9:29 AM? What the hell?

[Guest 41Forever]

Gotta go positive and Gselly!

[Guest Kong76, Jr.]

Tied things up with MATT OUTTA HELL!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Gsellman cover is much better (tighter focus much better picture) AND it comes with a Harvey dig! Plus you see the MFYs got embarrased. I can't believe this one is so close!

[Edgy MD]

Agreed.

Gsellman's locks and beard generally give me a kind of awkward feel with him, like he's a counterfeit deGrom. But when he gets that intense rah-rah game face going, his look suddenly feels authentic, and the photog totally captured that.

Yeah. I don't really get the Matt Outta Hell one. I mean, it's kinda cool in that the ball looks like it's floating. But then yeah.

"MATT OUTTA HELL" is a sharp headline in search of a story.

"Mom! I wanted a deGrom!"
"Isn't that what this is?"
"No, it's a Gsellman. It's not even close."
"It has the baseball suit and hat and hair. I don't see any difference."
"You just don't understand."
"Go wash your hands. They're filthy from playing with your Daniel Murphy."
"It's a David Murphy."

The seventh poll of the third round has now closed, and the New York Post's GSELL THE MAN! has severed our final connection with Matt Harvey, as MATT OUTTA HELL is now eliminated.

The Post had only two covers among the 22 that emerged from the first round, and now as we approach the Final Four, both of those covers survive. It's good news/bad news for the Post: They're now guaranteed to have one, and only one, of their covers in the Final Four, as fate has determined that GSELL THE MAN! will face off against the only other remaining Post cover, SWEEP SNAKES, in the next round.

[Centerfield]

Some surprise results (not this one necessarily) this year.

A lot of covers I thought would be finalists are gone. And others like Sweep Snakes, just keeps chugging.
