I'd already forgotten about the deGrom Scare.



It's weird, but its like the headline writers and page designers aren't into it yet by this point of the season either.

[G-Fafif]

When Alonso makes another splash in Atlanta, we'll see if any back page is jazzed enough to call him PETE FOUNTAIN.

dePanic, Fear and Cy of Relief.

"Making the Splash" is romping away with the lead? Really? I guess an "uplifting" cover about Alonso or deGrom or David Wright is gonna get all youse votes even if it's the ugliest cover that ever was. Just put any of those guys on the cover and say something corny right out of a Mary Poppins song and that'll win.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Worth noting: The last two Derby winners were both bad-news covers.

[Edgy MD]

Also worth noting that two of the best here exclusively pheature Phillies in the photo illustrations.



I voted for one of those (RAIN, PAIN, AND INSANE), but it was only circumspection that kept me from clicking both.
