Coming Phriday: The MLB Network, phinished in Phlorida, phixes its sites upon the phabulousness of Phoenix

And Glendale, Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa, Peoria, Goodyear, Tuscon and -- no surprise here -- Surprise.

The MLB Network, baseball's self-supported cable channel,has turned the corner on its "30 Clubs in 30 Days" hour-long specials, and the Dodgers and Angels are the first two stops in Arizona for network correspondents Matt Vasgersian , Trenni Kusnierek and Hazel Mae to seek out and discuss.

Peter Gammons has also made the trip west from New Jersey (and Florida) to take in the Phoenix flavor.

We're here, too, scooting up and down Interstate 10, catching a few games, watching how this MLB thing works. We'll focus on it in Friday's media column, as we just finished hanging out with Vasgersian as he talked to Jered Weaver during his stop at Tempe Diablo Stadium (below) and with Kusnierek as she talked to several Dodgers on her trip to Glendale.

Meanwhile, see the video log of material that MLB.com has with previous "30 in 30" shows (linked here).
