 
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?

Springer and Spiers, Paul Gibson no Bob Rick Parker, Kevin Lomon — who game them a job? —From “Ode to the Unamazin',” by the author, 1997 I've got Barry Zito off my mind. I've got Steve Springer on my head. Steve Who? The Metsologists among us don't blink. We know Steve Springer was a minor league lifer who sipped a […] The Giants will lead the world in Barrys this year. It's a dubious distinction. We didn't get our man. Barry Zito signed with San Francisco for money that makes Jeff Suppan look positively impoverished. Not the paltry six years, $96 million talked about in Texas and surely not the five years, $75 million reportedly proposed by […] The Giants will lead the world in Barrys this year. It's a dubious distinction. The only president never elected president or vice president liked to deprecate himself as “a Ford, not a Lincoln”.

From the day Gerald Ford took the oath of office until the end of the final baseball season […] The only president never elected president or vice president liked to deprecate himself as “a Ford, not a Lincoln”. And while he was president, the National League representative of his favorite city was definitely no Big Red Machine. I read this phrase somewhere when I was a kid: If ifs and buts were candies and nuts, then every day would be Christmas. I’ve seen it worded slightly differently over the years but I’ve always identified with it. As you can’t be a Mets fan for very long without invoking “if” or “but,” it’s good advice.

Many years, insane money, OK pitcher who had a couple of good games when it counted. This means for us, besides not having Jeff Suppan (and not having […] It's not exactly the Christmas Eve news to suit anybody who said all they wanted under the tree was Barry Zito, but the Brewers have signed Jeff Suppan. Many years, insane money, OK pitcher who had a couple of good games when it counted. And in the best sports news of any kind since October 18, the University of South Florida Bulls today captured their very first bowl victory, 24-7, over the East Carolina University Pirates in the inaugural PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama.
