 
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?

Saturday was Spencer Schwellenbach muzzling them, whoever he was. And Sunday … […] 7 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Ben Gamel, Braves, David Peterson, Jesse Winker, Lack of Hitting, Ramon Laureano, Ryne Stanek, Tyrone Taylor The quickest way a team can demoralize its fanbase? OK, actually it’s to have an arsonist bullpen that routinely sets fire to victories so that they burn down into defeats. But the second quickest way? It’s to routinely get great starting pitching and have it undone by an absolute lack of hitting.

Even though four […] 5 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Edwin Diaz, Endless-Seeming Games, Joey Lucchesi, Lack of Hitting, Seth Lugo, Yan Gomes The Mets have been receiving some mighty fine starting pitching lately. Yet has it occurred to anybody they might coincidentally be on the wrong end of the same? That it just so happens that the Astro, Phillie, Rockie, Brave, Diamondback, Cardinal, Dodger, Giant, National and Marlin moundsmen have all been on a roll at the […] 4 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Carlos Lee, Lack of Hitting, Pat Misch, PItching, The Last Play at Shea |
