St Louis Cardinals  6  New York Mets  4

Mets' desire to make an impact this season has not had a magical start so far and people are beginning to question the ability of the team as a whole to produce what is expected of it. Indeed, the press is fanning the flame as we speak and the skipper, Jerry Manuel, in particular, faces grilling by the reporters of the New York's tabloids if this series is lost. Certainly, the manager and his team are under the spotlight at this moment as their effort produced on the field on playing has not been good enough and the fans are starting to cast aspersions on their ability to bring the bacon home. Final score:  Cardinals   6    Mets   4.
