 
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 might as well be in […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Alex Trevino, Andres Torres, Carlos Quentin, Henry Blanco, Josh Thole, Mets Catchers, Padres, Rod Barajas, Ronny Cedeno, Scott Hairston, Yonder Alonso Greg Gibson is bad. That’s all there is to it. Clayton Kershaw is spectacular. That, too, is all there is to it. If the Dodgers wanted to beat the Mets every game ever, they’d start Hong Chih-Kuo each time and never take him out. The Mets can’t afford to play shoddy defense.

Jeff Kent was not wanted by Mets fans, not for David Cone. The 1992 Mets had already reached base camp at the bottom of their mountain after having careened steadily downhill through […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Alex Trevino, David Cone, Ed Kranepool, Hubie Brooks, Jeff Kent, John Franco, Last Met Standing, Lee Mazzilli, Longest Ago Met Still Active, Nolan Ryan, Team History, Tom Seaver, Tug McGraw |
