For everybody who complains that SNY never shows the obvious Mets Classics (and that would include everybody), tune in tonight at 7 for a replay of the Ten-Run Inning game of June 30, 2000, the signature contest of our last pennant season. Forget that the Snighsite refers to it as the “10 inning comeback” and […]
 
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 am saddened to report that the Mets are faring no better in fiction than they are in reality this offseason. Keeping an eye out for any appearance by our logo or laundry in the popular culture, I sat through an ABC telepic Sunday night called Oprah Winfrey Presents: Mitch Albom’s For One More Day. With […]  22 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  1973 Mets, Mets Pop Culture, Michael Imperioli, Mitch Albom, Oprah Winfrey, Uniforms With apologies to Gertrude Stein and Oakland, there is no there there any longer by what we have known for years as the 7 extension just beyond Gate E. The extension has been disconnected, torn down, the first of many structures on the premises slated to turn to dust and/or parking by April 2009. As I […] Santana — we haven't got! Dan Haren — we haven't got! The D-Train — we haven't got! What've we got? Good question. If we eliminate heart — and based on the events of September 14-30, you'd kind of have to until further notice — we've got OK starting pitching, maybe even more than adequate starting pitching. We've got Pedro, […] OK, quick quiz: If I told you that the Mets had just swung a deal in Nashville (they haven't), and included a link where you could find out the details, what would be your emotions as you clicked through? If you chose “anxiety,” “despair,” “dread” or a similar word as your answer, welcome to the 2007 […] Many Mets fans have fervently hoped for years that Gil Hodges would gain induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Now it turns out that by being denied access, the honor is all his. After yesterday's newly rejiggered Veterans Committee subcommittee election results were announced, we learned a plaque will hang in Cooperstown for Walter O'Malley. […] As long as I live, when I hear “manager of the New York Mets,” this 1970 Topps card is the image that will stick with me. Gil Hodges is to Mets managers what sky is to earth: he’s what’s up there above everybody else as high as you can see. I loved Davey Johnson, I […] It's not losses in October or September or April through August that try Mets fans' souls. It's what goes down in the offseason. It's Lastings Milledge for Brian Schneider and Ryan Church and all the rationalizing one is forced into when it happens. Hey, Schneider's a pretty good defensive catcher. He gives us strength up the […] When all was said and done, maybe Lastings Milledge should have just kept jogging down the right field line that very firstpromising June afternoon, shaken everybody’s hand goodbye and then hit the road. For it seemed the moment he displayed a bit of verve and panache, he was on somebody’s list…and I don’t mean this extraordinarily memorable […] |
