 
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?

You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone. This year’s Nikon Camera players of the year are Gary Cohen and Howie Rose. At the end of the season, the players of the year will have their efforts lovingly admired by this blog. It was no contest. If they’re doing their jobs well, the radio […]  6 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Gary Cohen, Howie Rose, Nikon Camera Mets Player of the Year, Radio, WFAN MOST VALUABLE METS AS EXPRESSED VIA THEIR BEVERAGE EQUIVALENTS 1. Pedro Martinez is Jolt Cola: Twice the sugar. All the caffeine. Not only can’t you close your eyes, you won’t want to. The hum in your head is unmistakable. Your senses are tingling. Gotta have another blast of that stuff. A sprinkler could come on and […] In 1992, Jimmy Breslin was grumpy. He was covering the Iowa caucuses and wandered into a candidate's headquarters. The volunteer at the front desk didn't know who he was. He harumphed that if Mario Cuomo were running for president, everybody in the room would know him. And if things had gone about one game per month […] My birthday is December 31. I tell you that because I have a real problem with year-in-review features. Everybody from the World Almanac to Newsweek to Entertainment Tonight produces those looks back at “the year” in advance of the actual year ending. It's understandable, I suppose, given deadlines and the holidays and a belief that […] My heart going boom boom boom… In the first at-bat I saw today, Mike Piazza came up with two on and took Ramiro Mendoza high over the left field wall and up on to the roof of the VIP tent. We went ahead of the Yankees 7-6. In the second at-bat I saw today, Mike Piazza put […] Today is the day we remain who we are in earnest. It’s come to this: I’m fuming at the Braves for blowing an eighth-inning lead to the Marlins and thereby costing us a Saturday night clinch of third place outright. Dan Kolb sucks just enough to not do us any good. On the other hand, who […] Once I built a Collapse-O-Meter, made it run. Once I built a Collapse-O-Meter, now it's done. Buddy, can you spare some crow? Congratulations to the 2005 American League Eastern Division champions, the name of whom escapes me. May this title be what you look back on fondly a week from now. And congratulations on having had a schedule […] “You're a winner! Teddy knows!” —One of the three clichés spouted by the Executive Teddy Bear my mother gave my father on his 50th birthday 82 Wins! Eleven wins better than 2004! First winning record since 2001! We are over five-freaking-hundred once and for all! And one win from clinching at least a third-place tie in the only division in baseball […] The year was 2000. I was 37. Or was I? I was in the fourth year of a stretch when I lived and breathed Mets baseball more than during any other period in my life. Wasn’t I supposed to get that out of the way when I was a child?
