This is going to be a REALLY tough series. I'm glad we are opening up with Harvey.

Masterpiece performance by Harvey, no win for him though. He had runners in scoring position multiple times and got out of the jams.

Familia with his first blown-save, but it didn't result in a loss.

Mayberry with the clutch hit. So Kirk is definitely gone if the Mets are shopping for a better bench bat. Not even sure why he comes on as a pinch hitter. The pitchers bat better than him. Finding a different pinch hitter who bats .200 rather than .090 will make a big difference.

I think the story in this game - after Harvey's performance - is the 4 inning relief performances of The Torres Brothers and Erik Goeddell, who I really like a lot. They held the Cardinal lineup down while we finally eeked out a run to win it.

I too am liking what I am seeing from Goeddell. So far, so good for him.

And I jinxed it. He get's his first ERs of the season. I swear, I'm done making posts like this.

If this series was a giant game, we would be losing 20-4

There we go DeGrom!
