 
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?

Dennis Cunningham, the longtime Channel 2 movie critic, reviewed St. Elmo's Fire as such: It stars seven of Hollywood's freshest young faces. And if you don't like those, we've got seven more for you. This is pretty much how teams build bullpens. Certainly it's how ours does. Closers are generally etched in stone and everything else takes […] It's been a fun trip to Met Hell, especially because we can leave it anytime we want. But the Mets aren't about hell. They're about something higher. Today is the second anniversary of a terrible loss and the beginning of a bad year for luminescent Met presences; two would wind up wind leaving us. I couldn't […] The final out of the 2005 season was made at approximately 3:56 PM, October 2. The first pitch of the 2006 season is scheduled to be thrown at 1:10 PM, April 3. Thus, the baseball equinox occurred at 2:33 AM, January 2. At that exact moment, we were equidistant from Jose Offerman’s last swing and Pedro Martinez’s (toe […] How do you measure…measure a year? Here's one way: In 2005, Faith and Fear in Flushing received 380,887 page views. Or roughly 380,886 more than we envisioned last February 16, Day One of the great Met dialogue. All I can say is… 1) Holy Cram! 2) Just as many thank yous as there were page views from Jason and […] They’ll be amazing, amazing, amazing, and this year I want you to follow ’em. They’ll be known in all the periodicals because they’ll be in South America — New Year’s Day will be their best game. This year will be over in a hurry. —Casey Stengel, 1969 World Series Highlight Film The Ol’ Perfesser is right. (Is […] I’m amused to read the stories of “what are people who want to watch the Giants-Raiders game on New Year’s Eve going to do?” Watch it, of course. Or keep up as best you can via radio. If it’s important to you, you know what you have to do. This blog, as our longtime readers know, […] Mr. Met gets a little wistful this time of year, realizing that though another season is just around the corner, it means he’s gotten a little older and he has to put one more year in the books. Wow, Mr. Met’s been thinking, 2005 was a heckuva time for him. He made new friends from Boston […] It’s been more than a year since they played baseball in Montreal or, as they did the last time they ever saw daylight, Flushing. Yet the Expos continue to lurk among us. The streets of baseball are too crowded with Expos tonight. While the Washington Nationals go about not being sold, not building a ballpark and […] Back and back together by popular demand. Schlep your tree to curb. I think I just saw the sun. GARY: Be sure to join us Sunday, October Second, for Fan Appreciation Day when the Mets close out the 2005 regular season. The first 25,000 fans attending the game with the Rockies on the Second will receive […] A year after making my musical theater debut and farewell simultaneously in a tenth-grade production of Li’l Abner, I volunteered to review that next spring’s show, Once Upon A Mattress, for the school paper. High school musicals being what they are, there was a lot of double-casting for the leads — the people in the […] |
