Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days.

Bad news: Zack Wheeler is going to need Tommy John surgery.

But that's okay, a scarred Matt Harvey is willing to carry the team.

More bad news: Bartolo Colon is going to be the Opening Day starter. Same old Mets!

I like the "previously" box on the GET ON MY BACK cover. Also think that photo makes Matt Harvey look like Lt. Data from Star Trek.

You know, until I saw these covers I had pretty much forgotten what Zack Wheeler looks like.

Newsday making a surprisingly strong showing in this go-round.

Virtually all closeups of Harvey's face strike me as distasteful. Especially in action. Always looks like something nasty is going to come out of his mouth.

Wow, remember when everybody was up in arms that Colon got the Opening Day start? Oh, until he won, that is.

yeah. I also remember when Verrett starting once or twice pretty much clinched us not making the playoffs.

The angst over Colon getting the nod was ridiculous. Amazing that the "same old Mets" managed to end up winning the pennant anyway.

I like the 'Old Timers' Day' one. The rest of these suck. The puns are awful and the poses not much better.

It was one of our Top Ten Stupid Offseason Scandals of 2015-2016.

Remember when folks were pissed we didn't trade Noah Syndergaard for Ian Desmond?
