New SI Cover

by Medford5 on May 21, 2008 3:33 PM EDT

May 26, 2008 - Bottom-feeders are powerhouses, powerhouses are bottom-feeders and obscure players have cartoonish stats.

This is pretty cool. Pencils by MarkBagley, inks by Karl Story and colors by Alex Sinclair. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=16497 ... this a link to the story of how this cover came about. I like the creativity of SI on the D-Rays Yankees Bizzaro World. I don't know how it could be incorporated regularly but I would be interested in seeing what else DC Comics and Sports Illustrated could come up with.

Curse of SI...

Who’s the first Ray to go down with a massive injury?

I’ll say Upton. No real reason why, but bad tings follow SI covers. Just ask Nomar.

Manny ain't the only bad man.

Dispatches from Bizarro world.

“Me Alex Rodriguez. Me best player ever. Me help my team win in the playoffs. Me take salary cut . Me never get injured, especially not in first year of contract extension. Me franchise player.”
“We Yankees! Build from our farm system. Pitching and defense win! No need offense when triumvirate pitch shutouts. Joba going to be ace and closer!”

“Look! Up in the standings! It’s a Bird! It’s a Sock! It’s the Devil Rays!”

The odd thing is

That in Bizarro world Derek Jeter actually plays the SS position well.

He had very few last year

Not sure what’s going on with Lugo this year.
