 
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?

You traverse an ocean and lose the first of two scheduled high-profile games, you’ve got to come home with the second contest in your carry-on.

The Mets… say their murky goodbye to Jorge Lopez; have an accountability meeting; decide they can do better for part-time catching and hitting with Luis Torrens than they any longer will with Omar Narváez; opt to provide regular reps for Christian Scott at Syracuse rather than let the rookie’s momentum stall […] 4 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Alchemy, An Appreciation, Darryl Strawberry, Diamondbacks, Francisco Lindor, J.D.
