Winner of Round 1.11 SWEEP SNAKES New York Post, May 21, 2018. Amed Rosario hits two homers and Asdrubal Cabrera hits one too as the Mets complete a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks at Citi Field. Winner of Round 1.06 TODD COUPLE! New York Daily News, April 14, 2018. The Mets reach the apex of their season, as two homers from Todd Frazier bring the team's record to 11 and 1.

Kudos to the Post, that's a pretty nice cover. Photo, headline, composition all came together pretty well. The Snooze cover has a worse picture and Fraze's elbow interferes with how hard the pun hits. Also, this cover reminds me of how aesthetically unpleasing Frazier's swing is.

I went with Todd. Sweep is a better picture but it's too small and shared with the MFYs and the NHL.

Just making sure this doesn't get buried.

Narrowly went with SNAKES despite the layout flaws...

I think that would probably annoy those who don't participate.

We now have our first winner from the Third Round, and it's SWEEP SNAKES from the New York Post. The voting wasn't quite a sweep, as TODD COUPLE got a little bit more than a couple of votes. The Post had only two of the 22 covers that emerged from the first round, but it's been slowly overcoming the initial steep odds, and it becomes the first of our publications this year to place a cover in the Elite Eight. The other Post cover, GSELL THE MAN! is also still alive and well, and is the potential opponent for SWEEP SNAKES in Round Four.

Todd is consoling himself from this unjust defeat by giving traffic reports on Twitter: [tweet:2gis9c0l]https://twitter.com/FlavaFraz21/status/1076146514282590209[/tweet:2gis9c0l]

Wow, Todd still lives in Toms River? That place is seriously white (like Trump rally-white), isn't it?
