This is a tough one

It was impossible to know it at the time, but that FORT KNOX cover turned out to represent the high water mark of the season for Conforto. It was later that night that the Mets would face Madison Bumgarner with Conforto, batting 3rd, going 0/4 w/3 Ks. That alone was no big deal of course, but foreseeing this past week's election results would have been more logical than thinking that night was the beginning of a season-long spiral for Conforto that would see him fall so fast that he'd wind up spending more than 1/3 of the remaining time in the minor leagues. Conforto prior to May 1st: .365/.492/.676 Conforto (in ML) after May 1st: .174/.267/.330

He has the ability to transform a lineup. For good or bad.

So Bartolo leaves us on the day that his home run is current in the Tabloid Cover Derby.

Dozen, Fort, Bartbino... that's Uncle Bartbino to you!

Nice cover commemorating what might have been Bastardo's only Met highlight.

"Hansel's Regretel' is a super-witty headline, but it was a loss.
