You know what's smack in the middle between champs and chumps?
Chimps.
Last time I checked, chimps had never won a World Series. Or much of anything else.
 
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 picture resolution on mlb.tv is not that great, but I could have sworn the Mets brought back Toby Borland and Ricardo Jordan tonight.
I'll be looking for Omar's “scared little leaguers, knowwhatI'msayin?” comment in the rags tomorrow.
Speaking of chimps, I'd rather watch a monkey wash a cat.
On the plus side, I got to watch all of Burn Notice on USA. It's a terriffic little summer show.
Good riddance, PNC Park.
This was “Get me to a NY Hospital” bad.
I could have sworn I saw Tike Redman on the Bucco bench.
i like that show too!! very funny and a decent story
When you're being interviewed mid-game and suggest that you'd rather give up a HR than “give in” to a guy when you've fallen behind 2-0 and walk him, that makes you an idiot. Not a gamer, not tough or gritty or someone who “comes to play every day”. It makes you an idiot.
It is so hard to root for this team.
I missed that exchange, but I've heard strict control pitchers make those kinds of admissions. Except a guy who walks four in five innings shouldn't be trying to come off as a strict control pitcher.

Um… yeah. *sigh*
