ABOUT US

Greg Prince and Jason Fry

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.

Clarity

Well, at least now we know.
John Maine, your time is now. You're only stepping in for one of the most-dominant pitchers of his era, the man whose arrival was a Piazzaesque sign that the Mets mattered again, one of the figures so vital to his sport that you say his first name and everybody knows […]

One-Ninth of Dreams Do Come True

This just in: Gary Cohen's coming back to radio.
Not forever, just for the postseason, not for entire games, just for a couple of innings. He'll work with Howie in the fifth and the other guy in the sixth.

Getting Shirty

Here it is, our first-ever Faith and Fear in Flushing t-shirt. Be the envy of your block — or think of something to say when somebody asks you what that weird URL on your back is.

See a photo here. This is just a rendering, but I used this particular t-shirt company (CustomInk) for some Mookie Wilson t-shirts I made a couple of years back, and the finished product was slick.

My Playoff Preparations

I live about a quarter of a mile from the Brooklyn Bridge. Which is handy, because I'm heading out to jump off of it.

Like the Mets, I napped through a good portion of Tuesday night's game with the Braves. Most of the baseball I saw came later in the evening after I (unlike the Mets) shook off my slumber.
