Aaron Heilman, it's been said, should go back to starting. His three innings of game-changing relief, however, suggest he should fill all roles on the staff. Now starting…Aaron Heilman. Now warming up…Aaron Heilman. Now entering the game…Aaron Heilman. Now lifting an entire team and all the momentum it could ask for upon his back…Aaron Heilman. […]
 
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?

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. Should you be attending any of the Subway Series games this weekend, you may hear some ignoramii who don’t usually sit in the seats of our beautiful […] Not to cast aspersions or overgeneralize, but you seem to watch a significant number of Mets games in bars. To me, a significant number would be one. I don't do much of anything in bars these days, let alone watch Mets games. Part of it is my relatively advanced age, part of it my lifestyle, […] If all I did was watch SNY (and it’s close), I’d have no problem picking a Mets MVP for 2006. Clearly, it’s Dave Magadan. Every time I turn this channel on, there he is going 3-for-4. He’s gotta be 21-for-28 by now. And the Mets are on the verge of clinching of the National League East […]  34 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Chris Russo, Incredibly Bad Ideas, Mike Francesa, Radio, WFAN While the Mets have been taking a week or so off from their winning ways, Stephanie and I have been looking forward to our own vacation. Oddly enough, we had the same idea they did for when it comes time to take a break from working. We're gonna go to St. Louis. We won't be there […] “I’m going to Port St. Lucie, which may not mean anything to you, but happens to be the spring training home of the…” “New York Jets. Yes, you’ve told me. Josh, you can watch basketball on TV.” “Yes, except the New York Knicks are a basketball team, the New York Jets are a football team and Port […] 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. Harking back to Spring Training 2006, the regular reader may recall one of my intermittent fits of panic regarding our team and my ability to relate to […] 3 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1986 Mets, Bobby Ojeda, Flashback Friday, Tim Teufel Behold the blowout! The mighty aberration! My team is kicking your team’s ass like there’s no tomorrow. You don’t want there to be a tomorrow because it is obvious that your team can never hope to compete with my team, because my team is blowing your team…OUT! Perspective is pummeled in a blowout. I can’t see […] And at least there's something that makes it OK: We get another one tomorrow. The smoke shooting out of my ears when Heilman threw that ball away cleared sometime this morning. Your promise that another Mets-Phillies game would eventually arrive didn't make me feel any better, but since there's nothing I can do about last night, […] Faster than a speeding Rollins…more powerful than a Bobby Abreu…able to leap Citizens Bank Park in a single bound. Look, up in the sky! Or down the Turnpike! It’s a mascot! And why shouldn’t he be? Bolstered by a four-game lead, a .677 winning percentage and the long […] |
