Today’s Reds Caravan Poster #7 featuring @DatDudeBP and Bob Miller…
Be sure to collect all of the numbered unofficial Reds Caravan posters right here on BOR. And don’t forget, you can join in on the fun by sending me (jramsey@reds.com) your very own specially-designed poster. If it’s good and in good taste, I’ll post it right here on BOR.
My colleague Larry Herms, who’s beginning to get annoyed by all of these “Rock Star” posters, decided to take matters into his own hands and submit a poster of his tour – the Western Tour, aka “The Major League Leg.”
Nice work, Herms. You got those “creative juices” flowin’!

It didn’t take long for the Caravan poster craze to catch on…
Knowing that I’m probably only going to create and post Southern Leg Tour posters, BOR reader Jason Lawrence, who’ll be attending a North Tour stop, took it upon himself to create a couple of brilliant posters advertising the Northern boys. Here they are…
I can confirm that a few members of the Reds Front Office laughed out loud when they saw the one featuring Thom Brennaman. Nice job, Jason!
If you folks would like to contribute to the Caravan Poster craze, feel free to email your works of art to me at jramsey@reds.com. If they’re well done and in good taste, I’ll post them here on BOR.

There’s some talk about broadcasting a few 2012 Spring Training games exclusively on the internet. I’m throwing my hat into the ring for color commentator. If you support that idea, show us by taking it to Twitter with the hashtag #BetterOffSaid. (tongue firmly in cheek on that one).

Today I’m introducing what I hope will be a regular feature here on BOR. I’m calling it my week’s Favorite Five.
