 
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?

Very good teams make plays and get hits when it matters; mediocre ones sometimes do and sometimes don’t. Christian Scott, forced to cosplay as a chimney sweep for his first-ever Citi Field start, was pretty […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Braves, Brett Baty, Christian Scott, Futility, Humiliation, J.D. Martinez, Joe Jimenez, Max Fried, No-Hit Bids, Raisel Iglesias A dozen or so decades ago, the toast of New York National League baseball was a teetotaler projecting such a wholesome image, he was occasionally referred to in the press as the Christian Gentleman, though more readily as Matty or perhaps Big Six.

He was said to be suffering from flulike symptoms. As someone who’s been enduring some of those myself, I can relate. I don’t have a Joey Wendle standing by to fill in for me, however. Wendle was an All-Star as recently […] 8 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Adrian Houser, Brandon Nimmo, Carlos Mendoza, Cat Makeup, Christian Scott, Christopher Morel, Cubs, Danny Young, Edwin Diaz, Flu, Francisco Lindor, Joey Wendle, Miguel Amaya, Omar Narvaez, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Pinch-Running, Shota Imanaga, Spider-Man, Starling Marte, Urgency |
