UCB Game Blog: Pre-Game
C70 At The Bat — ... present history in the making.  The first ever progressive game blog (that we know of).  Consider me a less attractive Jeanne Zelasko or a fairly strong representation of Pat Parris from FSN as we get started with today's game.  For navigation purposes, here are the blogs participating.  (Direct links will be added when the posts go up.)

UCB Game Blog: 2nd Inning
The Cardinal Virtue — ... Thanks for stoppin' by. Feel free to stop by in the future as we rant, rave, and review more Cards action. I'll now pass the baton over to Mike at Mike on the Cards. Enjoy the progressive blog and go Cards! ...

United Cardinal Bloggers midsummer roundtable
Fungoes — ... Mike on the Cards: How about when Carpenter returns, he heads to the bullpen, has to drive the cooler, and McClellan gets an early audition for next years rotation? It’s so crazy, it just might work! ...

United Cardinal Bloggers Mid-Summer Roundtable
The Cardinal Virtue — ... Mike on the Cards: As the trade deadline is getting closer and closer, both areas are looking pretty weak. Since we're choosing one, the bullpen gets my vote. Recently the starting rotation has started to come back down to Earth, and it's really taxing the pen. They're all overworked. What may be somewhat underscored, however, is the fact that many of the relievers aren't slotted into any particular role right now. Even though that may change with move of Izzy back to closing, the bullpen still needs help, especially from the left ...

Mid-Season Review, UCB Style
C70 At The Bat — ... and Mike on the Cards--will be posting the transcript of answers to their questions.  (Links will change from the general blog to the specific entry when they go up.) ...

UCB Roundtable: All Star break Q&A
Redbird Ramblings — ... my question was to the guys that participated was: Who do you think will be in the Cardinals starting rotation come opening day 2009? Who should be in or at least get a chance to crack the rotation? Also, come next season, should Ankiel move to right field and give room for Colby to play center? Mike (Mike on the Cards): Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, Kyle Lohse, Joel Pineiro, and the best from a Royal Rumble in Jupiter from McClellan, Wellemeyer, Garcia, and some random NRI. As far as Ankiel goes, even ...

UCB Roundtable
The Cardinal Virtue — ... pleasure to kick off the 2008 end of season roundtable. That’s right I’ve got two roundtables and no, no microphone. Each participating blog writer will bring up a topic for discussion and day after day you the reader will be able to follow the "bouncing ball" as it were--going from blog to blog to view the transcripts of our discussion.

UCB Post-Season Roundtable
Pitchers Hit Eighth :: A St. Louis Cardinals blog — ... project, this time a roundtable of the group of us in which we all get to ask a question of the group, we have an e-mail discussion about said question, then a transcript gets posted for all of you folks to read.  It’s a fancy little idea that I’m excited to be taking part in.

UCB Roundtable Question 2
Rockin' the Red — ... (UCB) have teamed up again for a roundtable session. My question for the group was simple but yielded some good responses: Who should be the Cardinals number one target this off-season and why? I'm a little late in posting this one, but it's been a busy week for this college student and my question had a lot of discussion. Those participating in this discussion include: C70 at the Bat Cardinal Nation Globe The Cardinal Virtue Fungoes Mike on the Cards Pitchers Hit Eighth The Riverfront Times Redbirds ...

UCB Roundtable - The Cardinal Nation Way
Cardinal Nation Globe — ... the game, the sportsmanship, the understanding of, and appreciation for, the history of the franchise and the game, all boil down to that one essential thing: respect for the game of baseball. Even the rivalries that the Cardinals take part in generally stay civil and honourable, because the players, the fans, and the coaches all understand about that respect. Deaner (Cardinal Nation Globe): So, being "The Best Fans in Baseball"...? Mike (Mike on the Cards): I think this is a great topic. I think I hold a higher standard ...

Improving the Busch Stadium game experience
Fungoes — ... and the Hardee’s sign, but would like some other options besides Paddy O’s, Hrabosky’s, and Shannon’s for my pre-gaming. And, slightly off topic, but I worry about the Cardinals losing a couple of their traditions when InBev is completely in the driver’s seat. Maybe I have nothing to worry about, but it just wouldn’t be Cardinal baseball without the Clydesdales trotting around to "Here Comes the King." – Mike West, Mike on the Cards I have yet to get to a game at the new Busch. I got my foot inside the ...

The UCB Roundtable on Albert Pujols: El Hombre, El Extension?
Pitchers Hit Eighth :: A St. Louis Cardinals blog — ... would never ask for a raise, he always wanted, “same as last year.” Honus, like Albert, was a good, honorable man. FYI - That’s why Honus Wagner’s baseball card is so rare and valueable. The card was given out with tobacco products and Wagner didn’t want his name/picture associated with that because he knew that kids looked up to him, so he asked for them to be destroyed. I could see Albert doing something similar. Mike West - Mike on the Cards Albert is one of those rarest of ...

The Final Question
C70 At The Bat — ... Mike On The Cards: Tough question, but I think I'll have to agree with thought about good, young pitching.  There are several arms that come to mind, but Price or Lincecum get my vote.  Also, just my opinion, but Hanley Ramirez would be lucky to crack my top ten. ...

The Second Annual Cardinal Blogger Awards Ballot
C70 At The Bat — You only thought the voting was over.   Whether you were on the left or the right in the presidential election, hopefully you got out to your local polling place and cast your ballot.  As important as that was, there is something that makes your vote count even more—the second annual Cardinal Blogger Awards. Last year’s CBA was actually the first project for the United Cardinal Bloggers and was a reasonable success for an initial outing.  This year, however, I hope to at least double the number of ballots submitted so as to get even ...
