Any Red Sox fans out there?

I am still in disbelief, regarding Don Orsillo.

These days, Remy and Orsillo are the only reason to watch the dumpster fire known as the Boston Red Sox. Tom Werner owns NESN, so the decision to "change direction" leads to the very top of the organization. After 35 years, I'm seriously considering moving on from the Sox, all together. I haven't forgotten how Tito was shown the door ...

Any Red Sox fan who threatens to quit being a Red Sox fan, was never really a Sox fan to begin with.
With that said, I don't mind Remy and Orsillio, but i think they are somewhat boring, I prefer Dennis Eckersley and someone else who might give more interesting insights into the game. I never like seeing people lose their jobs, but I'm ok with bringing in some new, more active (younger) voices.

Go Red Sox!
Co TB12 GOAT!
Go Patriots!
Go Bruins!
Go Celtics!

The Mariners are the local boys. They'll do just fine.

After all, I'm not really a true fan.

The Red Sox and Mariners records are almost identical, yet you are fine with them, and complain about the Red Sox?
The Red Sox have won 3 World Series since 2004!
The Mariners haven't even been a factor in the same time period!
It's true; as you say, you really are not, nor have you ever been a Red Sox fan.
Go have fun cheering for the Mariners.
Red Sox Nation will be fine without you!
