2015 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.1.2 Mar 2 through Mar 15

[Benjamin Grimm]

Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days.

David Wright sets the tone for a winning season.

Noah Syndergaard takes a poorly timed lunch break.

Fred Wilpon chats with Terry Collins about "areas of concern".

Zack Wheeler has a tender elbow and will be getting an MRI.

[Ceetar]

I find myself picking the 'least bad' one so far.

Also some damn poor photoshopping on some of these.

[Edgy MD]

These ones stink, compared to the prior batch. Lots of forced puns, some bad photoshopping, and copious overselling the sidebar story of the Synderlunch.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Slapped, Fred, Reality for me this round.
Slapped for the headline not the crappy Photoshop work. Jeez, we
have a half dozen more talented photofixers here.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I voted for YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT and THIS JUST GOT WHEEL.

Both mainly because the selected photo went well with the theme.

PITCH SLAPPED is awful. (Although it currently holds a slim lead.) Cute idea, perhaps, but really amateur photoshopping.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

FRED ALERT! Love it.

[RealityChuck]

The quality of puns in the tabloids has gone way down.

to be fair so far we've only really gotten the Spring Training filler stuff.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Mets should use YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT at every turn. The Mets should HAVE been using YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT at every turn.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I would've voted for Fred Alert even if there was no picture to go with the text.

[Benjamin Grimm]

But the fact that they chose a photo of him sneering makes it all the better.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When you need gappers, inside-out?
PANTS!
Who is the man, who would risk his spine for a Grandy Man?
PANTS!
You're damn Wright.

Food fight

[Fman99]

These are all terrible in at least one way, between the caption, the photos, or the stories behind them. The only one I voted for is 'YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT.'

[Zvon]

Everyone is going to pick YOU'RE DAMN WRIGHT,....I hope.

I almost picked PITCH SLAPPED because of the bad photoshopping. I have no doubt that that was put on a graphic artist in this fashion:
"I need Wright holding Thor in a headlock and I need it in 10 minutes for the front page!"

If it didn't go down like that the graphic people there really suck and I hope that's not the case. I could use a good job.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I figured that the bad headlock photoshop was done intentionally, for effect. What effect? I'm not sure.
