One of the things the United Cardinal Bloggers are known for is their roundtables.  A question gets passed around via e-mail, everyone weighs in, and then the transcript gets posted on the questioner’s blog the next day.

The preseason roundtable always seems to be the biggest, and this year is no exception.  Seventeen of the UCB members–including our newest, Intangiball–(late edit: Fredbird Follys got into the game, so it’s 18!) will be discussing the Cardinals and the game of baseball for the next few weeks.  Links to the transcripts will be added here when they go up, but plan your internet browsing around these sites in the coming days!  (Date is the day the question is posed, so check a day or so after for the transcript.)

by Eugene Tierney February 18, 2010

With pitchers and catchers showing up today, my excitement for the upcoming season has increased.  Here are the things to really watch for this spring:
I’m looking forward to the third base battle.  I think Freese really didn’t do himself any favors with that DWI; as a result, he’s going to have to work for the [...]

by SMS_Mike January 24, 2010

Albert seems fine with Mark McGwire, saying that the big redhead will have to answer to [...]
