 
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?

Valentin…Green…can Alou be far behind? He can? So much for the “they're all getting healthy” theory. But we'll take who we can get among the Roosevelt Avenue regulars. OJ was a sight for sore eyes and a balm for […] Count me among those who liked — or didn't hate — the Sopranos ending. I found it effective if not brilliant, sort of Glavinesque in that respect (if you don't use yesterday afternoon as a reference point). I've read some astounding vitriol on various TV sites about the need to string up David Chase and/or […] 10-3 after five. Glavine taking a shot at 300 losses. Runners on third don't go home nearly enough. I have a headache. Edited to add: 15-7 after nine. Smith is out of pixie dust. Six runners in position to score in fact did not. My headache was about gone before I began to think about this game again. So I shall stop doing […] From the third inning of Tuesday’s game until the fifth inning of Saturday’s game, the Mets scored a total of nine runs.

It's one of those weeks. They occur from time to time in the life of a contender. Your starters carry you, you can't score at every dripping-wet opportunity and your bullpen conspires with a vengeful opposition to screw you over but good. It happened and happened and happened again this […] What's everybody so down about? Didn't everybody make it with a beautiful MP tonight? —Russell Ziskey, Stripes Listen, I'm as mopey as everybody here about Endy Chavez and all the injuries and the three-game losing streak, but…ahem…I was talking to our very own Met the other night and… What? Doesn't everybody have their very own Met? Faith and Fear […] We may be standing on the unanticipated and unwanted resumption of the Ricky Ledee era. At least I assume that's who'll get the call from New Orleans, though the way things are going with anyone unwise enough to set foot in our outfield, perhaps it'll be Ron Swoboda. Or me.
