    I don't want a pickup truck in the first place. I really don't want one with a dent in the fender or a broken window.

    While I understand needing advertising and promotion dollars and adding some character and quirks for the fans, this seems like a bit much. I will take a wait and see approach to this.

    Nice to see the Reds adding a few amenities each offseason to spice up the park a bit. It's a good feeling knowing the team is continually moving away from the cheapness known as Carl Lindner.

    I do have a feeling that truck may suffer a few dents and maybe some broken glass during BP sessions.

    I think it's slightly lame that it has to be a Reds hitter to hit the truck because it sounds like Dunn is probably the only hitter that could realistically hit the truck (maybe Griffey and possibly Bruce in the future).

    The big question is, is the trust on display the one the winner gets? Who wants a truck that's been pummled by a baseball? I'm sure the winner gets a new truck, but the article didn't say.

    Ok, who besides me saw this and thought "How many highlights did Eric Gregg ever have?" (I mean, besides the extra foot he used to give Maddux/Glavine on the outside corner?)

    There has been/is tremendous flooding here. All the rivers are murky, even the smaller, faster running ones.

    I'll be more than happy to take the truck off someone's hands if it's dented.....

    Give me a $31,000 truck for free and I'll gladly fix the dent.

    If you're going to a ball game expecting fine dining, you're in the wrong place.

    I see a new target for Dunn during BP.
