Two affirming covers to be sure! They're both great! Went with Sweep Snakes because I think it's a little more clever.

Two underwhelming covers. I like the headline and subheadline in Snakes, but the picture is kinda dumb. On the flip side, I like the picture in Gsell, but I don't like the pun or the blue insert into the headline. Went with Snakes because I think that cover as a whole is a bit better. Also, that was one of the two games I went to last year. So that's something.

=Centerfield post_id=750 time=1546874166 user_id=65] I like the picture in Gsell, but I don't like the pun or the blue insert into the headline.

That cover confuses the shit out of me. First of all, I'm mentally pronouncing it as Gee Zell the Man which is weird in itself. But at other times, the G is silent in my mind and so I pronounce it as Sell the Man. And so what's that all about? Is the headline advocating for the sale of Gsellman? That's hardly in line with the event being depicted. And it's certainly not uplifting, to say the least. Better to simply turn my eyes away from the whole mess.

http://ultimatemets.com/covers/images/2018/4-03w.jpg> SWEEP SNAKES has defeated GSELL THE MAN!, becoming the third cover to secure a spot in this year's Final Four, joining MIDNIGHT BADNESS and A WRIGHT TO REMEMBER, both from the Daily News. The fourth and final spot will be determined tomorrow, when poll 4.04 (SMILE HIGH vs. IT'S RAININ' METS) closes.
