 
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?

You may have noticed the New York Mets played no postseason games in 2025. To compensate for our favorite team’s autumnal shortfall, we are happy to have harvested a bushel of postseason Mets games as a coda to the completion of the most recent World Series…even if none of them is from 2025.

Edwin Diaz wasn’t quite so quick on the withdraw; he’d have to […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Business, Edwin Diaz, Frustration, Fun, Most Valuable Met, Performance, Pete Alonso The Mets didn’t play ball in October, and I learned to be OK with that, despite dedicating my waking hours from late March through late September to their ultimately insufficient quest to play ball in October. Maturity being what it is, I grew distant enough from the grating, granular shortfalls of the 2025 season to […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2025 Postseason, Blue Jays, Diner, Dodgers, World Series, World Series Ending Offseason’s greetings everyone! Hope you enjoyed the World Series, and aren’t too anxious yet about who will be next to employ Pete Alonso, Edwin Diaz or both. There’ll be time for that, promise.
