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.)

On Saturday, May 23, the UCB will sponsor their second annual Progressive Game Blog as the Cardinals take on the Kansas City Royals.

Fashioned after a progressive dinner, each participating blog describes the action of one inning of Saturday’s game.  Since this is not a live blog, it gives the blogger an opportunity to elaborate on the action, bringing in statistical information, personal anecdotes or anything else to help the action come alive for the reader.  It’s like watching the same game through nine different eyes.

The participating blogs are as follows:

Pregame: United Cardinal Bloggers
First inning: Redbirds Row
Second inning: Bird Brained
Third inning: Baseball Digest
Fourth inning: Cards on Deck
Fifth inning: Redbird Chatter
Sixth inning: Whiteyball
Seventh inning: The Cardinal Virtue
Eighth inning: Fungoes
Ninth inning: Pitchers Hit Eighth
Extras and game wrapup: C70 At The Bat
