After the 2010 season, the United Cardinal Bloggers got together and worked on their first real collaborative document.  Ten of the different members have put together this look back at 2010 from a myriad of different angles.

Probably the best way to interest you in this is just to list off who participated:

Josh Gilliam, Pitchers Hit Eighth
Justin Husley, i70 Baseball
Bill Ivie, i70 Baseball
Tom Knuppel, CardinalsGM
Erika Lynn, Cardinal Diamond Diaries
Tim McCullough, Future Redbirds
Matt “Pip” Philip, Fungoes
Daniel Shoptaw, C70 At The Bat
Steve Sommer, Play A Hard 9
Angela Weinhold, Cardinal Diamond Diaries

As you can see, that’s a load of Cardinal goodness right there.  Along with these articles, we have player capsules, with stats of what they did last year and their projected roles for 2011.

So click on the link below and either save it for reading later or get cozy and read through all 46 pages at one shot.  Either way, you’ll enjoy!

The Year In Cardinal Baseball

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.)
