A screen shot of a Twitter post by John DeMarsico that reads, "This wasn't easy to write. Thank you for taking a moment with it." It contains an image of a statement by John that reads: After 17 seasons with the Mets on SNY, my time directing games there has come to an end. I was incredibly fortunate to help tell the story of this team for nealy half my life - after a lifetime of fandom that made the opportunity feel almost impossible when it began. From the very start, I believed deeply in the idea that baseball is cinema. I poured myself into that belief, gratefly for the trust to take creative risks in service of the game and fans who embraced them. Over time, as the broadcast continued to evolve, it became clear that its future was moving in a different creative direction. Coming to terms with that hasn't been easy - especially when the work mattered this much, and felt so deeply tied to who I am. Mets baseball - and the community around it - became part of my identity in ways I'm still processing. That doesn't disappear just because a chapter ends. I've never been a free agent before. I'm taking a breath, looking ahead, and carrying a lot of pride and gratitude with me - while remaining open to the next place where that same care, curiosity, and belief in storytelling can live. I love this game, this art form, this crew, and the fans who made it matter - and I'll miss it all more than I can put into words. Thank you for watching. - John DeMarsico (signature)

@johndemarsico.bsky.social just announced on Twitter that he he is no longer directing games for SNY. Most devastating loss of the offseason by far!

Bubble waffles?

The Mets are a bit like an intellectual character in a 19th Century Russian novel. They're well-read enough to understand why life just isn't working, and while they make changes every winter, it always seems to come with the precognition that something will go horribly wrong, and there's little recourse but to observe their own downfall. Yankees fandom is more transactional, and depending on how the season turns out, you either cheer the empire or curse Brian Cashman. Rooting for the Mets is existential; you go into every season with hope, but an unquenchable feeling that something will go horribly or maybe even comically wrong. Meaning as a Mets fan does not come from celebrating the team's achievements, but the act of enduring and returning, year after year, with the knowledge that preparation offers no escape. Mets fans essentially become annotators of doomed worlds.

You can tell this guy owns the Mets because even when he celebrates a great run, he’s still like “Now remember everyone, this isn’t going to last, so let’s enjoy it while we can before reality punks us again!”

Have you?
