After giving injury rehab his best shot among a flock of Toronto Blue Jay minor leaguers, native Ontarian and lifelong Cincinnati Red Joey Votto announced his retirement on August 22. Johnny Cueto, who made his season debut one day earlier for the Angels, pitched exactly once more in L.A. of A garb. The Halos considered […]
 
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?

Not long ago he was stuck on the Marlins, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. offering near-daily examples of being a bad teammate, Skip Schumaker staring out of the dugout like a man who can’t bear to think how long he’ll be on county work release, and the […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Francisco Alvarez, Francisco Lindor, Huascar Brazoban, Jake Cronenworth, Jeff McNeil, Jose Iglesias, Keith Hernandez, Mark Vientos, Marlins, Padres, Pete Alonso, Phil Maton, Reed Garrett, Rene Rivera Things are getting chippy between the Mets and A’s — and you know what, that’s fine. Baseball should be a little chippy. Tuesday saw Austin Adams, whom most of us forgot was ever a spring training Met, all but levitate after coming in and saving Joe Boyle‘s bacon, a display that culminated with Adams doing the […] 9 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | A's, Austin Adams, Darell Hernaiz, David Peterson, Daz Cameron, Francisco Lindor, Huascar Brazoban, Joey Estes, Mark Kotsay, Mark Vientos, Mike Cameron, Pete Alonso, Phil Nevin, Shawn Estes, T.J. McFarland, Tyler Nevin It is one of my most deeply ingrained articles of faith that if a Met hits a grand slam, especially if a Met hits a grand slam that puts the Mets in front — especially if a Met hits a grand slam that puts the Mets ahead in the late innings of game that stands […] 23 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Angels, Grand Slams, Grand Slams in Losing Causes, Huascar Brazoban, J.D. Martinez, Kevin Pillar, Lack of Momentum, Roy Kent Mets pitching on Wednesday was not a strong suit, an observation easily borne out by the 8-3 pounding the Minnesota Twins pasted on the staff as an up-and-down homestand concluded with a harsh thud, hardly providing an auspicious prelude to the pending Road Trip From Hell.

Even baseball teams. Especially baseball teams. Mets come, Mets go. The franchise is an ever-shifting assemblage of overlapping stints in orange and blue, some lasting years, some concluded in minutes. For a fun game, construct a chain of overlapping Met teammates back to 1962 with as few links as possible; what I […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Bullpen, Bullpen Churn, David Festa, David Stearns, Edwin Diaz, Huascar Brazoban, J.D.
