Johan rocks the SI cover: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_online/covers/issues/2008/0225.html Story here: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/02/19/santana0225/ Good of the Mets to get the jinx out of the way last September.

I Robinson Canceled my SI subscription a year or so ago and saw recently where not only did they lose Rick Reilly to ESPN the Rag, but they hired Dan Patrick (!?!??) to replace him. Bad to worse for the once proud franchise.

Don't be alarmed if Santana sucks in spring training, thats just the SI cover curse doing its thing.

- I agree, great cover. - I also think that if this were any of the past 8 or so years, Johan would be wearing a black jersey. Mebbe Lunchables is right and the Mets are signaling a de-emphasis on the black.

2007 No Black 2006 Black Caps Only 1999 All Black Coming back to the pinstripes is nice.

Fine, I'm a douchebag.

When I got to work today, somebody had taped a little picture of Santana in his Mets hat on my PC; it was from ESPN magazine thoug

Check that little guy in the corner! Full cover treatment:

KC Feb 20 2008 07:01 PM

Oh come on, that's not nearly full. Knight scoring The Dead End Kids What's up Doc? The Mets Against the World The Amaysin' Mets Struggle at the Top Amazin' Mess Dwight the Great Pennant Pressure Are the Mets as Good as Their Record Brooks Robinson Challenges the Mets Seaver Freakin' Sportsman of the Freakin' Year I'm probably missing a couple as well.

SteveJRogers Feb 20 2008 07:08 PM

Nymr's request was for the grey top unis.

KC Feb 20 2008 07:14 PM

Didn't understand. Again.

AG/DC Feb 20 2008 08:43 PM

Goofy that he's shown on the mound, but wearing what look like cross trainer shoes instead of baseball cleats.

Johan the first Met as a Met on the cover of SI to not actually take part in a game as a Met since the very first Met SI cover, Ol' Case, March 5, 1962.
