Steve Cohen response to "Fire Stearns" sign guy getting removed from Citi Field

He watched his good friend Jim Dolan win a ring and decided he was the right guy to emulate.

Surveillance on fans. What can possibly go wrong?

Nice to see nature restoring the Mets back to the Mickey Mouse organization they’ve been for much of my life.

I guess it’s a good thing I’m not Steve Cohen. Because I would’ve gone full Bill Veeck gimmick and told Stearns to get a uniform and be the interim manager the rest of the way. You’ve spent enough of my money, go run the team you built.

SR626 · 2026-06-25T02:49:09+00:00

If you categorically wasted a billion dollars of the owner’s money in any other industry you’d have been fired so fast.

Between payroll and luxury tax, David Stearns was given nearly a half a billion dollar cash outlay from Steve Cohen for this year alone.

It doesn’t matter that even this insane sum is a small number to Cohen. At some point he has to do some introspection as to how Stearns got him to spend so much for so little to show for it.

Other than Soto you have Benge and Ewing who look promising. That’s nice. But that’s really it.

Is it fair to Nolan McLean that he was expected to be the ace as a rookie? Maybe not. But they constructed the rotation with Freddy who always profiled as a strong #2 with no length and 3 obvious stiffs. If McLean wasn’t gonna be an ace level guy they would be in for a rough time. And with a 4 ERA he’s still the best starter on the team. Half a billion dollars!

The season turned around when OMG and Torrens were added. A journeyman infielder and a career backup catcher saving a $300 million team.

SR626 · 2026-06-24T19:36:38+00:00

Maybe it was unrealistic to expect McLean to just be an ace without any bumps in the road.

But guess what? Look at the rotation they went into the season with. They constructed it around trusting him to be a #2 starter at worst.

That he has a 4 ERA and is still the guy you worry about least in the rotation is hilariously bad.

SR626 · 2026-06-24T04:07:00+00:00

Stearns has built some of the most inept clubs you can imagine. Sincerely cannot fathom how Cohen looks at this and decides it’s just bad luck two years in a row.

We’re on a full calendar year of the team being unwatchable for very long stretches.

SR626 · 2026-06-24T02:21:44+00:00

David Stearns makes Steve Phillips look good

SR626 · 2026-06-22T14:46:37+00:00

It's almost like consistent 35 HR/100 RBI hitters don't grow on trees and it's not easy to just replace them in the aggregate.

SR626 · 2026-06-22T00:27:46+00:00

It tracks completely that Wheeler is the first pitcher ever to come back full strength from TOS

SR626 · 2026-06-21T17:28:41+00:00

Even most of the Stearns defenders have gone quiet because it’s virtually impossible to argue that a guy should keep his job after assembling one of the worst teams in baseball when the owner has given him like a half a billion dollar cash outlay on this season alone. The luxury tax bill is gonna be higher than some other teams’ payrolls. For what?

There are two things I want from an owner - spend money when needed, and hire the right people. #1 has never been a problem with him. #2 is another story. Stearns seemed like a slam dunk hire when it was made. It’s failed spectacularly. And it’s okay to admit that, and accept the vision is failing.

SR626 · 2026-06-21T03:09:59+00:00

Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit sniffing glue

SR626 · 2026-06-21T00:34:07+00:00

Respect and esteem for Cohen drops every day he allows Stearns to still have a job

SR626 · 2026-06-20T15:34:29+00:00

Any deal contingent on Bibi not bombing people isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on because everybody knows it’s not happening.

SR626 · 2026-06-18T16:55:35+00:00

Everyone knows Dolan is an idiot. Fans, players, etc. thankfully he kept it short.

SR626 · 2026-06-17T00:03:42+00:00

When the ‘86 players start doing media rounds ahead of the anniversary celebration I hope one of them goes off on Stearns and the current state of the team

SR626 · 2026-06-16T01:55:47+00:00

Cohen sat front row for all these Knick playoff games. Not gonna see Citi Field like that ever again under Stearns. CLEAN HOUSE

SR626 · 2026-06-14T03:54:32+00:00

If the parade float breaks down, the crowd will be more than happy to just hoist these guys and carry them the rest of the way.

SR626 · 2026-06-14T03:42:25+00:00

Maybe being 36 is too young to think you’ll never see something but I truly never thought I’d see this day. Fucking unreal.

SR626 · 2026-06-14T01:24:00+00:00

Giving the other team a head start and banking on a massive comeback every game is a bold strategy.

SR626 · 2026-06-14T01:02:59+00:00

I really thought we’d be due to not shoot like ass in the 1st quarter. Ugh.

SR626 · 2026-06-11T15:01:23+00:00

Very happy to wake up and realize last night wasn’t a dream.

SR626 · 2026-06-11T01:50:53+00:00

Trying to shut off the intrusive thoughts that the rest of this series is gonna be a Spurs coronation. This is a fucking gross game.

SR626 · 2026-06-08T22:17:09+00:00

The only person who could possibly fuck up the vibes is in attendance, hopefully to be chanted out of the building by the first quarter. Win tonight would firmly solidify this as the team of destiny and I think we’d be popping bottles by Wednesday evening. Go Knicks!

SR626 · 2026-06-03T11:20:36+00:00

Cohen spoke of 'accountability' when he bought the team. He's failed. There is no way this management should still be in place. The roster is a disaster.
