    Report: This is Don Orsillo's last season

    I have worked closely with people at NESN. Few things:   100% Maar's decision.    Orsillo is unlikely to appear on NESN again, but not 100% sure yet. Even one of the people on the crew tonight has not been informed (Said 'Don isn't here yet but we haven't been told. No idea what's happening...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Jim Murray adds nothing. Seems like a good dude, but just refuses to take on Felger in any capacity, ever.    Example just now:   Felger (paraphrased): Why do the owners keep Goodell around?    Murray: Well he's their golden goose. League makes so much money.    Felger: NO HE DOESN'T. Goodell...

    Who's Your choice for Sox Top of the Rotation Ace?

      Hamels signed his extension in July, before reaching FA. But that was for market value, not a discount

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Late to this, but Gasper turning the tables on Felger for calling him a baby -- when it's actually Felger who turns red/mimics peoples voices like a child -- was phenomenal. Felger is really, really good at what he does. But he does act like a little kid not getting his way when certain points...

    Larry Sanders on the block

    Sanders signed an extension last summer that hasn't kicked in yet, meaning he's pretty tough to move financially. Basically, the Bucks trade him as a guy making $3.05 million (his salary this season), but whoever trades for him acquires him as a guy making $9.4 million (his total salary through...

    Keith Olbermann: New studio host for post-season MLB games

      Yes it appears you're right. It's just a weird crew. First of all, a 5-man crew is just too much. It sucks when they go with 5-6 men crews on Sunday countdown shows, and this is no different. Just no way to get everyone involved enough. Also, this crew had no chemistry when I saw them, which...

    Keith Olbermann: New studio host for post-season MLB games

    Olbermann, Pedro, Verducci, Mark Derosa..and some dude named Dirk Hayhurst doing the studio work tonight. Pre-game was painful..they try and do skits and stuff (similar to TNT basketball broadcasts - which I love) but it just doesn't work with this crew.    What makes the TNT crew so awesome is...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Anyone else find it weird how much Felger went after fantasy football today? Opening night of the NFL, Pats 3 days away, Sox just hit 8 homers and play the Yankees tonight..and yet in my 40 minute commute every time I flipped over it was:   1. How fantasy has seeped into the actual game 2. STAT...

    Koji Uehara: one of the 20 best relief seasons ever?

    Mariano Rivera in 1996   107.2 IP, 2.09 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 130 K, 34 BB, 240 ERA+   Where things get really insane - opposing hitters slashed .189/.258/.228(!!) for an OPS of .486 and an OPS+ of 24. This was Mo's one year as Wettelend's set-up man and it was probably his most dominant year.    Also...

    Mut and Merloni

      5 out, but only 3 in the loss column. And one of those AL West teams is going to win the division..so really only 3 teams to jump. Not saying I'd pick them, but they've been red hot (15-4 since the break) and their pitching has been dominant.

      Agreed. Was actually laughing my ass off. Good way to mix it up for the normal 'hot sports takes'.

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Turned it on today for the 10 questions for Wiggy segment. Heard a pretty interesting debate on whether you'd rather have fingers the size of legs, or legs the size of fingers. Wiggy went with leg sized fingers because there's just no way your finger sized legs could support your upper body...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Not answering for everyone but I listen a few times a week because I like sports and when I get in my car/turn on my TV..they're there. I also liked the show a lot for like 2 years so I'm hoping that it gets better..kind of like being in a relationship that's awesome and then turns shitty but...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

      But, but, but..they haven't won it all in 9 years!   Don't you know that if the team stopped trying to win at the negotiation table, and put their egos aside, Kevin Faulk wouldn't have fumbled in '05, Troy Brown wouldn't have run the wrong route in '06, Asante Samuel would have caught the...

    Jacksonity......or the Knick thread

     Chandler passed on a knee exam, saying he can run - and therefore will play. But still, NY is facing a brutal schedule the next 3 games. Celts are 4 back (5 in the loss column) and if they can cut that deficit to 3 in the loss column by the 3/26 match-up in NYC..that game becomes pretty damn...

    GREEESHHHHH!

    I've worked with Gresh on and off over the past few years and this is absolutely true. Off the air in fact, it's FAR worse. The guy hates everything, and everyone that has ever doubted a single word he's said. He hates former co-workers and interns who made jokes about him 4 years ago. On the...

    GREEESHHHHH!

    Did anyone happen to hear Gresh today during the switch over from T&R to G&Z? He mentioned Amelie Benjamin being suspended for "looking at Red Sox players weiners" while she was on the beat. It was awkward as shit. I can't imagine that going over well after Felger got in trouble for talking...

    Basically yes. Although Wallach is there, and he's not a legit host. More of a glorified flash boy.
