The weekend that makes March Metness the memory-laden free-for-all that it is came to an end Sunday, with the final eight qualifiers for the Rick Sweet 16 earning their trips to the next round. While some pack for home, others pack for quintessence. Here’s who and/or what made it to Getaway Day and what they […]
 
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?

Sixteen games, four in each region, were played, setting the matchups for Saturday that will determine half of the Rick Sweet 16. Thanks to Ray of Metphistopheles, we have an actual bracket-by-bracket rundown of the field of 64 for this year’s March Metness tournament for your printing and prognosticating pleasure.

Be sure […] It’s always a controversial process and there’s always going to be somebody who’s dissatisfied, but the March Metness selection committee has made its picks and seeded the entries.
