Pete Alonso homered Saturday night in St. Louis. We know that’s not a first. DJ Stewart homered Saturday night in St. Louis.

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?

That’s the key indicator right there. So we’ll go W-NYM. We shall credit Michael Conforto with the save. He came up in the ninth with Brandon Nimmo on first and bashed a two-run homer […] 8 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Edwin Diaz, Jacob deGrom, Michael Conforto, Saves There was a clinching at Citi Field on Monday night. Nothing involving a Wild Card, except for the Mets assuring themselves at least one more evening keeping time at the pennant race party.

Time of game over the past week reads like the schedule board at Grand Central as it gears up for rush hour. 4:08; […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Baseball Etiquette, Bold Leadership, Brodie Van Wagenen, Drew Gagnon, Edwin Diaz, Jackie Robinson, Jeff McNeil, Jeurys Familia, Juan Lagares, Mickey Callaway, Phillies, Relief Pitching, Saves, Time of Game, Trading Places, Trains, Unwritten Rules |
