The Truck Has Left GABP

The Reds clubhouse men, JD, Mort and Josh gathered 21,000 baseballs among other necessary items and headed to Phoenix on Thursday afternoon.

The New York Yankees have the exact same record as anyone else in the Major Leagues. Every team starts planning for a World Championship beginning in Mid-February.

This blogger will be there starting March 1st.

It is my goal to inform and entertain those that follow the Reds on this blog.

I am planning to include daily sound bites from Dusty Baker's daily meeting with the press. He will be discussing the progress of players and point out the daily goals to player and team development.

Baker is an excellent communicator and is candid and honest. He never ducks tough questions on any subject. He speaks his mind. One can disagree with him but he will back up anything he says.

I'm certain that if you follow the Reds on this blog, it will vecome clear to you as well.

I will give player anecdotes, take you inside the clubhouse, help you get to know the players on a more personal level and give insights to new players to the team.

I will also be your eyes and ears and scout the Phoenix area in case you decide to visit the area.

There is room to post discussions and if you have any questions please forward them. I will try to ask the players and coaches for you.
