The cover that wins this poll will be the Group Three champion and will advance to the Final Four.

Very, very tough. Drawing first blood versus the nail in the coffin.

Gonna brew on this one a while.

The thrill of it all for me.

I voted against capital thrill the first time around and I did it again. There's just something about it I don't like, but I'm not sure what it is. Plus, the nail in the coffin thingie works for me.

That's kind of what makes it tough. If the covers themselves were a wash, I'd definitely take Wright for sentimental reasons over Cespedes.

But I feel like that DN cover is just much, much better. The headline, the armband, Granderson's expression. The whole thing is so second half 2015. Plus I don't like the Harvey tidbit on "Capital".

The mask guy on Yes-Pedes freaks me out a bit. I assume that's a Nats fan? I don't remember if the picture made sense at the time, but right now it looks kinda creepy and out of place.

On Edit: Plus I love that we could confidently state that the Nats were dead since the lead had reached 7. Obviously, that's a special number for us. I like how it shows that we had incredible confidence in the team, and we were saying fuck you to any possibility of a collapse.

That pic of The Captain gets the nod and might everytime with me. Being 7 games up was bigger, event wise, but show me that pic of Wright howlin at the Nat fans and I am deaf & blind to all else.
