@MakeItRain,
thoughts on NESN canning the Red Sox announcer guy? Was he actually good, or was it just cuz he was there during the 3 world series?
Don Orsillo is regarded as one of the best play by play men in the business. His firing was a complete blindside and it was for a really stupid reason. Basically, there is a fairly new guy at NESN who got pissed at Orsillo because NESN now mandates that the on air talent takes two weeks off each season and DO wants to work everyday. Larry Luchino told NESN that they have to keep Orsillo and when Luchino stepped down DO's protection was gone.
Even the "I hate everything" New Englanders, which are essentially all of them, are almost unanimously behind Orsillo here.
Is he good? Hell yes he's good, I'm assuming he'll do TBS playoff games again and he is already being rumored to be the person who will take over for Vin Scully who has not announced his return in 2016 yet.
