Bartender Mo sent a message to Yankees fans on Monday.
Now, Hank Azaria, the prominent Mets fan who voiced the infamous “Simpsons” character, appeared on “NFL Live” to promote the alternate cast for the Simpsons-themed “Monday Night Football.” That's what I did.
Host Laura Rutledge asked Azaria to express her inner “moe” and tell Yankees fans who stopped by Moe's Tavern to drown their sorrows over the loss of Juan Soto to the Mets that her character was watching. asked them to explain what they would say.
“Now you know what it's like to be the little brother that no one cares about,” Azaria said in a cute voice. “Let's just say something big and big to all the Yankee fans out there. Like, “Oh, I love the Mets.'' Oh, we root for the Mets. We like the Mets. “Yeah! Well, what about us now? We took Soto from you. ”
Dan Orlovsky leaned over his studio desk and laughed at Azaria's response.
Soto agreed to a massive 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets on Sunday night, marking a big moment for the Amazons as they outbid their big-name free agent rivals.
The slugger was with the Yankees last season, posting a .989 OPS and hitting a career-high 41 home runs, helping the Bombers advance to the World Series.
Azaria, who voices multiple characters on “The Simpsons,” was born in Queens and has been a lifelong Mets fan, making many appearances at Citi Field since throwing out the first pitch in 2017.
He played in the Mets' playoff game this season, when the Amazons lost to the Dodgers in six games in the NL CS.
Azaria has never hidden his love for the Mets, saying: “I'm a New York fan. Baseball Hall of Fame interview.
“I've loved all sports, but I've been a huge Mets fan for as long as I can remember. I'm a Mets fan, but I'm not a baseball fan. There's a difference,” Azaria said.
“I think there are some people who adopt Mets, but unless you were born a Met, I don't understand why anyone would do that,” he added. “And I certainly was. I grew up in Forest Hills, maybe 15 minutes from Shea Stadium. My dad wasn’t the best at sports, but he still made it clear that I loved sports. You took me to the game. I'll never forget the first time you walked down that breezeway and saw the fields in front of you.”
