 
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?

No thanks — I’ll catch these from my couch, where any woofing mookdom can be addressed as an internal affair. That part’s predictable; the […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Aaron Judge, Adam Ottavino, Brandon Nimmo, Bullpen, Carlos Mendoza, Danny Young, David Peterson, Dedniel Nunez, Francisco Alvarez, Gerrit Cole, Harrison Bader, J.D.

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.
