 
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?

A decision to listen on the radio because things are going well for his team while avoiding the TV. That’s baseball.

R-Bar I can’t get enough of Gary Cohen in the course of a game. Except for when I know he shouldn’t have just said what he just said.

Ollie is being […] 15 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Gary Cohen, Intrinsic Sense of Doom, Jay Bruce, Laynce Nix, Oliver Perez, SNY It was billed in some quarters as a battle of aces. Ours slipped out of the deck in the fourth inning. Theirs ran the table, collected the pot and was home in plenty of time for Cops. So much for Pelfrey vs. Halladay.

I’ll go with the second first. It was the bottom of the sixth Tuesday night, second game of the doubleheader.
