Evan was not going to the Mets game on Tuesday night, but he was livid at how the postponement was handled by the team, and went off on Steve Cohen and the organization for calling the game after opening the gates with little updates on the field being potentially unplayable due to taking on water over the weekend.
"Sometimes, you gotta be the voice for the voiceless," Evan said. "Last night, at Citi Field, the New York Mets embarrassed themselves. "Yesterday, at this radio show, we took a call from a gentleman who was sitting in a load of traffic to go to Citi Field to watch the Met game and take his nine-year-old. That guy was greeted by the Mets saying nothing to their fans for an hour and a half about the status of their game, while no rain was falling from the sky.
"These are the same customers that just had their ticket prices raised on them. The same customers that essentially had their partial plans taken away from them, or at least offered a lot less. The Mets decided last night to open up their gates with a crappy field, not update their fans, and then postpone the game."
Cohen took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to apologize to the Marlins, who were reportedly furious due to how the postponement impacted their rotation plans while they try to lock up a playoff spot, but that apology only made Evan angrier.
"For this owner to go on social media for the first time since June and apologize to the Marlins and the Marlins fans? First of all, none us give a rat's ass about the Marlins and their dopey fans, we care about us," Evan said. "Steve, please go back on Twitter and apologize to that dude, who took off work early to take his nine-year-old to Citi Field, sit in traffic on a Tuesday night, for a team that sucked. Apologize to him. Apologize to everyone who paid for overpriced chicken fingers while you guys didn't tell them anything about what was going on.
"If the Wilpons still owned the team, we'd all be going nuts…I love Steve. I'm glad he owns the team. I'm excited for the offseason…but what happened last night was a Wilpon embarrassment, and tickets for April and May are not good enough. A written apology, a video apology, and maybe some Kodai Senga glow-in-the-dark baseballs would be enough. That is a terrible job by the New York Mets."
