 
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?

This talk of Jenrry Mejia starting the season as the setup man for K-Rod is ridiculous. If the season starts today, Mejia’s my closer. Oh, if talent only made it so. It won’t happen that way, but Jenrry is looking inevitable. It will take a bad case of evitablity — or yet another wave of Prevention & […]  3 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Hope, Jenrry Mejia, Josias Manzanillo, Julio Machado Welcome to Flashback Friday: Take Me Out to 34 Ballparks, a celebration, critique and countdown of every major league ballpark one baseball fan has been fortunate enough to visit in a lifetime of going to ballgames. BALLPARK: Jack Murphy Stadium Jose Reyes is not running. He’s not swinging. He’s not fielding or throwing. He’s not functioning as a baseball player. We understand today he’s resting. With any luck, he’s healing. But he’s a Met, so I wouldn’t go that far. Reyes’s thyroid condition has sidelined him for a truly Metsian prognosis of two to eight weeks. Nobody […] What are you doing Sunday, March 21 and Saturday, March 27? You ought to be getting to better know New York’s baseball heritage. And you can, thanks to our friend historian Peter Laskowich starting up his truly marvelous tours once more.

It’s gotta be the retiring of 76 and 78. Sure, we’ll be disappointed to learn that Ike Davis and Jenrry Mejia have bowed to the world-wide clamor and agreed to curtail their electrifying rookie seasons and report for immediate induction to Cooperstown, but we’ve known […] Mark your calendars, your Blackberries and your whatever ya got for March 23 at 7 PM and the return of AMAZIN’ TUESDAYS to Two Boots Tavern, the Lower East Side’s foremost bastion of Metsdom. The Mets-themed reading and venting series that was infinitely more successful in 2009 than the team on which it focused makes its […] 8 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Amazin' Tuesday, Sharon Chapman's Marathon Run, Tug McGraw The Academy would like to pause for a moment to remember those Mets who have left us in the past year… Casey Fossum, 2009 Next week the clocks spring ahead. Silly clocks — we’re already there. We’re running on Jenrry Mejia Daylight Savings Time. Mejia was so lights out in his exhibition debut Friday that the umps called the game on account of darkness. This is a great time to be a Mets fan if you ignore thyroids, pink eyes […] 2 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Amazin' Avenue Annual, Fernando Martinez, Hope, Ike Davis, Jason Pridie, Jenrry Mejia, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Maple Street Mets Annual, Mike Cervenak, Mike Hessman, Pink Eye, Spring Training, Thyroid Welcome to Flashback Friday: Take Me Out to 34 Ballparks, a celebration, critique and countdown of every major league ballpark one baseball fan has been fortunate enough to visit in a lifetime of going to ballgames.
