David Cone, a Met from 1987 through 1992 and again for a spell in 2003 (we don’t know what he did most of the years in between), is lending his celebrity to help to help those still hurting in the aftermath of stupid storm Sandy…which I’m tired of dignifying as “super”. Coney will be guest-bartending […]
 
Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans.

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?

The legend lives on J. Bay, they did say, The Mets are teaming with their community partners at City Harvest to help out New Yorkers suffering from the aftereffects of Super Storm Sandy. The Mets are asking for their fans’ help, too, with a food drive on Wednesday, November 14, between 9 AM and 5 PM, at Citi Field’s Hodges entrance on the first […] In his 1970 book, The New York Mets: The Whole Story, Leonard Koppett concluded that by 1967, “the Mets had become a deeply rooted Long Island entity,” an allusion to geographic proximity, customer base and overall vibe. The Mets played in a Queens venue situated conveniently adjacent to the parkways and expressways that fed Nassau […]  3 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Basketball, Hockey, Long Island, Regional Identity If you’re familiar with Faith and Fear’s origins story, you know Jason and I “met” on an America Online board approximately 18½ years ago (a time frame not to be confused with nearly two decades, because that would be a chronological impossibility, for crissake) and we took off for Shea Stadium and points unknown from […] 4 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Blogging, Shannon Forde, The Mary Tyler Moore Show We were without power for 31 hours. Big deal, the Mets were without power most of August. Hope you and yours are all right. LB looks better surrounded by and not submerged in water.

There’s coax, […] It seems more than a trophy and some t-shirts should be at stake when you wear the title “World Champions”. I wanna see some real consequences, some real responsibilities. So, San Francisco Giants — if you are indeed championing all of us in this world, what the hell are you going to do about this […] 1 comment - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2012 Postseason, 2013 Mets, Giants, World Series Ending Blink and you’re missing it, this 2012 World Series.
