SI Page 109

Faith and Fear in Flushing is mentioned on page 109 of the March 26 (Baseball Preview) issue as one of four blogs that will be "featured" on si.com's Mets page this season. Quite a shock and thrill to see our little concern's name in the magazine that's been arriving in my mailbox every Wednesday for 16 years. They're also doing a poll asking which blog gives the "best Mets info". It's us and three totally worthy sites. But as this is member promotion, feel free to vote for us. http://si.com/metsvote

Voted, and good luck. And something else I caught from that issue, the featured quote from John Ameachi in the opening section of the magazine was taken from Matt Ufford's "Night Out" piece on WithLeather. Pretty cool.

Hey I voted for you! Though I have to admit "info" is about the last reason to visit FaFiF and prolly the only reason to frequent the others (I don't have to engage in blogosphere ballwashing... yet). They'll probably kill you is what I'm saying. The poll question you deserve to win is "Which Met Blog Do You Go To When You Already Have Info"?

Info...defined broadly.

Very cool deal for your page.....I rarley read blogs but yours is the only Mets one I go to....count on my vote.

Geek isn't even about info, but about taking the info and speculating with it. I vote FaFiF. Now I feel bad that I wrote fuck in your comments last week.

I dunno, I pull up MetsGeek now and all I see are "link dumps."

Well, then, I'm corrected.

Sorry I missed this earlier. I cast my vote for the Faith and Fear gang.

Thanks for the support, all. It may not make a dent in the final tally, but FAFIF has polled a quality 8% and that's what counts. Yours, Terry Sanford '72 Fred Harris '76 John Connally '80 Ernest "Fritz" Hollings '84 Bruce Babbitt '88 Bob Kerrey '92 Lamar Alexander '96 Gary Bauer '00 Dennis Kucinich '04 And Us '07
