  1. 1968 Defeated the 2012 cover in Round 1.27 1986 Defeated the 1993 cover in Round 1.25
  2. Uh oh! I hope they don't declare a mistrial, because I don't want to have to start this whole thing over again!
  3. Those commercials where Jerry Blevins awkwardly tries to seduce Paul Seward are... odd.
  4. I hope this is how Giancarlo Stanton's career plays out.
  5. This poll also opened today, but has only half the votes: Yearbook Cover Derby Round 2.05 1963 vs 1989 rev Going forward, we'll be seeing two new polls each day, at least through the remainder of Round Two and through the end of Round Three.
  6. I think I may be voting for SPLAT HARVEY in November.
  7. They probably shouldn't have asked Jason Vargas to mentor him.
  8. 1976 Defeated the 2004 cover in Round 1.09 1978 Defeated the 2001 cover in Round 1.08
  9. 1963 Defeated the 2017 cover in Round 1.05 1989 Revised Edition Defeated the 1990 Revised Edition cover in Round 1.01
  10. A Boy Named Seo wrote: Yeah, you're prob right, although my heart tells me the Rangers try to get him. Maybe they don't wanna bid against 5 teams looking to sign him at the minimum and are willing to make a small trade. Sad that the Matt Harvey era ends with me hoping we can land an afterthought PTBNL type guy for him. I suppose a trade can happen if the Mets agree to pay a big chunk of the remaining salary. And why shouldn't they? They're going to have to eat it anyway so they might as well get something in return.
  11. I doubt that a trade will be made. Whoever trades for Harvey will owe him something like $5 million. I expect teams would rather wait until he's released outright and then they can pay him the major-league minimum.
  12. This is the right move. I am... pleased.
  13. And I couldn't give an oboist's fuck!
  14. I don't agree with the notion that spending time with Tim Tebow will necessarily make someone more Tim Tebow-like. I doubt that it would have that kind of impact on me, although I like the imagery of Matt Harvey and Tim Tebow praying with hookers. And I also don't think it's fair to say that Matt Harvey is "squandering his God-given talents." This isn't a Doc Gooden thing here. Harvey's talents appear to be gone, through no fault of his own. He may not be handling his current situation like a big boy, but that's a different story.
  15. John Harper is calling for Harvey's release in the Daily News today. He says that the Mets' reluctance to release Harvey is out of fear that the Yankees will pick him up and he'll be a star pitcher for them. I don't think that's the reason at all. I agree that it's about the remaining millions of dollars on Harvey's salary. If they had asked for and heeded my advice, they would have non-tendered Harvey last winter.
  16. I'm afraid I'm going to be challenging your creative writing skills when I accelerate the pace of the YCD starting tomorrow. I'm sure you'll rise to the occasion!
  17. It looks like there's a lot less interest in this thing now that we're in the second round. I'm not going to abandon the project, but I think I might accelerate it so that it wraps up more quickly. Don't be surprised if we start seeing multiple polls introduced each day instead of one at a time.
  18. 1970 is an easy choice in this poll. Meanwhile, these are the other polls that are currently open for voting: Yearbook Cover Derby Round 2.01 1962 vs 1990 orig Yearbook Cover Derby Round 2.02 1977 orig vs 2002 Yearbook Cover Derby Round 2.03 1985 vs 2011
  19. 1970 Defeated the 2010 cover in Round 1.04 1984 Defeated the 1995 cover in Round 1.32
  20. I was one of only two voters for "struggle and be released" and nothing since has changed my mind at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened within a week.
  21. Any updates on Esther Williams?

This is the second best thing that could have happened today. That's definitely a lemons-to-lemonade way to look at it!
