Once again the United Cardinal Bloggers undertake a Roundtable project, a way to pass the time during Spring Training while waiting for Opening Day.

The boys were back at it again on UCB Radio Hour last night.  The first show since the Cardinals reported to Jupiter was sure not to disappoint. I was unfortunately unable to join the fray but you can listen in to the rest of the United Cardinal Bloggers, as always, via iTunes by clicking the [...]
