First tough choice for me as these are two great action shots with non-stupid headlines. Went with Thor.

Yikes I didn't like either one of them and still don't.

I know. I think they're both very mediocre, but one of them will make the Final Four.

It's all about the matchups....

Went with Landslide, but I am a fan of Noah's alien arm and hand in that pic.

I like landslide. Action shot, a fun game, the headline fits nicely with the picture of Ces. Yanks failing in the clutch. The picture is nothing special, and I don't think there is anything particularly creative about the headline. I think you could have done a number of things with six HR's. But it's solidly good.

I want to relieve myself on both of these covers

Or go out and buy a bird so we can line his birdcage with them

METS IN A LANDSLIDE wins and becomes the first entry in our Final Four. HAMMERS & THOR is out.

Probably going to be the weakest of our Final Four I would guess. And if the current tallies hold up, it looks like we will have dueling Cespedes covers in the semi-final.

Actually, if the two Daily News Cespedes covers face off, it won't be until the final round. In the next round, METS IN A LANDSLIDE will go up against the winner of SEEDS OF LIFE vs. SULTAN OF SWAAT. And the winner of CES BOOM BAH vs. WIL POWER will face the winner of HAIR APPARENT vs. 11th HEAVEN. This will all happen on Thursday.
