 
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?

I’m sure there have been worse showcases for baseball. I’m sure I’ve even seen a few of them. But it’s hard to think of any at the moment. My God, that was a horrible, horrible, horrible baseball game inflicted on blameless fans and viewers by the Mets and the Brewers. I gave up trying to keep […]  5 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Brewers, Carlos Gomez, Dallas Green, Horribleness, Ike Davis, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Zack Wheeler I’ve been kind of busy drinking and dancing this weekend, and speaking of which… Mets fans! Mets fans! 15 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2011 Postseason, Brewers, Cardinals, Phillies, Sheadenfreude Stephanie and I spent Saturday with the Mets and with the Stems. The Mets are the Mets. The Stems are the opposite of the Mets, and they were embodied not by the victorious visiting Milwaukee Brewers but by two people who are the opposite of fans of the Mets. Let’s call them Mr. and Mrs. Stem. That […] 8 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Acela Club, Angel Pagan, Brewers, Family, Frankie Rodriguez, Jason Isringhausen, Josh Thole, Stems In a telephone conversation Wednesday afternoon, Roenicke said he intends to use both Axford and Rodriguez in save situations and both in setup situations. John Axford was the closer for the Milwaukee Brewers. When the phone rang, he knew it was for him. AXFORD: Hey, I got this. But Francisco Rodriguez was one of the game’s most […] I liked the parts I watched, which is to say my splintered Wednesday night attention served me well for roughly 8½ innings. I was watching when Ruben Tejada slickened a tough grounder into a 4-3 double play. I was watching when Randy Wolf proved reassuringly human and balked for the first time ever (ever!). I […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Brewers, Craig Counsell, Dale Thayer, Nyjer Morgan, Randy Wolf, Ronny Paulino, Summer Reruns Over the years I’ve had the honor — and the anxiety — of introducing a few people to their first baseball game. While I’m sincere in my belief that baseball is the highest art form yet to spring from the human mind, not all baseball games are created equal. For someone’s first three hours of […] 8 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Brewers, Carlos Gomez, Chris Capuano, Jose Reyes 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: Miller Park There was nothing I didn’t […] I’ll admit it: I’ve always thought of the knuckleball as more or less a stunt best reserved for baseball’s cabinet of curiosities. Which perhaps isn’t a surprise given that R.A. Dickey is already a credible candidate for the title of Most Successful Mets Knuckleballer ever. The only Met knuckleballer I can remember seeing is the […] 3 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Brewers, Jeff Suppan, knuckleball, R.A. Dickey, Zach Braddock |
