. Poll 1.4.1 is the third first-round contest to end in a tie. Like our first tiebreaker, it's a battle between two covers from the same publication, and, as in that earlier poll, it features Steven Matz vs. Jacob deGrom. This tiebreaker poll will run for three days. Please vote for the cover you like best.

I love "Landslide" as much as the next guy with ears and a heart, but come on. The deGrom pic is FANTASTIC.

I agree that the deGrom page is much better. And as for the captions, I'll take a reference to Bogart and Bergman over Fleetwood Mac nine days per week.

I think that's the best angle to shoot him from, too. You won't see it in that shot because it's kinda tight, but deGrom's pitching motion coupled with his longness and leanness makes for some amazing composition.

The same tagline was used when the Mets jettisoned Steve Phillips. I think these tabloids keep reference lists of taglines. I think they create a lot of them in advance, weeks or months or years, and have 'em ready, just waiting for the right occasion to present itself.

So is Pia Lindström.

I thought HAIR would shut-out NIXED.
