Mets followers: Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay thinks you’re only a complete bunch of fleas.
Kay went on an absurd rant Thursday on his ESPN New York radio present, with offended Mets followers — whom he labeled “ill-informed nitwits” — being his main targets.
“Mets fans cannot enjoy any kind of success,” Kay mentioned. “They always have to have a grievance. They always have to have something to complain about. And they’re so thirsty when it comes to being right and proving somebody who said something about their team wrong. So then, they misappropriate what people do say to fit their silly little childish narrative.”
In Might, Kay reported the Mets’ $765 million man Juan Soto was “very, very glum around the clubhouse,” and that Soto needed to re-sign with the Yankees earlier than he in the end made the transfer to Flushing to appease his household.
The report made sense — as Soto had been struggling mightily to start his Mets profession and didn’t appear to show the identical swagger he usually would.
However as Soto has picked up his recreation and was seen having enjoyable along with his teammates within the dugout flipping and touchdown water bottles throughout this current four-game cut up in Los Angeles, the followers used this occasion as proof that Kay was making the “glum” story up.
He wasn’t having any of that.
“The little gnats that for some reason I live rent free in their mind,” Kay mentioned of the Mets followers. “The prevailing narrative, which to me is laughable, ‘Kay just made that up because his radio show failed. That’s why they took him off the radio present and he must get clicks.’ Properly, you simpletons, that’s not the case in any respect. My radio present didn’t fail, it was a rousing success.
“I wonder if the people that say stuff like this are embarrassed by their stupidity,” Kay went on. “Can they look in the mirror with their tongue hanging out breathing up against the window at their visage and be proud of themselves? Or do they realize that they are lying punks that are just saying stuff in order to fit their narrative … moronic, dumb, ill-informed.”
Kay closed out his rant by calling Mets followers losers and saying, “I don’t let fleas go on the again of lions. And also you’re all fleas.
“You think I need to make up something and ruin a 39, 40-year career? Make up something for what? What would clicks do for me, you bunch of ill-informed nitwits. Please, get over me. I’m not worth your trouble. I’m the other team’s announcer … you know how silly you look … you know how small and insignificant you make yourself out to be?”
