  1. Winner of Round 1.0.6 GLORY JAYS! New York Post, April 20, 2017. Jay Bruce hits two homers and drives in all five runs as the Mets defeat the Phillies 5-4. Winner of Round 1.0.14 THANK YOU, CARDS Newsday, July 21, 2017. A walk-off single by Jose Reyes gives the Mets a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals at Citi Field.
  2. Hopefully neither of them was injured in the collision.
  3. Winner of Round 1.0.9 HARVEY WALLBANGERS Newsday, May 13, 2017. Matt Harvey gets clobbered by the Brewers in Milwaukee. Winner of Round 1.0.11 HERE WE YO! New York Daily News, June 10, 2017. Yoenis Cespedes is about to return from the Disabled List for a June series vs. Atlanta.
  4. That too!
  5. Interesting that a guy with a name that's very similar to that of the guy who sailed in 1492 will be playing for a team with a Native American themed name.
  6. I wonder how many Schaefer points Seth Beer might be able to earn?
  7. That Cleveland uniform is a handicap that TAB CALLOWAY will have a hard time overcoming. TAB won the first round by only one vote, over the News' HI MICKEY!, which would have had a better chance here.
  8. Winner of Round 1.0.16 TAB CALLOWAY New York Daily News, October 23, 2017. The Mets select Cleveland pitching coach Mickey Calloway as their new manager. Winner of Round 1.0.5 TRESPEDES New York Daily News, April 12, 2017. Yoenis Cespedes hits three home runs in a 14-4 win over the Phillies in Philadelphia.
  9. First-round voting is now complete, with three more covers being added to the group of sixteen finalists. Our field now consists of six covers each from The Daily News and Newsday, and four from the New York Post. This year marks Newsday's best showing in the Sweet Sixteen. In 2015, at this point we had eight covers from the Post, five from the News, and three from Newsday. In 2016, it was nine from the News, five from Newsday, and only two from the Post. (One of those two Post covers, SEEDS OF LIFE, did make it to the final round.) This year, for the first time, all finalists are arranged in one large bracket, ranked from 1 to 16 based on percentage of votes received in their first-round poll. The second-round polls will be posted on each of the next eight business days. After this, we'll have our Elite Eight and we'll take a break for the holidays. Round three, which will determine the much-coveted Final Four rankings, will begin in early January.
  10. I never figured he'd be a Met, so seeing both New York teams ruled out is actually good news, because the Yankees always seemed more likely. I'd like to see him go to Seattle.
  11. Back page headlines in both the News and the Post: YANK AARON Newsday has BLAST FROM THE PAST
  12. Please give it another try.
  13. Probably a coincidence. Get O(h)tani in a room with Mickey Callaway and he'll be begging to join the Mets.
  14. Well, pitchers do pinch-hit and pinch-run. But Syndergaard is a good example. Would the Mets ever consider using him as a DH in an American League game? Maybe. We have a manager right now who's pretty much a blank slate at this point.
  15. Thanks for letting me know! I'll take a look when I get a chance as part of my ongoing effort to make the world less sad.
  16. Anyone care to break the tie between TAB CALLOWAY and HI MICKEY ?
  17. I read today that they'll be interviewing Carlos Beltran for the Yankees job.
  18. Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days. ARMS DEAL Newsday, October 23, 2017. TAB CALLAWAY New York Daily News, October 23, 2017. MICK OR TREAT New York Post, October 23, 2017. PEOPLE PERSON Newsday, October 24, 2017. HI, MICKEY! New York Daily News, October 24, 2017. MICKEY IN THE HOUSE New York Post, October 24, 2017. THE GUY HAD "IT" New York Daily News, October 26, 2017. CHANGEUP Newsday, November 11, 2017. SHO' DOWN New York Daily News, November 15, 2017.

  19. The third week of voting was abbreviated due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Three more covers have now advanced to the Sweet Sixteen, bringing the total number of second-round entries to 13. The winners so far are pretty evenly distributed among the three publications, with five from the Daily News and four each from the Post and Newsday. Second-round voting will begin a week from today, on Wednesday, December 6.

  21. Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days. ALL ABOARD! Newsday, August 14, 2017. DRUBWAY SERIES Newsday, August 18, 2017. IT'S OUR CITI New York Post, August 18, 2017. NOT AGAIN! New York Daily News, August 29, 2017. 86ED New York Daily News, September 13, 2017.

New York Daily News, October 6, 2017.
  22. I don't know what it would take for the Mets to get Stanton, but I doubt it would include Cespedes, for two reasons: His salary and his no-trade clause. I imagine the Marlins want cheap young talent in return.
  23. Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days. BLAST LAUGH Newsday, July 8, 2017. THANK YOU, CARDS Newsday, July 21, 2017. WIL THE THRILL! Newsday, July 23, 2017. WHO'S CRYIN' NOW! New York Daily News, July 23, 2017. WIL TO WIN New York Post, July 23, 2017.

  24. Well, if by some miracle everyone is healthy, I would say that Montero might be as low as eighth on the starting pitcher depth chart, behind deGrom, Syndergaard, Harvey, Matz, Wheeler, Gsellman, and Lugo.
