 
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?

They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. They start Clemens, you start Perez. That's the Met way. In five games this season against the despised Braves and the detested Yankees — the intersection of haunting nightmares and the uncontrollable shakes — Ollie's […] Grant would be gone not all that long after June 15, 1977. And Tom would be remembered always. Saving our Mets, however, would take a while. If you’re still trying to make sense out of a senseless act thirty years after the fact, then it’s Flashback Friday at Faith and Fear in Flushing. The Mets seem to be mired in utter disarray as we speak, losers of five in a row, nine of their last ten, all four of their most recent […] Good evening. Today is Wednesday, September the 24th, and this is my last broadcast. Yesterday I announced on this program that I was going to commit public suicide, admittedly an act of madness. Well, I'll tell you what happened: I just ran out of bullshit. Am I still on the air? It's not the Howard Beale spiel […] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: We Win (Again) by Greg on Wed 26 Sep 2007 04:32 AM And who among us didn't begin to lose Faith during that dreadful first Dodger series coming on the heels of that dreadful Tiger series coming on the heels of that dreadful Phillie series coming on the heels of that dreadful […] One by one, the Superfriends are reconnoitering at the Hall of Justice better known as the Mets' lineup. Valentin…Green…can Alou be far behind? He can? So much for the “they're all getting healthy” theory. But we'll take who we can get among the Roosevelt Avenue regulars. OJ was a sight for sore eyes and a balm for […] Count me among those who liked — or didn't hate — the Sopranos ending. I found it effective if not brilliant, sort of Glavinesque in that respect (if you don't use yesterday afternoon as a reference point). I've read some astounding vitriol on various TV sites about the need to string up David Chase and/or […] 10-3 after five. Glavine taking a shot at 300 losses. Runners on third don't go home nearly enough. I have a headache. Edited to add: 15-7 after nine. Smith is out of pixie dust. Six runners in position to score in fact did not. My headache was about gone before I began to think about this game again. So I shall stop doing […] From the third inning of Tuesday’s game until the fifth inning of Saturday’s game, the Mets scored a total of nine runs. They came on a solo homer, a groundout to second, three consecutive solo homers, a solo homer, another solo homer, a sac fly and a catcher’s two-base throwing error. That means when Jose […] If you’re flipping through channels and come upon a rerun you haven’t watched in a long time, then it must be Flashback Friday at Faith and Fear in Flushing. No fictional character in the popular culture — not Sidd Finch, not Chico Escuela, not Oscar Madison — has done more to enhance the Metropolitan legend than […]  13 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1987 Mets, Expos, Flashback Friday, Mets Pop Culture, Olympic Stadium, Seinfeld |
