 
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?

And God said, Let the frozen waters from the heaven be melted unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Target Field; and the grouping together of the opponents he called Twins: and God saw that they weren’t so good. And God said, Let Harvey bring […]  16 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  John Buck, Justin Morneau, Matt Harvey, No-Hit Bids, Target Field, Twins, Ungodly Stuff OK, not quite … but it sure felt that way. I would love to get an up-close look at Target Field, which I’ve seen praised as a wonderful park and the anti-Citi for its generous portions of Twinsiana. And one day I will. But tonight I was happy to be 1,200 miles away huddled on a […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | John Buck, Ruben Tejada, Target Field, Twins, Weather Just trade Jordany Valdespin so we can get to the part where the Mets gave up on him too soon. When he has a good game or a string of them or, for all we know, a career of them, we can just throw the Valdespin trade on the pile with Jeff Kent and Jeromy […] Look, just forget about that one. Certainly Dillon Gee would like to. I came out of Gee’s nightmare of a second inning thinking that Objects on Scoreboard Are Less Dire Than They Appear — several of the hits had just found holes, the Mets were driving balls off Cliff Lee, and it was Citizens Bank Park. But then […] The Mets taking it to Roy Halladay is a great thing. I’m not sure that’s who they beat up Monday night, however. That couldn’t have been the Roy Halladay who gave the Mets and the rest of the National League fits in 2010 and 2011 after owning the American League for years prior. This was the […] 9 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Daniel Murphy, John Buck, Matt Harvey, Phillies, Roy Halladay On Sunday afternoon a strange thing happened at Citi Field: The Mets won the kind of game that used to constantly go the Marlins’ way. Seriously, if you’ve been a Mets fan for 10 years or so, look at this sequence out of context and tell me it doesn’t conjure up Soilmaster Stadium, Luis Castillo, Antonio […] 16 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Aaron Laffey, Jeffrey Loria, Jose Fernandez, Juan Pierre, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Marlins, Ruben Tejada It’s the golden hour for John Buck right now, that fleeting interregnum when the journeyman is master craftsman. It is a time to be savored. John Buck drives in nine runs in five games, four of them in his fifth game to propel the Mets to a Saturday victory. John Buck draws a roughing the catcher penalty […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | John Buck, Juan Pierre, Mark Gastineau, Mets Catchers The Miami Marlins are horrible. Besides being a cautionary lesson to the next fanbase extorted into building a Xanadu for a sharp-elbowed gazillionaire owner (which is a fancy way of saying “an owner”), the Marlins have no hitters besides Giancarlo Stanton and Greg Dobbs, who wouldn’t count except we all know Greg Dobbs could still connect […] 4 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Daniel Murphy, Jeffrey Loria, Jeremy Hefner, Lucas Duda We may lose and we may win And I said to myself, this is the business we’ve chosen. If you told me I was going to three games in a four-day span in the middle of the season, I’d say, […] 12 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2013 Mets, Citi Field, Collin Cowgill, Dillon Gee, Goodfellas, John Buck, Jon Niese, Matt Harvey, Mets Fans, Mets Opening Day, Opening Week, Scott Rice, Soup In discussing my kid and his flickering hopes for the future, I left out one other new Met he’s excited about. It’s the same Met you went into last night excited about. Which means this morning we’re all giddy with a chance of liftoff. And rightly so. Matt Harvey was … well, words fail even this word-obsessed […] |
