About C70

When I started blogging in 2007, this is how I described the blog:

I'm a long-time Cardinal fan who spends most of my Internet time at CardsClubhouse.com, where I'm the co-administrator and YNOT guru. I'm married with two kids and work as a CPA here in Arkansas. Grew up loving Ozzie, rooted for McGwire and now awed by Pujols.

From my first post on what you'll find here:

This is not going to be a high-quality Cardinals blog like vivaelbirdos, with stats and interesting new ways of looking at things. I'm not going to cover the minors the way that Future Redbirds does. There are a lot of great Cardinal blogs out there, each of them with their own style. What you'll get here is the general thoughts of a guy who doesn't watch every pitch, but tries to watch some of every game while juggling the home life. A guy who spends time talking Cardinals at CardsClubhouse and reading about them other places. You'll probably get ideas I've seen other places, but I'll try to identify those that aren't mine, at least.

It's just a regular joe blog. I root for the Cardinals and typically give them and management the benefit of the doubt. I'll criticize when necessary, but I'm not big on general bashing. So let's give it a shot, see what happens.

Also, love getting comments. Want to tell me I have no clue? I don't mind, if you can back it up. Like what you read? Mention that as well. Feedback is always a nice thing.

Now, years down the road, it pretty much holds up.  People seem to enjoy the writing and the thoughts here, which I appreciate.  It's not breaking any ground or going to be something that gets passed around the internet, but it is what I think.

Of course, in the time since I first put pixel to screen, things have grown quite a bit.  We have the United Cardinal Bloggers and the Baseball Bloggers Alliance, both of which I'm proud to be a part of.  The blog's got a Facebook page and you can follow me on Twitter.  If that's not enough (and it really should be more than plenty), I'm involved with two podcasts, the UCB Radio Hour over at Ivie League Productions and Gateway to Baseball Heaven on the Seamheads National Podcasting Network.  I've also got my own podcast, which you can find under the "Conversations With C70" tab.

What it continues to come down to, though, is a deep love for baseball and the team that puts on the red in St. Louis.  Some things never do change.

Want to contact me?  You can by e-mailing me at cardinal70 AT gmail DOT com.  Welcome all kinds of feedback, save the nasty expletive-laden kind.
