If we wanted to watch a talk show, there are plenty of them on at other times (“Season is a cool one for Red Sox [team stats] on NESN,” Aug. 15). We want to watch and listen to a ballgame, not inning-long interviews, not previous interviews from another commentator, not personal life stories and discussions about food, clothes, telephones, TV, silly dating games and much giggling. NESN and the Red Sox have created an egomaniac in Jerry Remy, who thinks he can do or say whatever he wants, even reading a newspaper, and Don Orsillo just caters to him. We only need one announcer, not three commentators. Folks, listen to Joe Castiglione on the radio if you really like Red Sox baseball.
