Job Hunting:

Larry Dierker is looking to get back into baseball:


One summer's vacation from baseball was enough for former Astros player, broadcaster and manager Larry Dierker. He's ready to get involved again.
''I didn't miss it so much last year because it was the first summer I'd had off since my junior year in high school,'' Dierker said Wednesday. ''Now I feel like I'm ready to do something. I've written a book. I could probably keep writing. I'd like to broadcast.''

Dierker served the team over a 38-year span before he resigned after the 2001 season. The club announced Wednesday that Dierker would be an occasional host at ''Larry's Big Bamboo,'' a new bar to be located at Minute Maid Park.

''I've kind of gotten a little anxious to get back into the flow of things and this is a little step in that direction,'' Dierker said. ''I hope there will be more steps in that direction.''


With Buck Showalter leaving ESPN, maybe Dierker can fill his shoes.
