All the proceeds from RemDawg, 100% of it goes to charity, so give the guy a break. Selling all the scorecards etc. is part of the fun, part of the charm of Remy. He’s got fans all over the world and they just want a little something to feel like their part of the team. Lighten’ Up for God’s Sake!

With over 29,000 minutes of broadcasting I think its great that they try to break up the basic old fashion boredcasts. I find myself laughing with them, not at them. When the game gets serious, they do too, thats all that matters.

Most people on here are a bunch of whining stick in the muds from what I am reading. My guess is you are FOX fans and like Joe Buck.

Both of these guys are completely annoying. All we want them to do is call the game and stop the high school antics. They really are NOT FUNNY, can someone please explain this to the management?! The shameless cross promotion is just terrible. I think if Don was alone he would be OK – or, if Remy could remember he is suppose to be the color guy, not auditioning for Comedy Central, he could save himself.

Disapprove!!

I feel Remy has lost his fastball & a change is needed. its just a fact. And the right guy is waiting to tak eover & would be better. We all know that guy is Eckersley!

Highly approve. I don’t care what he sells, how often he sells it, or anything else.

Hands down the best color man in MLB (I have the MLB package and there are MUCH worse out there, including the jackass ESPN continues to employ on Sunday nights).

The silly stuff does get to you from time to time, but the guy seems to love what he does and is VERY good at it.

First, TV media people who were former players automatically get an ‘Approve’ rating simply because of that. They have a perspective of the game that someone like, Ohhhhhhh, I don’t know, BUTCH STEARNS or STEVE BURTON or DAN SHAUGHNESSY will never have (not to pick on anyone in particular). So I give Remy a ‘thumbs-up’ because of that. Second, the guy is FUNNY! The duo of Remy and Orsillo may wear thin to some, but I love it! They balance out good play-calling with good analysis with tear-inducing funniness. What else is there? APPROVE!

I will never understand the fascination with this guy. If Tommy Heinsohn is the lovable grandfather, then Remy is the bitter uncle. It’s irritating listening to him NEVER give credit to an opposing team’s players or snidely mock something about the other organization (”I don’t get this short left field in Houston; Oakland never signs it’s own players; Team X is just one or two players away, but they just won’t go get them” etc ect). Nothing is ever as good as the Sox and they’re a juggernaut team.

I am in the minority and will watch the ESPN broadcast when it’s available, so I won’t have to hear his chain smoking voice and slapstick, not funny comedy with fatty Orsillo.

Very eye-opening stuff, Frank. Helps explain the cold shoulder between Jerry & Sean on Remy Night.

By the way, great utility infielder reference from late 70s/early 80s when I first started following the Sox. Jack Brohamer, Ted Sizemore and Frank Duffy made quite a motley trio back in the day.

BTW, I entered a hotel business center a few years back as Jerry was departing and I sat down at the one and only computer in the room and, imagine, it’s most recent web site history showed this site!

Get off his nuts guys. So he self promotes. Big deal. Who doesn’t with the Sox 2004-2008 run? You’d replace him? Because he promotes for 10 minute every three hours; and accept, in return, someone who sucks for three hours but doesn’t promote for 10 minutes? PLEASE!

I AGREE! THIS HAS BECOME A HYPE NESN AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR CREDIBILITY JOB. BUT WHAT COULD YOU EXPECT FROM A CHANNEL THAT HIRES THE LIKES OF ORSILLO AND CARON! POOR ECK! HE DESERVES BETTER!
