Huston Street and Chris Iannetta congratulate each other after learning that Purple Row will be on KOA's pregame show. Or not. They're celebrating today's victory over the Padres.

On Monday, Deep Purple mentioned that KOA's Chris Lewis plugged Purple Row the day before. Later that night Chris Lewis contacted me and attached a copy of that plug. You can listen to it here: Purple Row on KOA.

I completed a short interview with Chris that will air during the pregame show this Sunday. So tune in if you want to find out how my voice sounds. That's not all. I don't want to spoil it all since nothing is concrete yet, but Purple Row should have more spots on the show in the future. More details when they become available.

Ok.

So I just listened to the PR plug on KOA. I guess I will have to wait until Sunday to hear the real thing? There better be a link since I don’t get KOA’s pregame feed.

You should

be able to stream the pregame show live on the internet.

I hope so

For some reason I can’t pick up the 850 signal in my apartment. I have no idea why, but it’s just static, even though it should theoretically be the strongest AM signal in the area.

Any idea around what time it will be on?

It it’s after I leave for church, I’d love to be able to listen somehow after the fact.

Do you have a concrete idea of when they'd be running the segment/how long it is?

Yeah, we all knew that already, but getting some props from the likes of KOA is extra sweet. Congrats!

I just joined yesterday

So I suppose i’m part of that growth, I like the blogs because the only chance I get to watch the games up here is when they play the Cubs or if they snag a game on espn though I can’t remember the last time that happened so I keep track on mlb gameday. So thanks for keeping me informed purplerow you now have a member all the way in North Dakota!

That's awesome and welcome

We have members from all over the USA and around the world...but you are the first from North Dakota. At least that has shared that. We are pleased to have you

Love how I always get a mention for the world...

But for the new guy, if you’ve got a halfway decent connection up there, go ahead and get the MLB.com package if you can. That’s how I’m watching the games… although for me half of them are played while I’m asleep.

For the rowbot who lives closest to the Greenwich meridian? I’m more northerly than nodakroxfan, too.

I lived in Budapest for four months

and that is further north than anywhere in the continental US. Do I get and antelope head or something?

But don't "the Dinger ones"

involve multiple instances?

It’s gonna take a LOOOOONG time for Rox Girl to wipe those blackmail items offa the books completely.

But seriously, congratulations, Purple Row is really starting to build on its notoriety. And frankly, it’s one of the most readable sports blogs out there, of any kind.

It was a one time mistake, okay?

ONE TIME. You have no idea how convincing those Dinger hexes can be after a World Series loss and a couple of Pink Ladies.

Do you want me to add pink ladies with the ice cream?

I do also want to say

that this comment and others like it aren’t meant to displace Rox Girl’s status on the site. She makes Purple Row what it is, and that Purple Row is everyone’s blog. I just happened to be the guy in the right place and right time when the opportunity came.
