About the UCB
The United Cardinal Bloggers is a group of writers that have come together in a network to complete writing projects about the St Louis Cardinals. UCB has also developed a weekly radio show/podcast called the UCB Radio Hour.
Below are some of the bloggers who make up the UCB. Please visit their sites for some quality discussions about the Cardinals.
**Daniel, the blogger behind C70 At The Bat and the originator of the United Cardinal Bloggers, has been following the Cardinals since Ozzie patrolled short. He’s not that original, but does love talking Cardinals and watching the season unfold and seeing just how Pujols will amaze him again.
**Erika at Cardinal Diamond Diaries wears her heart on her sleeve and absolutely adores her Cardinals. She’s a long-distance fan, lives in Oklahoma and gets her Cardinals fix on FSMW. A huge babybirds supporter (loves her Memphis Redbirds just as much as the big boys), a forever Brendan Ryan fan, and often accused of being overly cheery about the state of Cardinal Nation, Erika openly admits she does not have the pedigree to spout statistics, but she’s ready to talk Cardinal baseball… anytime, anywhere! Oh, and her Hubby bears an uncanny resemblance to #7. ;)
**Tom of CardinalsGM is a lifelong fan of the Cardinals. He remembers going to games in the late 50′s/early 60′s with his grandpa and brothers. He got to see Stan the Man’s last game and still has the ticket stub. He watches every night and has been a fan through the good and lean years. His new passion as he gets close to retirement is to write and chat on a full-time basis.
**CardsDiaspora covers Cardinal baseball sometimes and absurdity all
the time. A full staff of writers means you can’t hate all of them, right? Check out The CD regularly as they dig through the dumpster of life. And baseball.
**Matt Philip (a.k.a. Pip) has been blogging since 2004 at Fungoes.net, which focuses on “Cardinals’ news from a Sabermetric point of view.” Pip is a member of the Bob Broeg (St. Louis) Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and in his spare time works as a datacaster for MLB.com at Busch Stadium. He believes Keith Hernandez was the greatest-fielding first baseman of all-time and that the second-best was his mustache.
**Mary writes MLBVoice.com and is talkin’ baseball! She resides in Edwardsville, Illinois, which is not too far from Busch Stadium. She’s the mother of two and a University of Illinois grad with Bachelor’s Degree in Communication. She concentrates on Cardinals baseball, but will talk other baseball too. She likes to keep her website on the fun side of sports.
**Nick of Redbird Rants is originally from St. Louis, and though he now lives in Jackson, Mississippi, he continues to live his life as a diehard Cardinal fan. Nick is currently working on his MBA at Belhaven University with aspirations of going to law school for his JD and become an attorney. He currently works for a major law firm in Mississippi and tries his very best to keep up with his lifelong passion, the St. Louis Cardinals.
**Mike is the one to blame for The Redbirds Report, and supplies the occasional article about the St. Louis Cardinals for BleacherReport.com. He grew up in southern Illinois and has been following the Cardinals since the days of Ted Sizemore, Dal Maxville, and Joe Torre. Mike lives in Tucson, Arizona, and gives thanks for MLB.tv and the MLB At Bat app daily.
**Mark writes and researches the Retrosimba blog. A lifelong Cardinals fan, he has a passion for baseball history. He finds blogging a great way to connect with other Cardinals fans and share all those goofy, little historical nuggets he thought only he cared about.
**Mike pontificates about the Cardinals at Stan Musial’s Stance. He blogs as time, work, kids, and other requirements allow. A Cardinal fan since his dad took him to his first game in 1977 (at Dodger Stadium, which the Cardinals lost 11-0)
**JE writes STL: Fear The Red like a traveler heading to an unfamiliar destination without a map: he takes many wrong turns, often has to back track, and usually ends up in places he has no business being. But, like an unmapped traveler, he usually makes it to his destination. He generally creates a passably readable St. Louis Cardinals blog.
**Scott is a reporter at the Belleville News-Democrat where his “real job” is covering local government, business, education and off the field stories about the Cardinals since 1998. His passion is View From the Cheap Seats, which he has penned since January 2007. A lifelong Cardinals fan, he eschews the scientific method of baseball watching for in favor of a hot dog in one hand and a scorecard in the other perspective of a bleacher creature.

I’ve done my begging on my July 14th 2010 post. So all I ask is that you keep an eye on my site. I’ve been hell out of the gates, but how will I do on stamina? Only Time will only tell.

My website is one that I is about our STL Cardinals and other baseball. I’ve been blogging for about three years and just learned about this group of writers while listening to the KMOX pregame show 4/5/11. I would love you learn more about the UCB and get to know you. Please email me and pass what I have to do to join your group of writers. Thank so much! Mary Clausen
