The Mets and Cardinals wrapped up a three-game series on Wednesday in St. Louis with the home side taking the rubber match via an 11th-inning walk-off. Cardinals pitchers were able to hold the Mets to just a single run over the last 23 innings of action between the two clubs and it's possible the team is destined for a surprisingly competent year if its young talent develops ahead of expected pace. The announced attendance for the series finale at Busch Stadium was 21,684 people, perfectly respectable for a mid-week matinee.
On the Mets broadcast, play-by-play voice Gary Cohen had a pressing question about the city as a whole.
