 
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?

NEW! FROM SHEA-TEL! IT'S THE SMASH-PACKED '70s HITS COLLECTION YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! SINCE MONDAY! YOU'LL GET! John Sebastian's unforgettable Number One theme from “Welcome Back 'Gado!” “Run Jose Run!” by the amazing David Geddes! The stupendous Elton John's “Philadelphia Freedom…At Last!” “Maine Street!” by Boppin' Bob Seger and the Throwing Bullets Band! The lovely ladies of Heart and “Magic Number Man!” “Let Your Runs […] The only entertaining, non-Reyes aspect to Tuesday night's blowout loss (to be confused with Monday's night's blowout loss, but try to keep them separate) was a conversation between Keith and Gary that led to a startling revelation: Keith Hernandez was upset that the Shea DJs That Be blasted “Who Let The Dogs Out?” after the Mets […] Pedro Martinez is on the DL again. Perhaps we should abbreviate it to the PM. Ice that calf, get well and…ah, you know what to do, Pedro. You always do. Heath Bell will be killing time with the Mets until he is allowed to go home to Norfolk. Taking Pedro's place in the rotation will be […] Jose Reyes hit for the cycle in June. It was the first time the Mets ever lost a game in which a Met cycled. Jose Reyes hit three home runs tonight. It was the first time the Mets ever lost a game in which a Met hit three home runs. Jose Reyes will throw the first no-hitter […] You already know Monday night in Philadelphia was a bad dream. Monday morning in my subconscious was just a weird dream. In lieu of anything remotely pleasant to talk about from Monday night, thought I’d let you know about what I dreamt Monday morning. This isn’t a bit. I really had this dream. Stephanie and I, after […] In the past ten games, dating back to the finale in Miami on August 3, the five Mets starting pitchers have thrown 63 innings and given up 21 earned runs. That's an ERA of exactly 3.00. That's not bad. That's not bad at all. I guess we can now officially slide our floating anxiety anvil from above […] Friday night, the whole division gained ground on the Mets. Saturday night, the Mets snatched that ground right back from under them. With a New York win over Washington and losses by Philadelphia, Florida and Atlanta, the Mets' magic number was reduced to increasingly inevitable. John Maine's pet gopher, out to lunch since his doubleheader start […] One of those with whom I shared Mike Piazza’s return to Shea was my friend the “Other” Jason. Photography runs in his family — his father, we’ve deduced, almost certainly printed the original shot of New York centerfield royalty convening in Queens on Old Timers Day 1977, the meeting that inspired Terry Cashman to compose “Willie, Mickey […] We usually trot out this reminder early in the season when we're still adjusting our ballological clocks to the idea that we won't go 162-0, but the bromide is true anytime: You're gonna win a third of your games, you're gonna lose a third of your games and what you do in the other third […] Welcome to Flashback Friday, a weekly feature devoted to the 20th anniversary of the 1986 World Champion New York Mets. Twenty years, 43 Fridays. This is one of them.
