BURLINGTON, MA – The resurgent Boston Red Sox have clinched the American League East title, and as the region’s nightly source for Boston sports coverage, Comcast SportsNet and CSNNE.com will provide fans with the most unbiased, independent coverage of the Red Sox each postseason game night.

Former Red Sox infielder and current WEEI midday host Lou Merloni and 98.5 the Sports Hub’s afternoon drive host Tony Massarotti will provide analysis.

Featuring host Bob Neumeier, Merloni, McAdam, Moran and Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, The Baseball Show will preview the Red Sox divisional round series and the Red Sox prospects for a third World Series title in 10 years plus take fan calls and Tweets.

At CSNNE.com, the online home to Comcast SportsNet, Sean McAdam and Maureen Mullen will have pre, post and clubhouse coverage on the Red Sox Talk blog. CSNNE.com will also include all of Comcast SportsNet’s video coverage from the ballpark including player interviews, news reports and analysis.

  2. Why does 98.5 call Tony’s 6 pm show “The Baseball Reporters” when it’s only ever Tony by himself? Is it plural for his massive ego?

    1. He used to interview more guys (like McAdam, and some Globe writers), but I think the title is hearkening a bit to ESPN’s “The Sports Reporters”. The plural is a bit of an illusion, but since Tony isn’t a reporter any more, the entire name is pretty inaccurate.

  3. Having Mazz on CSNNE means I won’t even consider watching it. That guy makes me puke whenever he talks about sucks, crap, and who have they beaten. Why is it that TV can’t figure people don’t want negative, loud, contranian analysts. I don’t want Fred Smerlas butt kissers, but all viewers want are people who call it the way it is, and Mazz is totally incapable of doing that and has to play his TV heel annoying character and to quote Jay Sherman from the old show the Critic “He stinks”
