose a photo of him sneering makes it all the better.

Who's the cat that won't cop out When you need gappers, inside-out? PANTS! Who is the man, who would risk his spine for a Grandy Man? PANTS! You're damn Wright.

Food fight

These are all terrible in at least one way, between the caption, the photos, or the stories behind them. The only one I voted for is 'YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT.'

Zvon Nov 04 2015 11:15 PM Re: 2015 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.1.2 Mar 2 through Mar 1

Everyone is going to pick YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT,....I hope. I almost picked PITCH SLAPPED because of the bad photoshopping. I have no doubt that that was put on a graphic artist in this fashion: "I need Wright holding Thor in a headlock and I need it in 10 minutes for the front page!" If it didn't go down like that the graphic people there really suck and I hope that's not the case. I could use a good job.

I figured that the bad headlock photoshop was done intentionally, for effect. What effect? I'm not sure.
