Wednesday started, more or less, with Michael Conforto robbing A.J. Ewing of a potential extra-base hit. Conforto was playing right field for the Cubs eleven years after he began playing left field for the Mets.

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?

You could say 12s were wild for the Mets on Monday night in Cincinnati, except there was nothing that screamed or even whispered “wild” about their 12-0 loss to […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | David Peterson, Futility, Jonathan Pintaro, LOBs, Shutouts, Tobias Myers Hey, from my perspective the Mets looked great Wednesday night. Perhaps that’s because I was on the East River in a kayak for the opening innings, went out to get pizza once I got home, and then watched the Knicks given how things were going. End result: I watched the game for about six minutes and […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Cardinals, David Peterson, Francisco Alvarez, Jonathan Pintaro “Look for the helpers,” Mr. Rogers implored, and the wishful thinkers in Mets management listened. They didn’t know who was gonna help in Mr. Met’s Neighborhood, but they’d keep looking. As of Tuesday night, the Mets had sought help from 48 players in 55 games. As of Monday afternoon, they had tried only 46 different […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2024 Mets, A.J.

That was too close, with the Nats lurking around waiting to do Natty things (which used to be equally offensive Expo things) and the Mets still laboring beneath 2026’s dark […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | A.J.

I mean, it wasn’t easy — in fact, it was decidedly wacky at times — but a win’s a win, even while wearing absurd asphalt and purple uniforms (the bridgework on the helmets gives […] 3 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Aaron Judge, Amed Rosario, Anthony Volpe, Ben Rice, Brooks Raley, Carlos Rodon, Carson Benge, Clay Bellinger, David Peterson, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Luis Castillo, Luke Weaver, Mark Vientos, Trent Grisham What is that baseball club that appears to know what it’s doing and then goes about doing it? Why, I do believe that’s the New York Mets. The New York Mets visited Colorado on Monday and started playing three hours before they were originally supposed to. That was very competent thinking, given the weather forecast for […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Austin Warren, Carson Benge, Competence, Coors Field, Craig Kimbrel, David Peterson, Devin Williams, Francisco Alvarez, Huascar Brazoban, Juan Soto, Luis Torrens, Mark Vientos, Rockies David Peterson was bad and then OK and then bad again and then had a chance to give the karmic wheel another shove: Mets down two in the fourth, bases loaded, James Wood at the plate, 0-2 count.
