Jason Maoz of the Jewish Press recently published a heartfelt appreciation of all baseball has meant to him since the summer Tom Seaver (the Matt Harvey of his day, I hear) began to illuminate our landscape.

Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans.

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?

And God said, Let the frozen waters from the heaven be melted unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Target Field; and the grouping together of the opponents he called Twins: and God saw that they weren’t so good. And God said, Let Harvey bring […]  16 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  John Buck, Justin Morneau, Matt Harvey, No-Hit Bids, Target Field, Twins, Ungodly Stuff Just trade Jordany Valdespin so we can get to the part where the Mets gave up on him too soon. When he has a good game or a string of them or, for all we know, a career of them, we can just throw the Valdespin trade on the pile with Jeff Kent and Jeromy […] The Mets taking it to Roy Halladay is a great thing. I’m not sure that’s who they beat up Monday night, however. That couldn’t have been the Roy Halladay who gave the Mets and the rest of the National League fits in 2010 and 2011 after owning the American League for years prior. This was the […] 9 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Daniel Murphy, John Buck, Matt Harvey, Phillies, Roy Halladay It’s the golden hour for John Buck right now, that fleeting interregnum when the journeyman is master craftsman. It is a time to be savored. John Buck drives in nine runs in five games, four of them in his fifth game to propel the Mets to a Saturday victory. John Buck draws a roughing the catcher penalty […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | John Buck, Juan Pierre, Mark Gastineau, Mets Catchers We may lose and we may win And I said to myself, this is the business we’ve chosen.

The world’s been goin’ on a long time, right? It’s probably gonna go on a long time.” Two long-running dramatic television series I watched from beginning to end over the past decade (Six Feet Under and Big Love) concluded with […] I’ll be fortunate enough to be watching somewhat up close and personal in Flushing today, but for those who aren’t among the 42,000 or so who will account for yet another of those magical Citi Field attendance records management is so fond of periodically revealing, the New York Mets will be on TV in one […] 9 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Johnny Murphy, Mettle the Mule, Sandy Alderson, Utter Foolishness Oh, it’s time to start livin’ “Hey Greg.” Come Monday, the Mets are slated to introduce nine men who’ve never been Mets before. When the names Scott Atchison, John Buck, Greg Burke, Marlon Byrd, Collin Cowgill, Latroy Hawkins, Brandon Lyon, Anthony Recker and Scott Rice are called, I’ll applaud because they are now part of my team. Some may disappear from the roster […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2013 Mets, Bobby Smith, Moment of Silence, The Spinners |
