Well, it starts here. It starts now. It starts in St. Louis, where the very best baseball of 2015 has been played on a consistent basis, it starts against a Cardinals team that, save for the occasional difficulty in keeping its fingertips off another team’s data operating system, does just about everything right.
It starts with 10 games in 10 days against the three best teams in the National League, the three division leaders, the Cardinals and the Nationals and the Dodgers, 10 days that will go a long way toward defining who the Mets really are.
