 
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 entered the All-Star break by losing an annoying game to the Royals, which isn’t exactly a new occurrence in 2025. I didn’t bother with the ASG beyond shrugging at the swing-off, and was relieved to have a few days’ break from this […] 6 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Angels, Brandon Nimmo, Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez, Francisco Lindor, Frankie Montas, Kyle Hendricks, Mike Trout, Nolan Schanuel, Pete Alonso, Reed Garrett, Rico Garcia, Ronny Mauricio, Ryne Stanek I would like the Mets to be loaded with nothing but stars who win every game by lots of runs, pitched daily and/or nightly to victory solely by stalwarts of the starting rotation.
