It's David Wright vs. Noah Syndergaard. The winner gets to advance to the Final Four and enjoy the privilege of eating a sandwich in the clubhouse during spring training. The loser goes into the recycling bin.

Seeds, look at Uncle Bartolo's face... gonna miss him...

[Benjamin Grimm]

This was an easy one for me. SEEDS OF LIFE is unique and fun. SULTAN OF SWAAT is a cluttered mess.

[Centerfield]

I went with Seeds. It's an imperfect cover, but it was a terrific moment. Final Four material for me.

I really don't like the orange "SUNDAY SPORTS" headline. It's unnecessary and only serves to take away from the picture.

SEEDS OF LIFE, the lone remaining New York Post cover, has advanced to our Final Four, and will face off against yesterday's winner, METS IN A LANDSLIDE on Thursday for the right to advance to the final round.

The Post, overall, has not done well this year, with only two covers advancing to the Sweet Sixteen and only one to the Elite Eight, but thanks to the tenacity of SEEDS OF LIFE, it still has a chance to win this thing.

SULTAN OF SWAAT's loss, combined with yesterdays loss for HAMMERS & THOR, results in the back-to-back elimination of the two remaining Noah Syndergaard covers.
