Don't waste your concern. The pompous gasbag taking the job doesn't need it.I actually feel bad for Orsillo's replacement at NESN. People aren't going to cut him any slack after this debacle.

Agree with you! I liked Orsillo but Dave Obrien is a terrific announcer. He calls ESPN baseball games, soccer and has called the women's final four for the last couple of years. I thought Obrien called that famous "David Ortiz, David Ortiz , David Ortiz " against the Tigers and was heard throughout the country. Just because Orsillo was given the shaft I don't think it's fair to criticize a very reputable announcer. I'm assuming that the Red Sox (Werner) wanted to get away from the Remy , Orsillo comedy hour. Some people like it and other teams fans make fun of it. I heard the rumor of Orsillo leaving since last year . I don't think it was a surprise to anyone. His contract was up.Isn't Dave O'Brian the guy who calls the women's final four games with Doris?
I think he does a very good job with that - didn't sound like a pompous gasbag
to me - unless we're talking about a different guy.
Remy probably will be the analyst but they haven't confirmed. Personally I like Lyons better than Remy . It did take Remy a couple of years to warm up to Orsillo so who knows.So does Remy not do games anymore? We're not allowed to have NESN in SW CT since this part of the state is considered the Yankees territory.
