@MikeSilvermanBB: "It ain't happening" -- Jerry Remy on Ron Darling joining NESN booth next season. #RedSox #Mets Full story: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox_mlb/clubhouse_insider/2015/09/remy_darling_to_nesn_aint_happening
as long as its anyone other then Steve 'I'd be selling insurance in Spokane if i didn't drop my pants at first base' Lyons
Wouldn't surprise me if one reason the Sox were so blindsided by the Orsillo reaction was because they were focused on what would happen in response to a planned Remy transition in the offseason.

Industry sources said that Padres hired Orsillo to a six-year deal, giving him a bump over what he was being paid at NESN

Ron Darling is an excellent analyst, but you would think they could find an exellent analyst WHO WASN'T A FUCKING MET!
Seriously, we got kicked in the balls by this guy and now we're supposed to invite him into our home every fucking night?

I still standby my initial take on this.SeoulSoxFan said:
Please please please let me get what I want.
It was almost 30 years and three championships ago. And Darling didn't keep Buckner at first. Nor did he bring in Stanley.Rasputin said:
Let it go.
Do you like Eckersley? The guy did a shit-ton more to prevent the Red Sox from reaching a World Series with Oakland than help them get there with Boston, which was never. And who did we get for Eck in the 1984 trade with the Cubs?Rasputin said:
FUCK YOU, ECK! GET OFF MY TV!!!!!
Not to mention, Ron Darling took the loss in Game 1 and put the Mets in a 3-0 hole early in Game 7. He's about the last guy I think of in terms of 1986 villains.
Rasputin said:
Did it make you made when Kevin Mitchell, Rick Aguilera, Danny Heep or Dave Magadan wore a Red Sox uniform?
I echo this sentiment. The guy knows his stuff and stays focused on the game, offering terrific insights. An O'Brien/Darling duo would be the best in baseball. However, it looks like it's not to be.LahoudOrBillyC said:
Darling confirming he isn't leaving NY. Mentions how his mother would kill him if he replaced Remy. Talks about being happy with his job, and how replacing Orsillo with an '86 Met probably wasn't a good idea (jokingly).

Did he cite the potential disenchantment of a Red Sox message board member as the deciding factor?
Zolak: FWIW....Ron Darling is 100% after Red Sox gig, trying to get out of NY contract, wants gig badly #factnotopinion.

If Sutcliffe is the color guy next year I would only watch the other team's feed for every Sox game. There's no way I could tolerate him almost every night for 6 months.
Why is everybody worried about Sutcliffe? NESN is obviously run by a bunch of smart people that would never make a hiring and/or firing mistake.
I hear Harold Reynolds is NESN's top choice.
(That's a joke ... I bet it's been discussed there though).

I would almost rather Tim McCarver, if only for the fact that his omnipresence in Red Sox broadcasts might force Ken Tremendous to resurrect FJM to vent his McCarver frustration.the1andonly3003 said:

Guys! Tim McCarver was on the 1967 St. Louis Cardinals teams that beat the Red Sox. Even though I know you're joking, why would you even think of bringing his name up?
Same thing with Joe Morgan in 1975.
I don't know what to believe!
BTW, I had a theory that McCarver was bitter about being cut from the 75 Sox and ultimately not going to another World Series (he played for another FIVE years!) which is why he seemed to hold a grudge against them whenever he called their games.

Ice Cube confirmed that in an interview. Didn't you hear? Tweet it on Twitter.
NortheasternPJ said:
I tweet him about once a month asking for confirmation about this, he always ignores me. Asshole will talk to a Coors Light can but not me.
NickEsasky said:
You want my opinions to be about someone else? I mean, it's one thing if we're talking opinons on public policy, but we're talking about my opinions on the red sox TV color analyst.
John Marzano Olympic Hero said:
I wasn't particularly pleased with any of them, but I choked down Rick Aguilera okay. I'm sure I'll muddle through.
Average Reds said:
That'll teach you to underestimate the power of this space station.
Also, I would infinitely prefer Darling to Sutcliffe, Boone, Morgan, or McCarver.
