I'm probably wrong but I have a feeling Mr. Burns has something to do with it.
There are so few options for NESN that are non-cable, this makes one less.
Can Haggs just go away already?
He's emblematic of the reason why nobody respects journalists.
My bad, for some reason I thought the Bruins owned most of NESN, but its actually the Garden I think. Won't miss anything else that NESN has. Baseball games are way too long now. Charlie Moore? pfffft.Which Mr Burns though? Montgomery Jeremy Jacobs or John "More shoes for Linda" Henry?
His voice had a special place in my mornings as a kid in the 80's. I can remember the sound of him saying, "THE Brruins..." in his morning Big Mattress sports report like it was yesterday. RIP.
Same here. I remember being in high school in '86 and standing in line to get Sox playoff tickets. Tank was trying to do a live update and some jackass around the corner kept unplugging a cord of some sort. He let out a string of profanities like I've never heard before.His voice had a special place in my mornings as a kid in the 80's.

Kyle Draper, who brought an energetic approach to NBC Sports Boston’s Celtics studio programming the past seven seasons, is leaving to become a play-by-play announcer and host for the Sacramento Kings.
The Kings announced Draper’s hiring Monday afternoon. He will be the Kings’ additional play-by-play announcer. Longtime ESPN voice Mark Jones was recently named the team’s primary play-by-play voice. Draper will handle the play-by-play duties alongside analyst Doug Christie when Jones is on assignment for ESPN.
A lot of memories with Mike Shalin going back to Winter Haven.
RIP Amigo
Mike Shalin, a gregarious fixture at Fenway Park first as a baseball writer and then as the Red Sox’ official scorer, has died at age 66. He had been battling brain cancer for several months.
Shalin covered the Yankees for the New York Post and then the Red Sox for the Boston Herald from 1980-2005. Since leaving the Herald, he had been the official scorer at Fenway Park.
A passionate baseball fan with a sharp sense of humor, he was a popular and welcoming figure in the Fenway press box.
Shalin, who also wrote for United Press International in the late 1970s before joining the Post, wrote several baseball books, including “Out by a Step: The 100 Best Players Not in the Baseball Hall of Fame” and “The Hometown Team: Four Decades of Boston Red Sox Photography,” with photographer Steve Babineau.
News of Shalin’s death brought countless tributes on social media from friends in the Boston media and beyond, including Keith Olbermann, Kenny Albert, and Michael Kay.
