 
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?

Clinch today. Clinch in Pittsburgh. Clinch in front of Xavier Nady. Clinch in front of Jeromy Burnitz. Clinch in front of Ty Wigginton and Marvell Wynne and Tim Foli and anybody else who used to be a Met. Clinch and send them a check. Clinch today. Clinch on your own. Or clinch by the hand of […] There are 15 teams who are National League opponents of the Mets. If you're trying to list them, I'll bet I know which one you tend to forget. There are 15 teams who are National League opponents of the Mets. If you’re trying to list them, I’ll bet I know which one you tend to forget. The Pirates have faded so far from their glories of the ’70s and early ’90s, become such a non-factor in the competitive scheme of things and, most relevantly, […] MY LOVELY WIFE: So, no champagne tonight? MY LOVELY WIFE: So, no champagne tonight? ME: Well, we could if the Phillies lose. MY LOVELY WIFE: Or we could have some and buy some more tomorrow. Welcome to Flashback Friday, a weekly feature devoted to the 20th anniversary of the 1986 World Champion New York Mets. Twenty years. Forty-three Fridays. This is one of them. Two of the many things I didn’t know much about in 1986 were blank VHS cassettes and domestic champagne. But I knew I needed both. It was […]  8 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1986 Division Clinching, 1986 Mets, Flashback Friday Chuck James is so The Man.

They couldn’t win one lousy game from the Phillies to facilitate our clinching. But so what? Our continuous demoralization of the Fish — poor babies — is plenty for 2 nights. And watching Turner Field in September of 2006 resemble a very depressed Shea Stadium from September […] Bellowed unironically a few minutes ago for the first time since the 1996 World Series: GO BRAVES! Atlanta's up 5-0 in the the 3rd in the opener of a doubleheader. Kyle Davies has homered. Two wins for them and one for us tonight and magic gets a whole lot more magical. Still don't like them, but who cares? They're […] It had only been two lousy losses since the previous Mets win, but it felt fairly major that the Mets asserted themselves in Florida.
