 
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?

It occurs to me that for all the references I make to the One Hundred Greatest Mets of the First Forty Years, they have never been presented all at once in one handy-dandy post. So let’s do that today. For those of you who weren’t with us last March and April when we counted ’em down, you […] This afternoon Minnesota beat Oakland ten to four, Scott Baker bested Joe Kennedy, Michael Cuddyer homered for Minnesota, Mark Ellis for Oakland, so at the moment, the A’s two games behind the Angels in the American League West. Angels play tonight at home against Texas with John Lackey against Kameron Loe after Bartolo Colon picked […] I had planned to let you know to listen to Jonathan Schwartz’s show on WNYC-FM this afternoon. For 36 consecutive Super Bowl Sundays, Schwartz ran what he called a Salute to Baseball. Before there was sportstalk radio and downloadable files and Rhino Records, there was Schwartz spending one hour in the middle of football overload […]  1 comment - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  2005 Mets, Gary Cohen, Howie Rose, Jae Seo, Marlins, Radio, Salute to Baseball, WFAN Welcome to Flashback Friday, a weekly feature devoted to the 20th anniversary of the 1986 World Champion New York Mets. Twenty years, 43 Fridays. This is one of them. If your team were vying for the world championship in a few hours, you wouldn’t be completely responsible for the crazy thoughts running through your head. It […] 12 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 1986 Mets, 1986 World Series, Flashback Friday, Football Following a full year and most of a second offseason on the job, I think I have detected a bias to Omar Minaya's player procurement. It's not about where you're from — it's about how far you've come, how much farther you're likely to go and how much you're due. We've seen the man has no […] To our affiliates along the New York Mets blogging network: If you were kind enough to post a link or a save a bookmark to Faith and Fear in Flushing before December 2005, chances are you have an outdated URL that won't get you here. Two months ago, our blog host compelled us to change addresses […] It's dangerous to attempt to piece together a 25-man roster even at this late stage of the winter, but I'm going to give it a try. The catcher will be a Metropolitan-American. Around the infield we'll see four Metropolitan-Americans. Each of the three outfield spots will be occupied by a Metropolitan-American. The bench? All Metropolitan-Americans. Five Metropolitan-Americans will fill out […] One more curtain call for Mike Piazza! He signed with the Padres. Last week's rumors about him and the Skanks proved hollow. For that alone, he rates a standing ovation. One now, two later. He's scheduled to compete against us in seven separate games, four in April in San Diego, three in August at Shea. I […] Spring is in the air! Is it the weather? No, not really — New York's been experiencing the kind of weather one would normally expect to find in a videogame this winter, making such judgments utterly unreliable. (It was 49 degrees today, which pretty much ensures it'll be 29 tomorrow.) Is it that the Super Bowl […] Welcome to Flashback Friday, a weekly feature devoted to the 20th anniversary of the 1986 World Champion New York Mets. Twenty years, 43 Fridays. This is one of them. Seventeen votes. Seventeen lousy votes. That’s what the most exciting pitcher in the history of baseball received in Hall of Fame balloting a couple of weeks ago. Seventeen wins. […] |
