Hazel Mae leaving NESN

Yes! I've been waiting for this for the last two years!

Say it ain't so!

If I'm sad, Mikey Adams must be in tears!

And you omitted the most important question following the lead story...where is she going?

so it ain't so. What's going on ay NESN???? first Tina, now hazel?

Glad to see her go...I wasn't a fan of her or Cervasio. Time for better blood.

Thank you Hazel Mae. you made being a Red Sox fan more fun. I'll miss your magic.

where is she going?

Good, I hated her since day 1

Thanks for a job well done. good luck.

bye and please don't come bacl

and......?

Bummer - will miss you Hazel.

I hope you are coming back to Canada!

Where is she going next?

What a shame. I wondered what NESN did to her to make her quit.

Wonderful news.....its just 4 years too late. Now we just need to talk Tina into coming back and send Heidi back to the Swiss Alps.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Who cares!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Replacement = Bob Lobel

This is an absolute crime, Hazel Mae should not be allowed to leave our airwaves. She did not clear this with me or, I'm sure, her many other fans. Bless her for her spirit and talents, she'll be missed. Waaaaaaaaaa!!!

Hazel will be missed. I'm sure I speak for every male fan in saying she certainly kept us interested over the years.

Good Luck to you Hazel.

That said-FINALLY-I'm not going to miss her stupid euphamisms.

Good luck Hazel! Hope to see you in the national spotlight sometime soon. Your a very passionate sports personality. Dont ever lose that fire you have inside of you that you have for sports.

One of your biggest fans

Hazal was the reason I watched in the morning. Smoking Hot Chick that knew her stuff and , well talked about the Red Sox's. Now what!!! Good luck Hazal, you will be missed.

What? First the other one and now this one? What are their names again??

What's the real reason behind the departure?

I'm glad to see her go

Umm...one thing the article glaringly avoids covering -- where's she headed?

Thank God you are leaving. I for one could not stomach your "cute" phrases. I do hope you mature in your next job and stop being the child that you were here.

Hazel is a super babe and as far as I'm concerned,I'm not watching it anymore!

This is sad day in Red Sox Nation

This is how I prefered Hazel........... Gone. Good Riddance, and please stay gone.

Sports desk just won't be the same. All the best Hazel, you'll be missed

So why is Hazel leaving? Was she fired? Contract not renewed? (perhaps NESN is too "cheap"?)

Did NESN wanted yet another blonde? Is Hazel going to the Yankees' YES network? What's the reason?

NESN is going downhill... I really hate their new "dead on" Fenway camera view by the way... the players (pitcher, catcher, umpire and batter) all appear to be stacked on top of each other (not unlike today's video games). I miss the default "left center" view that most of MLB uses (and has used successfully for decades). Plus, NESN's score bar disappears far too frequently. Low budget at NESN?

I'll miss Hazel. (*)(*)

obnoxious

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FUN TIMES SPORTS UPDATES AND YOU JUST BEING YOU HERE IN BOSTON. ITS SAD TO SEE YOU GO BUT YOU WILL BE MISSED AND LOVED BY ALL OF US HERE IN BOSTON.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Hazel don't leave Boston! Oh man I hope she ends up on Comcast and bounces out Felger or on one of the local broadcasts 4,5 or 7. Damn!

Hazel will be missed in New England. She did a fantastic job at NESN. I'll be watching a lot less of NESN in the future............

I'm not going to miss her stupid buh byes and other stupid phrases...

Personally I prefer someone who actually KNOWS sports and am not watching for her puppies.

Oh well. Hey had to listen to her for what...30 sec promo's during sox games. BIG DEAL! I'm now on the left coast and still avid fan of the sox. So as long as Don and Jerry are around who cares. I don't watch to sox games to see pretty women, I watch the sox games cause I love the sox. Neeeext!

We are disappointed on NESN's decision on NOT renewing Hazel Mae's contract. We know how popular the Red Sox is but, you also rely on advertising revenue. For the past FOUR (4) years we have encouraged our community to watch the post game merely because of HAZEL's wonderful job, pleasant personality and pride of our community

Because of your decision, we'll disseminate this information to all ASIAN viewers and ask them NOT to watch the post game shows that will affect your advertising standing.

She's the only ASIAN in your Broadcast Team that represent's our community.

GOOD BYE AND GOOD LUCK ... I know my son will be sad to hear your leaving !

Hazel brought her own flare, personality and everday fan perspective to Boston sports programming.
I'm saddened "Haze Daze" will be no more.
I don't know what NESN is thinking.
Best of luck, Hazel Mae!

I for one am not sorry to see her go. I like seeing knowledgeable women in the industry, but to use certains "assets" as Hazel obviously did, was degrading and embarrassing to me as a woman. I've got many male friends who are disappointed but they can always buy a Playboy. I do wish her luck as she has some talent, but she may want to get a wardrobe that fits and covers a little more. Bring back Tina!!!

Hazel was a ray of bright sunshine who brought a certain essence to the SportsDesk and her other shows. She made the news of sports just what it should be: Light, fun, and cutely witty. Innuendo has it she is not leaving the neighborhood. Good for us; good for Hazel. NESN should open up the coffers a bit wider. First Tina, now Hazel. You know, NESN execs, you do have to pay for our enjoyment.

I've noticed that NESN has hired nothing but blonde women here lately. What's up with that?

Good luck to you Hazel...wherever you're going (???)

Hazel,
I love you and will miss your smiling face...

NESN didn't appreciate your talent, how can they lose you and Tina in the same year ???
Please come to Washington, D.C (MASN) and help us extend Fenway Park South (Camden Yards )...

Best Of Luck !

I've been living out of town for the last couple of years so I don't see Sportsdesk. But I was there when she started so I've seen her, and honestly, I don't understand what the big deal is. I thought she was pretty annoying, and she really isn't that cute. That chick Hiedi thats there now, thats a different story. Keep her around, NESN.

Good luck to Hazel. There has been an obvious change in the NESN quality and product, for the very worse, for 2-3 years now. The DVD from last years WS win was the worst professional production I have ever seen of it's type. The production of the games themselves has dropped off too and whether anyone wants to admit it or not Jerry Remy is either incredibly aloof or putting on an incredible act as being such, both of which are annoying and obnoxious. His self promotion is rank. Once they have camera men who don't try to zoom in on pitches as they leave the hand, we will have an indication that they are paying help better and given Remy a cut.

Thanks for the memories..... Beat LA

With the big money of the Red Sox and Bruins behind NESN, why is this cable network run on the cheap? By all accounts, most of their employees -- including Mae -- receive mediocre pay.

How is over 150k a year mediocre pay? I just think she thought she was hot stuff and could demand an outrageous salary. buh-bye.

GL Hazel.

Mobo at Tufts. Old #27 if memory serves

Bring back Kelly Barons

how can we help i want hazel to stay. damn nesn is SOOO SOOO CHEAP

Hazel, you were always OK with me! "So, long, it's been good to know ya!"

dont leave without me hazel lets get married

I think Hazel is fantastic and I even had a dream last night that she was staying and even married me. Oh well a guy can dream can't he ???

Good luck. You have been a pleasure to watch and listen to in the mornings. Towards that end, I hope NESN knows what it's doing. First Tina, then Hazel. Please keep in mind that you have women in your audience as well who appreciate talented and professional sports reporting and are not more concerned with "eye candy." I know I'm tuning in a lot less now.

really sad to see you go , I hope nesn saves alot of money letting hazel and tina go ,I know they are not thinking of there viewers, I looked foward to seeing her in the morning, It was one of the few bright spots on tv. Good bye and lots of luck hazel and good bye nesn and the WORST LUCK TO YOU , ENJOY THE MONEY YOU THINK YOU ARE SAVING . nesn will never be watch in this house agian....

Hazel, I prefer you staying there forever because you are the great sportsdeck ancher and you are a very beautiful lady ever I always watched you on tv nesn. I totally understand about your situations but I hope you will change in your mind to return your work there in the future. I would like to say GOOD LUCK to you.

Hazel, I will miss you. Any bad comments that I have read should be taken from whence they come, from losers. GOOD LUCK and please let us know were you are going to be on the airways so that we can look for you. Thanks again.

Mean people suck, I cannot believe the horrible comments made here. Hazel provided more professionalism than many of the old timers I have have seen in Boston sports today. I have followed Boston sports since the 60's and Hazel will be missed terribly.
GOOD LUCK HAZEL in all you do. You added some real class to Boston broadcasting.Thanks for the great service

Hazel brightened up my morning as I get ready for work. I am sad to see her go. Thank you for your efforts to make the show enjoyable.

The people who spoke of her negatively. Why don't you take a freaking leap in the Charles River. You bunch of MoMo's. I don't see your sorry ##### in the lime light now do we? Your the types that still live with their parents in the basement and play with their toy teddy and blanket, aren't you?

I'll take Hiedi over Hazel anytime

about time Hazel left...she talked down with everyone and loved to flirt...she is clueless when it comes to sports and an idiot....it is hard to believe they added Heidi...search the country for a plum job and that is the best you can come up with ? take a look at her interviews....dumb questions all around...where are you Tina

Good luck with new gig on XM SIRUS RADIO.

Good luck with new gig on XM SIRUS RADIO.

ITAPPEARS FROM SOME OF THESE COMMENTS, WE DIDN'T DESERVE HER!GTOOD LUCK HAZEL!!

No offense to the current Sports Desk anchors, but it isn't the same without Hazel. She delivered the sports with professionalism and confidence. I enjoyed every time she was on. I was disappointed to see her go. I don't watch Sports Desk as much any more. There just isn't the same flair to it anymore. Best of luck to you Hazel in the future wherever you go. I just hope you eventually land back in Boston.

is it because of Jason Varitek?

I really liked Hazel Mae. I was in Boston eating at a nearby pub with my son. Hazel saw him with his sox shirt on and came walking up to us and starting chatting red sox talk. My son's eyes were beaming because he knew her from NESN and she was beautiful. She gave him a big hug, we took a picture. We sent the picture to her and she signed it with a nice note and sent it back. Her entire time on NESN she was nothing less than a class act.

Some nasty comments by some white beer trashers to one and only beautiful, brain loaded, educated & professional sportscaster ASIANS made me think BOSTON/NEW ENGLAND area still has a remnants of a KLAN. Whoooooaa!
BEAUTIFUL geek ASIANS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO A WHITE GUYS?

See you on MLB Network starting Jan. 1st!!

Can we just get back to sports? I am sick to death of these stupid sideline reporters and I am sick of equal rights. Sorry but women do not mix with baseball, hockey, or baseball. The only way I'd find them interesting is if they reported topless.
"Hey coach - your running back fumbled twice and you're trailing by 14. What are you going to do?"
"Well, we need to hang onto the ball and score more. We need touchdowns instead of field goals."
This would be a typical woman asking a coach her dumb little questions at the half or coming back from halftime.

Hazel......good luck with your new gig in NY. You were a joy to watch. I liked your flirty innuendos and your all around class and professionalism. Miss you dearly already!

How could u worthless Bostonians not appreciate those sweater puppets?!? I just got the MLB network and I'm in love! Baseball just got even better!!! Is that possible? Even if she doesn't know one thing about the game I'll listen to whatever she has to say about the greatest sport.

HAZEL WILL BE MISSED AS SHE DID AN A-1 JOB AND WAS ENJOYABLE TO WATCH.

Just discovered this chick on MLB Net. Decent enough reporter, but pretty damn hot for a 38-year-old. Hate that I missed her early 30s at NESN. One of the hotter Phillipinos around, haters must be into Suzan Waldman types.

Keep stackin' the deck with stacked chicas, MLB Net!!

I also enjoyed Hazel's time, she is hot, but she also did her job very well. All you people talking about bring back Tina, she was horrible, yes she was kind of a MILF, but she was retarted and knew nothing about sports. At least Hazel did a good job at being seemingly somewhat knowledgable about sports, especially hockey, and she had a good personality. Yes, Heidi is very hot, but she is not very good at what she does, lets be honest, she wouldn't have a job if not for her great looks, I think Hazel might! Overall, Hazel will be missed, but we will all see her again in the future on MLB.com!
