Jason Fry is a Brooklyn writer whose first memories include his mom leaping up and down cheering for Rusty Staub. Check out his other writing here. Got something to say?

Between those two things, the Mets receded into a vague, distant unpleasantness, like a civil war in another hemisphere. I read Greg’s recaps and saw highlights, but I was spared the endless, metered doses [...] 17 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Blue Jays, Injuries, Jeff Wilpon, John Maine, Omar Minaya, Stupidity |
