To Carton’s credit he responded earlier this morning to my email. There are inaccuracies however in his response - see below

Ridiculous email but thanks for taking the time to write so much…..we have been waiting for Joe to send his address so that we can send him the $$$.as soon as he sends it he will get the $$$$ as there is no way for me to guess his address…………..good luck with your radio show and hope it becomes a big success.

Have a great weekend

Joe called 3 minutes after being rudely cut off by Carton and gave the producer his address. Sounds like Carton’s producers dropped the ball, because I doubt Craig would lie. Or perhaps he didn’t take us seriously? Instead of putting together another boring podcast (that no one listens to) perhaps Al Dukes should actually do his job and give Carton the message.

I also believe this response was helped by the publicity on mikefrancesa.com - Those guys have become the watchdog’s of WFAN and hold this station accountable, something that had never been done before. Carton was man enough to at least respond, lets see if he follow through - I will be watching!

As for this small radio show, I put my team of reporters and writers up against anyone at WFAN. Only Ed Randall may know more baseball then us. Howard Megdal of the NY Observer is one of the most forward thinking new baseball minds out there. Joe DeMayo, our baseball insider, has been cited by Jon Heyman of SI.com. Joe Delgrippo continues build a solid resume. Phil Allard is already an established reporter at WCBS 880. Even our newbies, Josh Bender and Jay Sorgen, have radio backgrounds and have been recognized by independent media sites.

You will see this site grow, despite attempts by others to steal our scoops and ignore our presence. We are in the room people and are here to stay!
