Pete Alonso RETURNS to CitiField As a Visitor!-Episode263-TilMetsDoUsPart

I know you want to, you know, dive in and yeah.

You know, it's so funny is that John, this is one of those like,

You know,

this is one of those complicated topics.

What has transpired the last few days with the Mets, the fan reaction, and it almost feels like Mets fandom on some level has turned into, in the worst sort of way, Democrats and Republicans.

Like, we've gotten into this place where we have, like, fan on fan crime going on on social right now that is just so this thing that is still supposed to be joyous and fun in the season we don't have that much more baseball of the regular season and then who even knows if there's going to be probably a lockout of some sort and when we get back to baseball and it's like cherish these last games and it feels like we are you know eating our young right now

I totally agree.

I think a lot of it has to do with the sort of social media-ification of life where it's the death of discourse.

It's the death of nuance.

In some cases, it's the death of common sense and critical thinking.

For sure.

Well, your stance on Met fans over the last few days, nuanced, would you?

No, but I think I meet people where they're at sometimes.

I meet people where they've shown me that they want to exist.

So I have to push a little bit harder than I would want to.

Let me say this.

Let me kind of just preface the

conversation.

Toss out where you stand on this.

Yeah, you start.
