Every now and again your baseball team goes on a run. Maybe it’s a good run, where the players look loose and up in the stands or out there on your couch you’re confident that they’ll keep cruising to victory or come back and win. Maybe it’s a great run, which is all of the […]
 
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?

Dickey. The already-undermanned Dodgers had no chance against a knuckler that was once again unhittable. None whatsoever. The degree of their no-chanceness was such that for a good part of the night we were all grousing about whatever happened to Andres Torres out there on Aaron Harang’s pop […] How great is “D-O-D-G-E-R-S (Oh Really? No, O’Malley)”? So great that Danny Kaye could almost be forgiven for, in 1962, glorifying a treacherous, greedy franchise five years after it eternally wounded Brooklyn’s soul. We will be rooting against the descendants of those Flatbush refugees for the next four nights, but any excuse to listen to […] Greg Gibson is bad. That’s all there is to it. Clayton Kershaw is spectacular. That, too, is all there is to it. If the Dodgers wanted to beat the Mets every game ever, they’d start Hong Chih-Kuo each time and never take him out. The Mets can’t afford to play shoddy defense. Nobody can, obviously, but there’s a […] 24 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1979 Mets, Alex Trevino, Dillon Gee, Dodgers, Nick Evans, Umpiring, West Coast Trips Fate took Johan Santana away, and we wondered if the season would be lost. It hasn’t been. Then Fate came for Ike Davis, and we feared the same. But the Mets kept plugging along. Then David Wright heard the knock at the door. The Mets kept rolling. Now Jose Reyes is detained by Bad Luck, we hope only […] 14 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Angel Hernandez, Dodgers, Don Mattingly, Greg Gibson, Injuries, Jonathon Niese, Rafael Furcal, Terry Collins Playing the Yankees is one of my least favorite parts of the season. The same goes for West Coast trips. Yet over a stretch of 30 hours or so, both turned out pretty nicely. I mostly missed the Mets’ marvelous, off-the-deck mauling of Mariano Rivera, as I was away with friends in Vermont in a place where […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Dodgers, Jason Bay, Rubby De La Rosa, West Coast Trips 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.
