 
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?

Monday night’s game against the always delightful Marlins in always delightful New Soilmaster Stadium unfolded as your recapper and family made their way from coastal Maine to an ancient inn outside of Boston, and the game kept morphing and changing shape along with our situation and surroundings. While we were bombing down 95 south of Portland […]  5 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Edwin Diaz, Francisco Lindor, Ghosts, Jake Burger, Jeff McNeil, Jose Iglesias, Josh Bell, Marlins, Yonny Chirinos The good part is that Citi Field still knows how to bring the noise for a postseason game. I was there Friday night for Game 1 of the Wild Card Series (or whatever it’s called, I don’t really care), and the stadium was loud bordering on deafening — not just the A/V system, though that […] 21 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2022 Postseason, Bad Fans, Booing, Disappointment, Josh Bell, Jurickson Profar, Max Scherzer, Padres, Starling Marte, Wild Card, Yu Darvish Jacob deGrom returned, as promised, and was more or less as we remembered — he hit 102 on the D.C. gun, looked like his old lanky and deadly self, and befuddled various Nationals with most of his arsenal. The lone blemish came in the fourth, when deGrom’s location eluded him and Victor Robles and Luis […] 11 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Billy Eppler, Cory Abbott, Darin Ruf, David Peterson, Farewells, Francisco Lindor, Ghosts, J.D.

He pitched seven shutout innings while fielding his position like an athlete who happens to be the pitcher. We should all experience such discomfort. “A little tight, nothing serious,” was Tai’s postgame self-diagnosis.

No need for condolences — nothing of any real consequence went wrong, just a dog’s breakfast of bureaucracy and mischance and annoyances waiting at every turn. But it was enough to leave me in a foul mood, one that I tried to shake walking home over the Brooklyn Bridge, hopeful that […] 6 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Edwin Diaz, James McCann, Jeff McNeil, Joely Rodriguez, Josh Bell, Juan Soto, Nats |
