Last night at Shea I was interviewed by ESPN 1050's Andrew Marchand about something I did 13 years ago.
Veteran Rieber fans will easily figure out what Marchand wanted to talk to me about. Here's a hint: The L.A. Dodgers are coming to Shea on Thursday.
Marchand told me the interview might be aired on Wednesday or Thursday. Or it could end up on the cutting room floor and never air. I'll let you know when I find out.
Of far greater importance to the Final Score is the conversation I had with Marchand before the interview. I asked him if he could get his buddies at ESPN.com to link to the Final Score just once a month.
Like, Bill Simmons or Peter Gammons could write a line that says, "Hey, check out what the guys at the Final Score have to say about Willie Randolph's job security. Those guys are super terrific!"
Then we would get a million page views and beat Best every single month.
Marchand said he'd get back to me on that one. I don't think he even knows Bill Simmons or Peter Gammons. So I'm not counting on it.
Oh wow! If you read the item from me below about Mike Jarvis, I mention I'd like to do one of those ESPN countdown clocks for Baumbach's return. So then I click over to ESPN 1050's web site and they have a countdown clock...to the Belmont. So they have the technology that we lack.
