I dislike both of these. I went with the lineup entry because I dislike it less.

I think that Sandy one is great. The snake-oil salesman grin. The Ben Franklins (like $200 bucks) hanging from the pocket of that outlandish jacket perfectly feigns the Mets wealth. And the "wait there's more" headline nicely captures the infomercial spirit of "you've just bought some crap (Gonzalez) and you're gonna get some extra crap along with it (Bruce), but only if you order NOW!!!" .
