Winner of Round 1.4.1 THE HAIR APPARENT! New York Daily News, September 4, 2016 Robert Gsellman shows that the Mets have yet another long-haired starting pitcher that they can count on. Winner of Round 1.4.3 T.J. MAXX! New York Post, September 14, 2016 T.J. Rivera homers and drives in three as the Mets beat the Nationals 4-3 in Washington.

Pardon our snafu... The original version of poll 2.4.3 accidentally pitted THE HAIR APPARENT! against the Daily News cover BRONX BOMBER, which had been eliminated in the first round. The proper opponent for the Gsellman cover should have been the New York Post's T.J. MAXX! The original thread has been locked. If you voted in that thread, please be sure to vote again in this replacement thread. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Now I'm afraid I'm going to be on the phone all day with the Stockholm office trying to explain how this happened. What a way to start the week!

THE HAIR APPARENT! = old cliche of a pun. T.J. MAXX! = NEW cliche of a pun. I went for T.J.

Tough call. But I went Maxx.

So far I'm the lone HAIR vote. I chose that one because the player is more prominent on that cover. On T.J. MAXX, Rivera is buried under the headline and confined to the top left corner of the cover.

I like TJ, just not in this match. Later

Oh come on. You guys are voting for Underwear Girl

TJ MAXX was the bigger game. But I like the Hair cover. Despite underwear girl.

Showing Murph K'n is sweet but it only reminds me of how he pwnd us in '16 and what a great season he had. Him being there totally cancels out underwear girl for me, and that's no easy task. :( Hair for the win!

The lone remaining T.J. Rivera cover is eliminated, as the Daily News gets its ninth second-round win.
