Historic Blogging Project Planned for this Weekend

RockintheRed · 04-30-2008, 08:47 PM

The United Cardinal Bloggers would like to announce their latest blogging project, a type of game blog that may never have been done before.

Each blogger will be responsible for one inning of this Saturday's St. Louis Cardinals/Chicago Cubs matchup. The blogger will not only describe the action, but use that as a jumping off point for other related tangents. Each blogger will link to the one before and after to form a circular chain that will encompass nine innings of baseball.

This progressive dinner version of game blogging will span numerous platforms, writing styles and locations (including one from Ireland!) and can be seen as an anthology of Cardinal blogging thought. A pre-game post will set the stage and then the action moves through the other blogs, wrapping up back at the beginning for a post-game thought. (Note that these will not be live postings, but should be up Saturday evening or early Sunday.)

See the game through various perspectives. Get a taste of Cardinal Nation!

The United Cardinal Bloggers would also like to encourage other bloggers or media members to highlight this project when they can.

The list of the blogs participating is as follows:

Pre-game/Post-game (and extra innings if necessary): C70 At The Bat
First inning: Stan Musial's Stance
Second inning: The Cardinal Virtue
Third inning: Mike on the Cards
Fourth inning: CardinalsGM
Fifth inning: CardinalNationGlobe
Sixth inning: Rockin' the Red
Seventh inning: Fungoes
Eighth inning: The Redbird Blog
Ninth inning: Redbird Rambings

More information can be found at C70 at the Bat's post. Thanks to C70 for organizing this unique blogging project!
