 
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?

Welcome to the United Kingdom. Before you enter the country, you must fill out this customs form.

It was not. The Mets defeated an amorphous blob of unrefined talent better known as the Washington National Tuesday night, 6-3.

Oh, how they tried. True to my prediction of reliever Mad Libs, this time Drew Smith was fine and Adam Ottavino was really not — oh boy was Ottavino not fine, which would have been infuriating except he was so much more disgusted with himself than you could be […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Adam Ottavino, Drew Millas, Drew Smith, Expos, Jake Diekman, Joey Meneses, Nationals, Tylor Megill Reed Garrett and Adam Ottavino were good, but Jake Diekman was not — handed a 4-3 lead in the ninth, he surrendered a pinch-hit double and a home run (Ketel Marte‘s second of the afternoon) to put the Mets in their familiar behind-the-eight-ball position before an out was recorded. How familiar? Since May 1 the […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Adam Ottavino, Bad Relief Pitching, Diamondbacks, J.D.

A distinct hint of Strawberry. Darryl Strawberry’s No. 18 was retired by the New York Mets, the sixth time in the past nine seasons that the franchise has raised a number to the rafters.

The Mets… say their murky goodbye to Jorge Lopez; have an accountability meeting; decide they can do better for part-time catching and hitting with Luis Torrens than they any longer will with Omar Narváez; opt to provide regular reps for Christian Scott at Syracuse rather than let the rookie’s momentum stall […] 4 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Alchemy, An Appreciation, Darryl Strawberry, Diamondbacks, Francisco Lindor, J.D.
