2011 Cardinal Blogger Awards

by Cardinal70 on November 9, 2011

While the October/November/December roundtable is still going on, another project also gets a little play.  Every November, the UCB votes on certain awards, both on the field and in the blogging arena.  This is the fifth straight year that the awards have been handed out, and this year there is a twist.

We’ve added a fan voting portion to the awards, so you the reader or Twitter follower can also get a say in the action.  The fan blogs will be compiled into one vote to go into the mix with all the other blog ballots.  You can vote for your selections on this form here.

If you want to read how the UCB members are voting, follow the links below.  As always, continue to check back as more ballots are added.

October Project: UCB Postseason Roundtable

by Cardinal70 on October 30, 2011

While the Cardinals continued their push to the World Series title (and you can read all our thoughts on that here), they also pushed our traditional roundtable back down the calendar a week at a time.  Now that the season is triumphantly over, it’s time to get down to it.

How the roundtable works is the blogger of the day poses a question to the rest of the group via email.  We spend the day batting it around, and the next day the blogger posts the transcript of our talk on their blog while the next person in line throws out another question.

You know that you are going to want to read them all.  As transcripts are posted, the links below will change to a direct jump to the answers and a * will be placed next to the blog name.  The days on the schedule are the days when they should be posted on the listed blog.  Lots of good baseball talk coming to heat up the winter!

September Project: 2011 Top 7 Prospects

by Cardinal70 on September 15, 2011

A number of years ago, Derrick Goold of the Post-Dispatch asked us to help him with a project he was doing, lining out the top 7 prospects of the Cardinals organization.  We liked the idea so much that we’ve put it into our regular rotation, doing this every September.

Check out all the various bloggers and their arguments, then come back later for the combined UCB list.

85% Sports
Aaron Miles’ Fastball
Birds On The Bat 82
C70 At The Bat
Cardinal Diamond Diaries
I70 Baseball
The McBrayer-Baseball Blog
On The Outside Corner
Pitchers Hit Eighth (Josh)
Pitchers Hit Eighth (Nick)
Redbird Dugout (Jon)
Redbird Dugout (Jerry)
RetroSimba

Below are the combined results, with a first place vote being worth seven points and working down the list until a seventh place vote is worth one point.
