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?

Done. Very done. Don't mean well done. Done like Mazz. Mets lose. Mets suck. Lots this time. Such bull. Can't take this game. Can't bear this game, even. They suck!

Sweaty Shea felt that much more humid given the deficits — 3-0, 6-2, 7-4, 8-7 — that had to be surmounted along […] Hall of Fame Weekend has come and gone. We won’t worry too much about Cooperstown until early January. Gil Hodges should be in. Keith Hernandez, too. We know that. But what about the Mets Hall of Fame? The what? Yeah, that’s right, it exists. You’ve heard of it. Probably. Maybe. Have you seen it?
