Hope Dale resorts back to the Revolution or something else, maybe the Baby "B's"....Red Sox baseball is to interesting and fun for Dale to be tagging along. Good job by John and good back up to Dave O'Brien...Dale do us all a favor and step aside please..next thing you know Dale will be complaining about KG swearing and not bring it up in studio when the guy is on hand....

I am disgusted that the Red Sox have chosen to retain such a weak announcer for so many years, a person whose ability to call a game is just as bad now as it was when he was first hired. Maybe someday he'll learn how to gage whether a fly ball is an easy out or a home run. I often have to depend on the crowd noise in the background to determine what is really going on. Sine the horrid Castig has been now around so long, a whole generaltion of fans do not realize how bad he is because he's all they've ever heard. Most seemingly do not remember Ned Martin or Coleman in their primes. This is sad. What makes it even sadder are the comments about Arnold. Arnold may not be a Martin or a Coleman but he is far more able than Castiglione. He doesn't get highly excited about pop-ups or blaze about ohme runs he thinks are pop ups. When I first heard him calling games I had the faint hope that Castiglione had retired or finally been fired, but then he piped in. i do wish the Sox would come up with new talent, not to replace Arnold, but to replace Castiglione.

Sorry but you missed the boat on Dale...wow that first game was a poor example of professional excitment, description and the effort to make me feel like I was there...weak at best and thank goodness it was the wee hours of the morning and today too, so far...what verdict are you talking about....and Dale just babbles on...this is not sports talk radio...leave some to the imagination....thank goodness he has Michael Holly to carry him during the 10-2 slot....cuz if it wasn't hockey he is lost...although he likes to cackle when talking to the Patriots and likes to call things the "best on the planet"...he is awesome huh...this will really stink when people are up and about during normal baseball hours and want to listen to a game...I guess, thank goodness for satellite radio and we have the option now to switch to the opposing broadcast team...

Dale Arnold did an excellant job. All the haters should pay more attention to the action and less to who is calling it. It really seemed like an effortless transition for him and I never once thought to myself, "Man, this guy can't call a game." Personally I was to busy hootin for my home team who was rallying for the victory in extra innings!

The Red Sox are the most popular team in Boston, and they should have chosen a superior (voice) and personality to represent the "World Class Organization" they have become. Dale Arnold should go back to Hockey (even the NJ Devils) and leave Baseball to the "Professionals." He is arrogant, pompous, and thinks that this is "his world and we are just living in it." Red Sox Baseball on the radio this season with Dale Arnold will no longer be as colorful, entertaining, and enjoyable by the pool, at the beach, and especially in the car. As a Sports enthusiast myself I am saddened by the choice and hope the Red Sox & WEEI will consider this a one year decision. Thanks for the opportunity to voice my opinion via this forum, hopefully other TRUE fans agree and exhibit their enthusiasm for the Red Sox in the same manner.

I can not stand Dale Arnold. I listen to his show in the afternoon during the commercials for Colin Cowherd. Sometimes it gets to the point where I can't even take listening to his whining anymore so I change the channel outright to something else, until Cowherd comes back. I actually like Michael Holley. Its to bad Jason Wolfe doesn't see that more people actually dislike Dale than like him. I would love a poll to be put on the WEEI website and see how people would actually vote. This crap about them being #1 is only due to the success of the Boston sports teams and the passion of its fans. Nothing else. Dale Arnold is a no talent loser who must have some pretty revealling pictures of Jason Wolfe if he keeps on getting gigs from WEEI. I could not agree with the first comment more.
