 
Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans. Greg Prince discovered the Mets when he was 6, during the magical summer of 1969. He is a Long Island-based writer, editor and communications consultant. Contact him here. 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?

Get the Mets to a New York hospital. My goodness: If it's not Ryan Church wearing sunglasses indoors because of a concussion, it's Ruben Gotay gimping about on crutches. Read this morning that in order to avoid some chronic problem El Duque is scrapping his leg kick, which is a bit like hearing BMW is taking […] One afternoon five years ago, I'm walking by a desk occupied by a writer for the magazine I was editing in those days. “Hey,” the writer asks amid several sheets of legal pad paper (none of which have anything to do with the magazine we're supposed to be producing), “which uniform number would you guess has […] The periodical to have on tap as you gear up for the coming dream season/injury-riddled debacle is Meet the Mets 2008, 112 pages crammed with “the most in-depth coverage you can get on the Mets”. It offers articles on what went wrong last year, what might go right this year, what awaits down the road in […] Welcome to Flashback Friday: Tales From The Log, a final-season tribute to Shea Stadium as viewed primarily through the prism of what I have seen there for myself, namely 358 regular-season and 13 postseason games to date. The Log records the numbers. The Tales tell the stories. 8/21/98 (1st) F St. Louis 6-5 Nomo […] …and read this. It is Mets By The Numbers' q&a (third part of a three-part series) with longtime beat writer Marty Noble, formerly of Newsday, now with mlb.com. It may be the best and most eclectic history of the New York Mets ever recorded. Kudos to mbtn and its founder, Jon Springer, on beginning a tenth […] Now that Shawn Green has let it be known he won’t be playing baseball for a living any longer, I can let it be known I rooted just a little extra harder for Shawn Green. Not to the point that it clouded my judgment on his decreased offensive output, his limited mobility, his disappearance from the runs […] Your 2008 New York Mets' potential/likely Opening Day roster: CATCHERS (2) Brian Schneider, Ramon Castro. • Givens. INFIELDERS (5) Carlos Delgado, Luis Castillo, Jose Reyes, David Wright, Ruben Gotay. • Gotay's switch-hitting and youth give him a leg up on Jose Valentin for utility infield purposes. OUTFIELDERS (6) Moises Alou, Carlos Beltran, Ryan Church, Endy Chavez, Marlon Anderson, Damion Easley. • Anderson and Easley […] If you've seen Mathematically Alive, the wonderful documentary on the condition known as Mets fandom, you will remember a cat in a hat straight out of Dr. Seuss. That cat, Matt Hoey, is the fellow who made it his business to camp out at Shea days in advance of the first tickets going on sale […] The year is 2018. There is no crime and there are no more wars. Corporations are now the leaders of the world, as well as the controllers of the people. A violent futuristic game known as Rollerball is now the recreational sport of the world, with teams representing various areas competing for the title of […] “It’s like walking across the desert step by step and today he finally got to the oasis.” That's Rick Peterson on Duaner Sanchez getting to pitch today in an intrasquad game, and with all due respect to the Jacket and bridge-potentially-too-far similes, both of which I approve of highly, throwing 25 pitches to teammates wearing hideous […] |
