 
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?

Tuesday night, for probably the last time in my life, I was happy to see Andruw Jones hit a home run. It had almost nothing to do with getting the National League on the board in the All-Star Game. It had everything to do with it having been hit off of Kenny Rogers. I don’t know […]  5 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1999 Mets, 1999 NLCS, All-Star Game, Andruw Jones, Kenny Rogers Exactly one month ago, my wife and I attended a Sunday matinee performance of the New York City Ballet (knocking out the last several innings of the Eric Cooper fiasco, but whaddaya gonna do sometimes?). As we waited for the curtain to rise, I heard two women sitting behind us engaged in intense ballet talk. […] “Why don't you folks come in? We're very happy when parents take enough of an interest in their child's work to meet with us.” “We wouldn't think of not coming, but to be honest, we're a little surprised that you're relying on a parent-teacher conference to tell us how he's doing. Don't you send home report […] Pedro cures all. So much for the can't win on Sundays, can't win outside the division inside our own time zone, can't win when half of Team FAFIF steals away from proximity. Ah, Pedro. I'd still prefer our ace do at least a flyover of Detroit Tuesday night (according to our redoubtable radio guys, Carlos and […] The National Funeral Directors Association called. They said they're considering filing suit. Seems one of our relievers is giving graves a bad name. The makers of the Heath Bar called. They say candy revenue is down. Kids all of a sudden would rather eat cauliflower than have anything to do with their product. Bell sales are […] It was a nice surprise to hear from you. You told me you didn't think you'd have online access while away, so your post this morning may have been a happy accident of string, tin cans and what not. If so, this is probably falling on deaf cyberears, but I have a small request for […] The Mets played in Pittsburgh Friday night versus the struggling Pirates. The Mets played in Pittsburgh Friday night versus the struggling Pirates. It was a beautiful night for baseball at glorious PNC Park. It was a beautiful night for baseball at glorious PNC Park. The Mets jumped out to an early lead. The Mets jumped out to an early lead. Victor […] I can’t find evidence of his rant anywhere, but I recall Frank Sinatra, within the last decade of his life, delivering a spiel for the benefit of George Michael, the essence of which was, “You’re a star, baby — act like it!” It’s even better if you picture Phil Hartman doing Sinatra. Ol’ Blue Eyes’ nebulous […] Hey, I just found a towel lying around in here like somebody threw it. Let me just pick that up and drape it over in our corner where it belongs…there, that's better. First place, despite the best efforts of Aaron Heilman (which were pretty darn good), likely remains a pipe dream but I'm not tossing out […] XM Radio allows me to listen to the home broadcasts of every team in the Majors. It's ideal for tracking the competition in a five-team divisional race, and when that evaporates (I think I just heard it go pffffft), it will no doubt be useful for any Wild Card business as long as that lasts. It […] |
