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?

Welcome to The Happiest Recap, a solid gold slate of New York Mets games culled from every schedule the Mets have ever played en route to this, their fiftieth year in baseball. We’ve created a dream season consisting of the “best” 67th game in any Mets season, the “best” 68th game in any Mets season, […]  19 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1970 Mets, 1997 Mets, 2003 Mets, Dave Mlicki, Fiftieth Anniversary, Jae Seo, Joe Foy, Team History, The Happiest Recap Why have the Chicago White Sox never visited the New York Mets? I hold no brief for the White Sox as currently constituted and, save for a few personal and historical attachments, have no surpassing interest in the White Sox any more than I do the Angels, whom we just saw, or the Athletics, whom we […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Interleague Play, Team History, Unsolved Mysteries, White Sox No Braves. No balk. No lead blown. No comeback dashed. No sense of drama, really, until the ninth, and then no drama. Nothing like Thursday night’s manic Holy Hellfest, so named per what I just kept muttering to myself over and over and over as I pieced together what happened to K-Rod by intermittent earbud […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Angels, Chris Capuano, Heck, Jordan Walden, Torpor Welcome to The Happiest Recap, a solid gold slate of New York Mets games culled from every schedule the Mets have ever played en route to this, their fiftieth year in baseball.

He noticed Dana had a date scheduled well in advance to read from his books Mets Fan and The Last Days of Shea at the Tappan Library in Rockland County, not far from where Howard lives. Wouldn’t it be something, Howard suggested, […] I’m pretty sure Jose Reyes gave me a Metgasm Tuesday night. It was in the top of the sixth when, with Ruben Tejada on second, Jair Jurrjens threw his 2-1 pitch high and tight at Jose, pushing our Met of Mets off the plate. Since they had obviously just waxed the dirt at Turner Field, Jose […] Welcome to The Happiest Recap, a solid gold slate of New York Mets games culled from every schedule the Mets have ever played en route to this, their fiftieth year in baseball.

What do you mean you’ve lived this long without eight discs that include each game of that blessed Fall Classic (yes, even the losses use Games 1, 2 & 5 as coasters or give them to your cats) plus […] The debut of Mets Yearbook: 1977 somehow eluded me last week, but luckily I noticed it was coming on after Sunday’s game and learned it will be repeated Tuesday afternoon at 1:30, so consider this your DVR alert.
