The grounds crew really needs to check the turf at Olympic Stadium. Game 4 featured 7(!) Expo errors as Mets nemesis Frank Tanana had all of his karma come back to bite him at once. We also tagged Steve Rogers with his first loss against the Mets ever. I think the NL East race is going to be a barnburner this season.
