 
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?

[T]he ending always comes at last The Mets began this baseball season by playing the Florida Marlins. They suffered their first loss while playing the Florida Marlins. They absorbed their first serious body blow when they were swept by the Florida Marlins. They […]  14 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Baseball Etiquette, Beaky Buzzard, Bugs Bunny, Dan Uggla, Gaby Sanchez, Gary Carter, Jerry Manuel, Joe Torre, Jon Niese, Marlins, Mets Managers, Mike Francesa, Mike Pelfrey, Mike Stanton, Soilmaster Stadium, Wally Backman One of the sadder things about elimination day is how you now know you’re going to have to wait another year for the possibility — and nothing more — that you’ll finally get those things you spend the offseason wishing for and the balance of the season rooting for. Elimination comes along and you’re forced […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2010 Mets, 2011 Mets, Bad News Bears, Mathematically Eliminated, Mets Fans SNY gets back in the memory business Thursday evening at 6:30 with the debut of Mets Yearbook: 1967, celebrating the major league debuts of Joe Moock, Al Schmelz, Les Rohr, Billy Wynne and…I think I’m leaving somebody out. Oh, terrific, I can’t come up with the name. Easy to lose track of all those 1967 Mets, […] From the Department of the Painfully Obvious, the New York Mets have been eliminated from postseason contention following their 5-2 loss to the Florida Marlins. Time of death: 9:38 PM EDT, but really, they’ve been done since Puerto Rico. Record before San Juan: 43-32. Record from San Juan on: 31-45. Autumnal equinox is tomorrow night. Very […] Lucas Duda just blasted one out of Whatever It’s Called Stadium, his second homer, meaning Club Hessman loses yet another temporary member. Population of One Met Homer Village: 69 again. If only it was ’69 again. In other updating-type news, the war of attrition has claimed another victim: Bobby Parnell, out for the season with inflammation and […] 3 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Bobby Parnell, Injuries, Lucas Duda, Mike Hessman, Unhealthy Obsession with Mike Hessman With our friends at Citizens Bank Park frantically waving white towels, the Atlanta Braves surrendered a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, reducing the Braves’ tenuous Wild Card lead over the New York Mets to a paltry 11½ games — 11 in the loss column. The Mets have 12 games remaining, Atlanta 11. For the Mets […] Come back Pirates! We promise we’ll show up! We’ll even clear the tornadoes out of the area for you! Drat the luck that we had to play a good team with something on the line this weekend. For 24 dreamy hours before the Braves replaced the Pirates on the Citi Field scoreboard’s top half, we were […] The Mets will honor Bobby Cox today, and that is right and proper. Cox, set to retire whenever the Braves stop playing in 2010, has more wins managed under his name, including those from which he was ejected before completion, than all but three men in major league history. Enough of them came at the […] In case you missed it this fine Saturday, Luis Hernandez hit his second Met home run, a shot under the Porch off Tim Hudson, happily booting him from Club Hessman barely two weeks after he first showed up there. Impressive enough, but he did it after fouling a ball off his foot and being attended […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Darryl Strawberry, Home Runs, Kirk Gibson, Luis Hernandez The Mets got to see how the other half lives, dies and resurrects itself Friday night. The Mets got to see what it’s like for a team to be fighting for its playoff life. The Mets got a real good look because, except for one half-inning, they were mostly spectators. Remember pennant races and the Mets’ […] 3 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Also-Ran, Bobby Cox, Braves, Frustration, Lucas Duda, Mike Hessman, Spoiler |
