Rich Davis: “A fair-weather fan is someone who doesn’t even know the guys on the roster. But if the team’s in the playoffs, they’re the first one to cheer or wear a hat and represent. I’m not a quitter, but it’s August, the Mets have the highest payroll and again they under delivered for their fan base. So, I check the box score, I’ll watch a Pete Alonso highlight, but I’m not dialed in like I was at the beginning of the season.”

Covino and Rich breakdown the Mets disappointing season, and Rich confesses that he’s mostly checked out as a Mets fan for the rest of the season. They debate if it’s okay to quit on your team, if they seemingly quit on you. Listen to the full segment above!
