 
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?

I will worry about the Mets bullpen the first time a starter departs and runs are scored. Then I will stress. For now, I take comfort in the sudden stockpiling of arms, whether strange or familiar (and presumably temporarily un-Familia). Jerry Blevins is returning. This stands as the front office accomplishment of late winter pending resolution […]  5 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Adam Wilk, Fernando Salas, Jerry Blevins, John Maine, Relief Pitching, Tom Gorzelanny, West Wing “I don’t know.

Eric, who may be the salt of the earth in real life, has […] 32 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Bartolo Colon, Change, Eric O'Flaherty, Gene Walter, Michael Cuddyer, West Wing Vast stretches of the current season could have served nicely as an All-Star break. Four days? The Mets could’ve taken off almost any four weeks there for a while and not have been much missed. But now? Now that we’ve decided we love them again? Now that they’ve decided to express their affection for us […] JOSH: Sixty-eight percent think we give too much in foreign aid, and 59% think it should be cut. Saturday’s game really did put me to sleep. I nodded off with Jon Niese’s second or third pitch and wasn’t fully alert until LaTroy Hawkins was […] “I don’t get drunk in front of people. I get drunk alone.” I might be more qualified than ever to tell you whether the Mets will sell you worthwhile food in the coming season, and not just because I took them up on their graciously issued invitation […] If a manager and a general manager fall in the forest of rumors and you don’t hear it, did it happen? If the buzz surrounding a potential double-dismissal drowns out the noise from a walkoff home run, did the dinger make a sound? And if you’re standing in a deserted dugout after batting practice has […] 6 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 30 Rock, Blogging, Chris Carter, Delta Club, Jerry Manuel, Jon Niese, Josh Thole, Media, Mike Pelfrey, Omar Minaya, public relations, R.A.
