Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans.

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?

There were rain delays, key blows by Ray Knight and Howard Johnson, pitching performances brave and determined and desperate by the likes […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Anthony Recker, Cody Ross, Gerardo Parra, Keith Hernandez, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Michael Tucker, Rick Camp, Tony Campana So the Mets lost a tight one to the Atlanta Braves tonight … and you’d assume it’s time for us all to jump off a bridge.
