Blue Skies Smiling at Met
by Greg Prince on 31 March 2009 11:44 pm 
Sports Illustrated just picked us to win the World Series, yet failed to place David Wright prominently on its cover. Perhaps we should be grateful that the mythic jinx has been averted, though SI granted Diamond Dave an upper right corner snipe (CC Sabathia took up most of the rest of the space…which is a true-to-life portrayal, one supposes). But let’s give it up for The Sporting News, which didn’t pick the Mets to go all the way, but at least understands how to get attention on a newsstand.

Thanks a lot, S.I.
We're frikken DO O M E D !!!!
Y'know, I wasn't expecting a WS this year. I was thinking more along the lines of 83 wins and a third place finish. But there's always HOPE buried in there.
Well, SI just killed that. Thanks, jerks.
