Evan Roberts\u2019 Yankees rant said more about Mets insecurity than anything else<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest flashpoint in New York\u2019s never ending baseball rivalry did not come from a dramatic ninth inning, a Juan Soto headline, or even a heated Subway Series moment.<\/p>\n

\"C\u00f3<\/p>\n

Instead, it came from a cropped photo.<\/p>\n

That alone says plenty.<\/p>\n

WFAN host Evan Roberts<\/strong>, a well known and unapologetic Mets<\/strong> supporter, went on a full blown rant over the Yankees\u2019 social media team<\/strong> posting an old image of a young Giancarlo Stanton<\/strong> wearing a Mets hat, with the image edited in a way Roberts clearly found offensive.<\/p>\n

He called it \u201clittle brother stuff\u201d<\/strong> and insisted the move \u201cneeded to be called out.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also tried to claim it did not bother him.<\/p>\n

That part was the least believable part of the whole segment.<\/p>\n

Because if there was one thing the rant made obvious, it was this: it absolutely bothered him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And in trying so hard to frame the Yankees as insecure, Roberts ended up doing the exact opposite.<\/p>\n

He did not expose the Yankees.<\/p>\n

He exposed the deep sensitivity that still exists in parts of the Mets fan base whenever the conversation turns to status, relevance, and who really runs baseball in New York.<\/p>\n

That is what made the segment so uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
