 
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?

Gl@v!ne gone. Mota gone. Now the generally unlistenable Tom McCarthy has packed up his microphone for Philadelphia, where, if his slowness on the draw remains true to form, the Phillies will be clinching the 2007 N.L. East any minute now. These are marvelous consolation prizes, I tell you what. I wasn't a fan of McCarthy's. Nothing personal, […] The players were confident in mid-September. • “I can't see how we can lose unless we all drop dead,” declared one of the pitchers. • “I don't see how we can lose unless everything goes wrong,” the starting catcher predicted. • “I think we'll win now,” was the future Hall of Famer's verdict. • “We will walk in,” enthused […]  8 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Excellent Addition to Your Baseball Library, New York Giants I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you — kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save […] First Glavine, now Mota. Gone and gone! Ohmigod, what have we done to deserve this? Not having to root any longer for two guys I and, I suspect, most of us never wanted on the Mets must be like when your sentence is suspended by a kindly judge or president. It’s a Get Out Of […] AP reports Tom Glavine, last seen walking off the Shea Stadium mound after surrendering five of eventually seven runs after hitting Dontrelle Willis with the bases loaded in the first inning of the final game of the year with the National League Eastern Division title on the line, is going back to Atlanta for good. […] This weekend, in honor of November 17 being Tom Seaver’s 63rd birthday, we offer you the following eleven pitchers… Kevin Brown (not to be confused with the Kevin Brown who hit the wall for the Yankees in 2004 or the Kevin Brown who pitched two innings for the Mets in 1990), Ron Darling, Sid Fernandez, Wes […] 18 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1984 Mets, Compensation Pool, Disappointment, Frank Cashen, Ron Gardenhire, Team History, Tom Seaver, Tom Seaver's Birthday There was about a five-second window when all was right with the New York Mets, when Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden wore Met uniforms together. This was June 6, 1987, the day after Gooden returned from drug rehab to beat the Pirates and the day Seaver began his final attempt at pitching after injury and […] After his wildly wonderful 1983 homecoming, it was a kick in the gut (and probably lower) to watch Tom Seaver say goodbye a second time after a rightfully downcast Frank Cashen left him unprotected in the monstrosity known as the free agent compensation pool in January of ’84. The Chicago White Sox chose Tom Terrific to […] Comments closed | | Print This Post | 1984 Mets, Dennis Lamp, Frank Cashen, Tom Seaver, Tom Seaver's Birthday It was so great to have Tom Seaver come home again on April 5, 1983, almost six seasons beyond the wretched trade that turned him into an ex-Met. |
