We’re all aware that Nolan Ryan is taking part (albeit from very good seats in the stands) in his first World Series since 1969. But were you aware that if the Rangers prevail then he’ll be in an exclusive club of 1969 Mets alumni? How exclusive? So exclusive it doesn’t include Tom Seaver. Read all […]
 
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?

We are on the cusp of the Blessedly Likable World Series, featuring two teams that carry little baggage in our weary eyes. We’re not rooting against anybody; instead we’re choosing between the team that took out the Yankees and the team that took out the Phillies. How can we not like both of them? Pulling back […]  19 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  2010 Postseason, Giants, Rangers, Suffering, Vic Ziegel Mets fans will be nobody’s World Series sidebar in 2010, and that’s all right by me. Not The Yankees qualified Friday night. Not The Phillies sealed the deal Saturday night. The Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants deserve a dual round of applause from all of us for making us happily irrelevant over the next […] I can’t believe they walked somebody to get to you. Not The Yankees got the job done. Congratulations Texas Rangers for coming into your own. Congratulations to my favorite player who’s never been a Met, who — had free agency been more wisely deployed in the winter of 2004 — could have been a […] 17 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2010 Postseason, Elimination Day, Expos, Not The Yankees, Rangers, Vladimir Guerrero Oh, we didn’t think it would be easy, did we? We diehard Not The Yankees and Not The Phillies fans didn’t really believe our favorite teams would put away their opposition in five fussless games, did we? Would have been nice, though. Yes, it would have been outstanding if Not The Yankees could have flown home to […] Hi, I’m a New York Mets fan, and I count among my favorite players of the past 24 hours Pat Burrell, Cody Ross, Matt Cain and a catcher named Molina who came to New York dressed in gray and struck a mighty home run over a left field fence. Quite obviously baseball for a Mets fan […] 22 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2006 NLCS, 2010 Postseason, A.J. Burnett, Anniversaries, Bengie Molina, Cody Ross, Endy Chavez, Matt Cain, Michael Kay, Oliver Perez, Pat Burrell Tough break for Andy Pettitte, who pitched a fine game Monday night. Cliff Lee pitched a monster game. Monster wins. Still, nice outing for Pettitte, a very good pitcher who’s acquitted himself well in many postseason games since coming to the big leagues fifteen years ago. But now he might not make the Hall of Fame.
