I'm not for censorship normally, but those pictures of Thor and Jake in MFY garb should be banned.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 14 2018 07:10 AM Re: 2018 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.10 May 16 through May 2

I'd really be surprised if that cover got any votes at all.

I've been voting for 3 covers but could only muster up a vote for RAINING METS.

These remind me every year how glad I am that I don't read these rags.

I'd like to find that article from the "It's Rainin' Mets" cover that says why Ces may never be healthy. I wonder if that's changed now with the surgeries.

[url]http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/time-mets-yoenis-cespedes-player-article-1.3993934 It's a lot of "selling jeans" stuff about his body type and stuff. They didn't know he had the heal spurs. Sounds like no one asked, which I guess, why would you, but it's just a lot of "he's got nagging injuries so clearly he'll always have nagging injuries" A lot of LOLMets nonsense for them wanting to see how he responded to a night's sleep and a day of rest even though that's extremely common protocol for most teams, and for just injuries/conditions in general. They knew then they were managing something, and that if he woke up the next day and was fine, he'd still be hurt but could still play, like he'd been doing since they got him.

Any media criticism of the Mets is fake news, sez you. fuck off. I'm not objecting to criticism, when it's sourced, and well argued. But these rags are mostly just doing zeitgeist clickbait stuff. It's for entertainment, and I don't find it entertaining. This is not just about the newspapers/media, i find the #LOLMets woe is me stuff extremely boring and lame. So these papers 1. Don't inform me. 2. Don't entertain me. so why bother? They're retweeting the press releases and making the same lame jokes a billion people made on Twitter the night before. Once in a blue moon they get in a cool photo/pun cover that's interesting, and that's about it.

What's with the fuck off? I'm joking with you. Sheesh. Fuck off this and fuck off that and I cant think critically. Whatever.

This poll is currently tied. Anyone care to break the deadlock?

I thought Jake Strikes Back would get more votes. Love it.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 15 2018 01:48 PM Re: 2018 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.10 May 16 through May 2

Meanwhile, I'm not at all surprised that CAN YOU DEAL? is being shut out.
