RED, WHITE & BOOM seems like such a halfhearted approach to punning, until you read PITCHER IN THE RYE up top.

Act like you care, headline editors.

The Matz pic is a generic pic that could have been taken in almost any game that he started. Plus, that cover has another former Met on it with, as Edgy said, a punny headline. The Pete pic is contemporaneous, albeit with a punny headline. I'll take Pete over two losers that prefer to play elsewhere.

Hey, he got my vote.

And I'm OK with puns. It's poorly executed, phonics-ignorant puns that eat me up.

"RED, WHITE & BOOM"? Get out of here.
