 
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?

The Mets will put that baseball truism to the test in a couple of hours, and most likely give us a reason to doubt it the way […] 20 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Chase Utley, Mickey Callaway, Ozzie Albies, Paul Sewald, Sandy Alderson, Terry Collins, Tom Hallion, Umpires, Zack Wheeler Remember when the Mets were good? Our once-promising team is now thoroughly rooted in all-time last place, behind such worthies as the 2018 Baltimore Orioles, the 1962 Mets, the 1875 Brooklyn Atlantics and the 1899 Cleveland Spiders. That seemingly pretty decent 17-12 record? An illusion born of sabermetrics or some other newfangled defacement of the grand […] 24 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Freddie Freeman, Jason Vargas, Matt Harvey, Ozzie Albies, Ronald Acuna Jr. |
