Pete Alonso’s game-tying home run and curtain call at Citi Field sends Evan Roberts over the edge. Evan still loves Alonso, but argues that coming back out of the dugout was unnecessary and felt like one more chance to rub the Mets’ mistake in their faces.

Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash strongly disagree, saying Mets fans were demanding the moment and Alonso was simply giving them the goodbye they wanted after hitting his 300th career home run. The argument gets personal as Shaun calls Evan’s anger misdirected, while Evan insists cheering Alonso is one thing and watching a former Met take a curtain call on the road is something else entirely.

Alonso got his curtain call while financially the Mets may be the worst team in sports history.

Chris McMonigle and Craig Carton analyze the friction between Mets fans and GM David Stearns following Pete Alonso’s departure. They reveal behind-the-scenes details about rejected contracts, a spiritual trip to the Vatican, and how Steve Cohen allegedly kept Alonso's career on track when no other offers materialized.

Joe Benigno is delirious over the Jets after a dominant 23-10 win over Tennessee, and he believes this team is ready to blow past expectations. He raves about Geno Smith, Breece Hall, the offensive line and the revamped defense, calls the Sauce Gardner trade an all-time fleece, and boldly predicts the Jets can beat Green Bay and become a legitimate factor this season.

Then the mood turns furious. Joe unloads on David Stearns and Steve Cohen for letting Pete Alonso walk, calling it one of the worst mistakes in Mets history and saying Stearns should be fired. He argues Alonso has been better than Juan Soto, blasts Soto’s lack of big moments, and says Andy Green has earned the right to manage the Mets moving forward.

Evan Roberts erupts after Pete Alonso’s return to Citi Field, ripping anyone who says Mets fans were wrong for cheering their former star. Evan argues that a fan base watching an awful, underachieving team had every right to shower Alonso with love, and he unloads on Steve Cohen for telling Pete that Citi Field will always be his home despite never making him an offer to stay.

Tiki Barber says Alonso’s return finally ignited years of frustration Evan had been holding in over the direction of the Mets. Shaun Morash agrees fans had every right to celebrate Pete, but pushes back when that support begins affecting Jonah Tong and the current Mets on the field.

We started with Pete Alonso coming back to Citi-Field last night. Mets fans were cheering for him so much that they booed their own pitcher for walking him instead of allowing him to hit a HR. Aaron Judge homered last night in front of a tiny crowd in the rain in Minnesota.

Pete Alonso has returned to cause Mets fans to explode on one another. Who is the embarrassing Mets fan? Let's find out. Follow @HoffWFAN on X, Instagram & TikTok
