I went against (my) tradition of not giving the Post credit for anything. But Two by Two was two good to pass up. Later

I liked the Sultan of Swaat with the two As in swat. Pretty clever!

Road rage and Sultan. I really love how we get to re-live the season with these covers. Even if we weren't voting it's fun to just browse these. I think this is when we started realizing the Mets offense wasn't as good as we thought in April. Injuries and Conforto taking a downturn.

It's a fun way to recap the events of the past year. As I've said before, I think these covers are their own kind of pop art, and I like having them tell the story of the season. In the first round, the voting is just a bonus. It's in the later rounds, where the nostalgia ends and the gloves come off, that it becomes all about the voting, and shit gets real!

Rockie Road Rage. That's fun.

Nats on the cover? Fuck no.

I'm bumping this poll because it's currently tied. Voting will end on Saturday morning.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 18 2016 06:05 PM Re: 2016 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.2.2 May 12 through May

Bumping this for the final time. If it's still tied tomorrow morning, I'll post a tiebreaker poll.

Centerfield Nov 18 2016 06:31 PM Re: 2016 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.2.2 May 12 through May

Wait. So only the winner moves on? Not the top 3? Wow, I am slow top pick up these rules.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 18 2016 06:37 PM Re: 2016 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.2.2 May 12 through May

Yes, that's right. Only the winner moves on. There are 32 first-round polls, to determine 32 finalists. After that, starting with the second round, it's NCAA-style one-on-one single elimination.

Centerfield Nov 18 2016 07:08 PM Re: 2016 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.2.2 May 12 through May

All this time I thought it was like Round Robin, where the top 3 covers from Pool A move on, or something like that. That is pretty tough. I bet some of these second place covers could go pretty deep.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 18 2016 07:19 PM Re: 2016 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.2.2 May 12 through May

I guess it would have been more clear if, when a poll closed, I would post an update saying this poll has closed and this is the winning cover. But with a new poll being added to the forum every day, I don't want to add further clutter by bumping each poll as it closes. The polls that expire just fade gracefully to the back pages. Instead I periodically update the main thread as I did the other day.
