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?

Back in 2007, the Mets brought up a young man named Carlos Gomez. Gomez could burn — he and Jose Reyes used to race each other out to their positions, which I thought was adorable. He was just 21, but pretty big — the kind of guy you see as a doubles and triples hitter […]  8 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Carlos Gomez, Hope, Ike Davis, Josh Thole, Prospects, Shawn Green In a post to Twitter, Rick Coutinho of ESPN Radio says RHP Sean Green has modified his delivery, and his sidearm motion is even more pronounced than it was last year. Anybody who was caught up in the peer pressure of seventh grade in the […] 18 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1962 Mets, 1997 Mets, 2005 Mets, 2006 Mets, 2007 Mets, 2008 Mets, Al Leiter, Batting Orders, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Daveotronic 5000, David Sloane, David Wright, Frankie Rodriguez, Fred Wilpon, Happy Days, Henry Winkler, Jerry Manuel, Joe Cocker, Johan Santana, Jose Reyes, Mike Jacobs, Pat Morita, Rod Barajas, Saturday Night Fever, Sean Green, Spring Training, Team History, Willie Randolph, Yusmeiro Petit Last night I was at a thing and fell into conversation with a fellow Mets fan. We talked about this and that, with indifferent optimism, and then he asked, “But Reyes is running?” He wasn’t really asking; he knew. It was more that he was looking for confirmation. And all of a sudden I found myself […] “Hello, Mr. Santos. I’m not sure if you remember me…” 15 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Ben Chapman, Chris Coste, Henry Blanco, Josh Thole, Mets Catchers, Omir Santos, Shawn Riggans, Steve Carlton Tomorrow pitchers and catchers officially report, and I will breathe a small but real sigh of relief. Depending on what’s going on in the winter, the lack of baseball is somewhere between an itch and an ache, but it’s always there somewhere. Tomorrow, we get to scratch. There will still be an agonizingly long stretch […] Happy birthday to us! How old are we now? February 16, 2005 is our blue and orange-letter day, having begun this thing of ours precisely a half-decade ago today. Thus, as we blow out the candles, I’d like to share five reflections on five years of blogging […] 13 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1995 Mets, 2005 Mets, Anniversaries, Blogging, Carlos Beltran, Gilda Radner, Internal Affairs, Milestones Fans, it’s the middle of the sixth inning, and you know what that means: It’s time for the Citi Field Fun Run, the forced frivolity we co-opted from Milwaukee, Washington and our own minor league Cyclones! The Citi Field Fun Run is brought to you by a total lack of imagination on the part of the […] 14 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Angel Pagan, Disappointment, Empty, Liggy, Mets Marketing, Podie Anyone who knows Dan Quayle knows that, given a choice between golf and sex, he’ll choose golf every time. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue arrives in my mailbox every February to no particular anticipation or fanfare.
