Bring back Don Orsillo!
To quote Michael Silverman of the Boston Hearld;
"The banter between Orsillo and Remy was one of the chief reasons viewers tuned into NESN, especially in losing seasons such as this one. No tangent was obscure enough to go off on, and many times, the end result was a fit of infectious giggles."
Beyond that his knowledge of the game and his ability to tell the viewer what is going on without intruding on one's viewing experience are tops among play-by-play men.

Why is this important?
Don Orsillo is as much a part of and voice of the Boston Red Sox as any player or person in management. He is as much a reason to watch the games as is the team playing.
