 
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?

Hello, I have time-traveled to your October 2013 from the Octobers of 1946, 1967 and 2004, and I am curious to discover if your World Series will be materially different from the ones I have encountered on my journey. May I please see your matchup? Hmmm…don’t you people ever change? It only feels like I just woke […]  7 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  2013 Postseason, Don Buddin, Jim Leyland, Red Sox, Shane Victorino, Tigers I do believe the Mets just got themselves barnstormed. Big, fancy hittin’ show done pulled into town and rolled over our humble, local baseball enterprise. Raised lots of money and entertained a whole lot of folks, so I guess it was all in a good cause. It’s better to look at the weekend just past — […] 15 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Dillon Gee, Field Of Dreams, Justin Turner, LaTroy Hawkins, Lucas Duda, Mark Linn-Baker, Miguel Cabrera, Omar Quintanilla, Rick Porcello, Scott Atchison, Tigers, Travis d'Arnaud Late summer is the season of easy denial. If the atmospheric conditions are generous, there’s not a damn thing wrong when you step outside and obviously there never will be. Warmth is a given. Cool dribbles in as needed. It’s not at all hot. It’s surely not cold. It’s Baby Bear weather. It’s just right. What’s all […] Watching Daisuke Matsuzaka get spanked the Tigers, I found myself depressed. I wasn’t depressed because Matsuzaka got pummeled, though that wasn’t much fun — the Mets put up a bit of a fight early, then trudged through the rest of the game. Matsuzaka said after the game that he found himself after the Tigers’ initial barrage, […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Daisuke Matsuzaka, Disappointment, Garbage Time, Miguel Cabrera, Tigers You could’ve used the phrase, “The Tigers will meet the Giants in the World Series” in 1908, but Fred Merkle didn’t touch second, Johnny Evers pulled some shenanigans with the first baseball handy and the powers that be got suckered into calling a Giants win over the Cubs a tie, thereby compelling a makeup game […] 6 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2012 Postseason, Giants, Marco Scutaro, The Shawshank Redemption, Tigers, World Series The Texas Rangers have my wholehearted admiration for doing one of the hardest things there is to do in baseball: getting to the mountaintop, tumbling off of it a step from its absolute peak and working their way back up to where they were a year before. No year-after hangover for the once-and-again American League […] Joe Girardi just made another pitching change. He’s penciled in NOBODY to start for the Yankees on Saturday. But he’s probably not going to leave him in very long. Thank you, Detroit Tigers. We may not have much these October nights, but we sure have you. Happy Elimination Day, Metsopotamia and all the ships at sea. Enjoy […] 23 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2011 Postseason, Elimination Day, Overmanaging, Sheadenfreude, Tigers I admit it, the only parts I heard were the boring parts. I got a late start on the evening, grabbing my iPhone as I dashed out the door. I fumbled my way into MLB At Bat and noted, with a certain cheerful approval, that it was already 2-0 Mets. Walking to pick up Emily in […] Welcome to Flashback Friday: Take Me Out to 34 Ballparks, a celebration, critique and countdown of every major league ballpark one baseball fan has been fortunate enough to visit in a lifetime of going to ballgames.

I don’t get to sit anywhere I want and I don’t have access to everything there is, but otherwise I’ve been a first-class passenger at Citi Field for the past ten games I’ve attended. When it comes to baseball, I get just about anything I could possibly want. • […] 10 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | 2010 Mets, Citi Field, Jerry Seinfeld, Records, Tigers, Winning Streaks |
