Set your DVRs or just get yourself glued to SNY Friday night at 7:00 for the debut of Mets Yearbook: 1988, the latest installment of the best series on television and the latest one we’ll see in chronological terms. Get ready to revisit the powerhouse Mets who were going to reign for years to come: […]
 
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?

Today is five years since Bernie the Cat was last with us. Right about now, if he were still stationed on the couch, this would be the look from him. It would be easily translated as, “You got me up for this? For four consecutive wins? For Dickey and Takahashi? Wake me when […] When the Mets score eight to win by eight and give me my personal-record eighth victory in a row, you know what that means? I don’t know. But it sure feels good. I’ll take serene eights over the crazy kind any day. When last we saw the Phillies in New York, they were no help whatsoever, ich […]  20 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Bliss, Blue Point Toasted Lager, R.A. Dickey, Raul Valdes I’d like to be not such a hardass toward my team. I’d like to not be so realistic about the tendencies of its individual components. I’d like to like the players I like without not being able to stand them when their performances unequivocally merit disdain. I’d have liked to have been a more steadfast supporter […] The Mets took a lead, held a lead and only made you think it possible, not probable, that they would blow the lead. Progress! A good win for the Mets over the Yankees at Citi Field Saturday night. A good win beats any kind of loss, though I have to say in the fourteenth season of […] 12 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2000 Mets, Al Leiter, Armando Benitez, Beauty, Benny Agbayani, Bobby Valentine, Edgardo Alfonzo, Frankie Rodriguez, Jason Bay, Jenrry Mejia, John Franco, Joy, Mike Piazza, Pain, Rationalization, Rick Reed, Subway Series, Team History, Timo Perez, Turk Wendell, WFAN At the risk of dampening our mutual bout of Toronto Fever (now as well as then), the Subway Series begins anew tonight. Oh man, am I psyched! Or should that come with a question mark? It’s been a little while since SS Friday got my various organs racing. Two years, to be precise. It was already past its […] Welcome to Flashback Friday: Take Me Out to 34 Ballparks, a celebration, critique and countdown of every major league ballpark one baseball fan has been fortunate enough to visit in a lifetime of going to ballgames. BALLPARK: SkyDome I […] This could have been the Angel Pagan Game. You remember the Angel Pagan Game, don’t you? It was in Washington, in May 2010. The Mets had been playing really badly on the road and had dropped into last place. Angel was first-division all the way, though. He made Nyjer Morgan look silly. He made Nyjer […] 19 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Angel Pagan, Inside The Park Home Run, R.A. Dickey, Triple Play Sorry gang. I neglected to mention in the promotion of Amazin’ Tuesday that the Mets tend to lose on Amazin’ Tuesday. Well, they didn’t lose in March, because the season hadn’t started yet, but otherwise, there’s reading, there’s pizza, there’s Met camaraderie like you wouldn’t believe every time we hold one of these things…but there’s […] The setting: Visitors clubhouse, Turner Field Boys, gather round. You’ve got a big game coming up in a few minutes, and I wanna set you all of base monkeys straight. I didn’t fly into Atlanta to fire anybody, no sirree […] 14 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Chaos, Chris Carter, Inspiration, Jeff Wilpon, Mike Pelfrey |
