Yes, Santa brought me another present, one I wasn't confident I'd ever get.
It seems that Ron Darling is leaving the Washington Nationals (major league baseball) broadcasts and moving over to doing broadcasts of the New York Mets.
Darling was nothing short of a disaster in his debut season as a color commentator for the Nationals. He almost singlehandedly ruined the debut season of the Nationals' broadcasts on TV in the D.C. area. With him gone, perhaps Mel Proctor, the play-by-play man, will get a partner more appropriate to his own much higher talent level.
Anyway, original news can be found at the linked article below.

While the Mets were insisting they have no deal brewing with the Devil Rays for Danys Baez or a three-way swap with the Red Sox and Orioles that would involve Manny Ramirez and Miguel Tejada, the club nevertheless moved closer to bringing former pitcher Ron Darling into the broadcast booth for 2006.
Darling is finalizing a two-year deal with SportsNet New York, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. He'll join Keith Hernandez doing color commentary, while Gary Cohen, the Mets' long-time radio voice, will make his on-screen debut as the play-by-play man.
After spending eight-plus seasons at Shea, from 1983-1991, the 45-year-old Darling has drifted away from the Mets and most recently worked the Washington Nationals' broadcasts, doing color. The Mets are banking on Darling's friendship and chemistry with Hernandez, forged during their years as teammates, as a key to the duo's success in the booth.

Guy, you're making it tough on me. Sorry, I can't help you with the minor league affiliations. I do wish that the Nationals had better though. Maybe you can convince the Braves to sell that team affiliation down there over to the Nats or Mets
