Michael Kay took some extra glee in saying “See ya” to the 2025 Mets.

The Yankees’ television announcer and ESPN radio host took a dance on the grave of the Mets after their historical collapse following what he believed to be bush-league antics by certain fans throughout the offseason and during the season.

“Again, every Met fan out there. I feel for you. I do. And I don’t rejoice in your pain at all but it’s that vicious, angry subset of Mets fans that weren’t hugged by their parents, who didn’t have any love in their family and they love to pass along hate; derisive, nasty, those I don’t feel sorry for,” Kay said on his self-named show Monday.

“Let me tell you a little secret: I feel glee about your pain today because you deserve it. The way you tried to make my life a living hell by all those Juan Soto tweets, when you know that I never even said the stuff you’re accusing of me saying, but you needed something to hang on the rim about and said let’s pick the guy who announces Yankees games and is also accessible on the radio show, let’s do it to him. But now, I’m the one who’s laughing at you because you couldn’t beat out the Cincinnati Reds with a $110 million payroll. You added the great Juan Soto to a team that went to Game 6 of the NLCS and you didn’t make the playoffs the next year. How do you wrap you mind around that?”

Kay made it clear that his anger is not geared toward all Mets fans, but those who have been chirping him throughout the year.

He indicated that his beef is focused on those who spent all offseason clowning the Yankees — and, by proxy, him — for winning the Juan Soto bidding in the offseason.

That Soto bravado then carried over into the regular season when some Mets fans took issue with his report that the ex-Yankee was “very, very glum around the clubhouse.”

That report emerged during the first edition of the Subway Series, with Soto not performing like he had with the Yankees.

Soto ultimately responded to post an amazing season, slashing .263/.395/.525 with 43 homers and 105 RBIs along with 38 steals.

Kay alleges some Mets fans went above and beyond to rip him for that report.

“I gotta a lot of Mets friends. They’re devastated today. How could you not be?” Kay said. “This team systematically rips your heart out. And those are the people I genuinely for. I really feel for them. The people that I don’t feel for, the people that made me think that it might be fun today to come on today at 1 o’clock and just giggle for two hours. You know who you are. You’re the creeps that couldn’t let good enough be. You’re the ones, ‘We’re big brother now.’ You’re the ones who kept sending those tweets out to me, ‘Juan Soto looks happy now.’ How dumb do you feel? How chagrined are you? Are you embarrassed?

“Because this was going to be a dawning of a new era. The Yankees were going away. When they went 20-31 over those 51 games, you were rejoicing. ‘I don’t think the Yankees can make the playoffs. See, they couldn’t do it with their Plan B.’ Plan B worked. Your Plan A didn’t. You signed the best free agent available in a long time. One of the best players ever to become a free agent, just a smidge behind Alex (Rodriguez) … that’s how valuable Juan Soto is and you still felt flat on your face.”

While Kay is having his fun, he’s setting himself up for some awful days on social media should the Yankees fall flat in the playoffs.

The Yankees are favored against the Red Sox in the wild-card series, but their 8/1 World Series odds at DraftKings are sixth-best and third among AL teams, trailing the Mariners and Blue Jays, respectively.
