Matt Harvey delivered for the Mets last night as they took a 1-0 lead over the Cubs in the NLCS. I like David Price fine but wasn’t sorry to see a 3-0 lead go down the drain as the Royals rallied to beat the Jays. K.C. reminds me of the ’90s Yankee teams. Yeah, they can hit homers but mostly, they’ll nickel-and-dime you to death–a walk, a single, a double, a steal. Make a mistake against them and usually you’ll pay.
It’s cold in New York and tonight will be football weather at Citi Field.
In the meantime, enjoy the afternoon.

Alex, I'm sure you noticed that the Coen Brothers wrote the screenplay for the new Speilberg, Hanks movie. Mark Rylance as Rudolph Abel steals the show.
