 
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?

Depending on what you read, Johan Santana either remains on pace for a return in July or is actually already dead and the Mets are just covering it up. Oliver Perez, meanwhile, continues to show unmistakable symptoms of being still around, a malady the Mets should probably cure. Stillarounditis also continues to be exhibited by Luis Castillo, […] “Mr. Met, can you come in for a minute?” “Have a seat.” Chico Walker, Charlie Neal, Tom Veryzer, Rod Kanehl Kelvin Chapman, Billy Cowan, Bobby Klaus, Billy Almon During the 1996 presidential election campaign, Richard Ben Cramer, who had written about Bob Dole with incredible depth and sensitivity, was asked to characterize the Republican nominee’s policy agenda if […]  10 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Brad Emaus, Chin-lung Hu, Daniel Murphy, Jordany Valdespin, Justin Turner, Luis Castillo, Luis Hernandez, Reese Havens, Ruben Tejada, Second Base, Willie Harris Update: Here’s video. (And a Febreze ad, oh boy.) The Mets, as various wags noted, manage to lose twice by one run yesterday, dropping split-squad decisions to the Astros and Nationals. The team continues to maintain a huffy silence amid no shortage of evidence that its owners are in dire financial difficulty. Luis Castillo and Oliver […]
Anthony Crater, No. 10, presumably in tribute to Rusty Staub. My alma mater won’t see the Big Dance. It will be lucky to see a square dance. I’m guessing that by this time tomorrow, all they’ll be seeing is the plane home to Tampa. But by gum, after trailing Villanova by 16 […] For the longest time, I adored our cats Hozzie and Avery, yet had a hard time thinking of them as “our cats”. “Our cats” meant Bernie and Casey, the cats Stephanie and I had before Hozzie and Avery. As cats will do (though nobody warns you when you plunge headfirst into petdom), Bernie and Casey […] The Mets’ 2011 promotional schedule seeped out quietly last Saturday morning, its highlights embedded in a press release. Given that I look forward to knowing what swag the Mets will be introducing into the Metsopotamian ecosystem, I’d prefer a midweek prime time press conference live from the East Room of the White House and expect […] A season with 108 wins and a World Series title deserves every moment in the sun we can get it. Continuing/completing our series of guest posts at MSG.com, here’s my appreciation of Gary Carter and Keith Hernandez, two very different men who were equally important to that great team. What was it like to be a Mets fan in The Year of Our Romp, One-Thousand Nine-Hundred and Eighty-Six? Since it’s one of those topics I never get tired of talking about (for at least 108 obvious reasons), I’m happy to have the opportunity to talk about it some more at MSG.com. Hope it rekindles […] I wanted Carlos Beltran to insist that he was in one of the better shapes of his life, certainly the best of the past few years of his life. “Best shape of my life” would have been too clichéd and beyond credulity. We saw Carlos Beltran when his shape was indisputably spectacular. I would have […] 8 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Angel Pagan, Carlos Beltran, Center Fielders, Endings, Mike Cameron, Mike Piazza, Pedro Martinez |
