What's with the News and the second picture of the same subject? It occurs twice in this Round.

Post’s news judgment in putting deGrom on the front page was uncommonly wise.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Terrific field here.

While I generally don't support Newsday covers, I agree that the composition of THAT'S ALMORA! is exquisite.

When a dude hits the wall and hangs onto the ball!
That's Almora!
When Taijuan gets the win 'cuz the defense checked in!
That's Almora!

Schwarber swing, make-da-ball-a-sting, wanna-win-a-ring!
And you'll sing, "Fuckin' hella!"
"Albert A.! Come-on-make-da-play! Evabody-pray!
And don't say TORN PATELLA!

If it's June and it's late! You've hit oh-ninety-eight!
You're Almora!
Everybody gets hurt! Still, you're not worth your shirt!
You're Almora!

Word comes round! Gonna send you down! Ass thrown out of town!
Feeling brown! La merda!
Syracuse! Got-da-bush-league-blues! Every-game-we-lose!
Hey, there's Jaime Cerda!!!
