 
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?

Twelve runs allowed. 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 […] 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 Ready for the understatement of the year? The 2026 Mets are frustrating. On the one hand, I love that they’re playing the kids, instead of giving no-longer-deserved time to Proven Veterans™. The latest kid? 2025 Momentary Met Jonathan Pintaro, whose inaugural 2026 outing went a lot better than his last one. Progress!

If anyone does — and I know it’s done at Citi Field — I hope hats have been held onto tightly, for the Mets won a ballgame in their ballpark Wednesday night. Surprising, I know. The Mets, losers of 10 of their previous 11, […] 6 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2021 Mets, Bench Mob, Bill Pulsipher, Clay Holmes, Didier Fuentes, Elaine Stritch, Halfway Point, Jeff McNeil, Jonathan Pintaro, Juan Soto, Ronny Mauricio, Stephen Sondheim, Time’s Flight, Youthful Exploits I was hanging out with Frankie Montas Tuesday night, though not as soon I’d planned. Thank the Long Island Rail Road and its “signal problems” and “scattered delays” for making sure I wouldn’t see the veteran’s first pitches as a Met.
