Chris Mad Dog Russo criticized the New York Mets for celebrating Pete Alonso's 254th career home run, which made him the franchise leader. Alonso's achievement came while the team was struggling, losing 11 of their last 12 games. Russo highlighted the absurdity of the celebration considering the team's poor performance. He questioned why the Mets did not sign Alonso in the offseason, despite their apparent affection for him. Additionally, Russo took issue with the special presentation planned for Alonso at a time when the team was lagging in standings.
"IT'S OUTTA HERE! OUTTA HERE! PETE ALONSO STANDS ALONE! THE POLAR BEAR, ON HIS OWN PRIVATE ICEBERG! PETE ALONSO, THE MOST PROLIFIC HOME RUN HITTER IN NEW YORK METS HISTORY!"
"You can't even tell what the home run record was before this nonsense!"
"If the Mets love Alonso so much, why didn't they pay him in the offseason, for crying out loud? He was a free agent! They didn't want to pay him a nickel!"
"Can somebody put this on the board? Now, when I asked for it, for crying out loud! Put this on the board!"
