It's hard to believe it's already the end of 2007. Unfortunately, the end of the year means the demise of the Cincinnati Post, which means the Consigliere's Blog will also come to end. Although I think we all appreciate the job that Marc Lancaster did, Trent created and fostered an environment that developed a real community of Reds' fans. He took time out of his busy schedule to blog the games, keep us apprised of breaking news, and answer our questions (no matter how stupid they might be). He even blogged on his off days. (The blog did have a few perks, as the picture on the right shows.) I can't tell you how much fun I had interacting with Trent and other Reds' fans during the games. One of the things that made the blog so great was that we discussed not only the Reds, but topics ranging from music to beer to barbeque. Even though the Reds didn't have a great season, Trent and everyone who commented made it fun and memorable. I hope that everyone who commented on Trent's blog will congregate to another blog during the 2008 season, but I fear it won't be same. Although Trent's blog at the Cincinnati Post has come to an end, hopefully it's not goodbye. Here's hoping to blogging with all of you in 2008!
