Live TV. There’s Nothing Like It.

Posted on July 12, 2011 by

Perhaps I’m partisan, but I really enjoy Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy on NESN’s Red Sox games. Orsillo is a superior play-by-play man who could work anywhere.  Remy‘s the townie you want to have a beer with, except that he put in … Continue reading →

It’s a Long Season

Posted on April 8, 2011 by
