GAY.
In my opinion, Remy is a one-trick-pony who spends most of his time promoting himself offering very little actual insite or anyalisis of the game.
John Madden vs. Troy Akemen.
Eck\'s comentary, while not as apealing to the slightly (to very) drunk crowd is, I think, a bit more intelligent than Remmys.
Don\'t get me wrong; I love Remmys antics, but that\'s what they have become, antics, not comentary. -

Listen to YES and you will love listening to Remy and his antics.

NESN\'s Remy takes leave of absence
Color commentator completing recovery from cancer surgery

BOSTON -- Jerry Remy, the popular Red Sox color commentator for NESN, will be off the air for the foreseeable future in an effort to fully recover from cancer surgery.
NESN.com released a statement Wednesday night announcing that Remy, who flew back to Boston midway through the team\'s last road trip, is taking an indefinite leave of absence.
The press release was the first public mention that Remy had undergone surgery for lung cancer late last year.
"I want to focus on completing my recovery so that I can return to work without distractions or interruptions," said Remy in a statement.
Remy does not doubt that his lung cancer was brought on by years of smoking. By going public with his condition, Remy hopes others will learn from it.
"I hope that disclosing my bout with cancer will reinforce the dangers of smoking to every member of Red Sox Nation, especially children," Remy said.
Remy, 56, also missed a large portion of Spring Training, but was back on the air for Opening Day, his 22nd in the broadcast booth for the Red Sox.
"Jerry is beloved, and on behalf of everyone in Red Sox Nation, I want him to know that he is in our thoughts," said Red Sox chairman Tom Werner. "We will sorely miss him in the broadcast, but the most important thing is that he takes all the time he needs to recover."
Slowing Remy\'s recovery was an infection and subsequent case of pneumonia.
Though Remy was a solid Major League player, hitting .275 over a 10-year career (1975-84) that included six seasons with his hometown Red Sox, he has become far more popular in Red Sox Nation during his time in the booth.
Dubbed the "Rem Dawg," Remy has reached cult-figure status, entertaining fans over the years with his playful banter with current play-by-play man Don Orsillo, and before that, Sean McDonough.
Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley will continue to fill in for Remy for the remainder of Boston\'s five-game homestand, which started Wednesday night.
Dave Roberts, Boston\'s 2004 postseason hero who was recently hired as a studio analyst by NESN, will work the team\'s upcoming, six-game road trip.
No decision has been made yet about who will join Orsillo after May 17.
"As part of the NESN family, we want Jerry to concentrate on his health and getting well. When he\'s ready to return, his place in the booth will be waiting for him," said NESN president Sean McGrail. "In the meantime, we ask everyone to respect Jerry\'s privacy so that he can focus fully on his recovery."

Hate to say it, but I think that helps the case that big poppi was on the juice also, he\'s slimmed down a lot and can\'t hit a ball since manny left, and they were buddy buddy with one another.

So...Manny Ramirez (and presumably) David Ortiz take steriods and all of a sudden the Red Sox win 2 world series titles in 3 years after not winning one for 90 years previous to that...hmm...coincidence? More like:
Boston Red Sox World Series Champions 2004* and 2007*
* Cheat to win
At least the Yankees weren\'t cheating when they won their titles -
