		<description>Couldn’t find an e-mail address, so I apologize for leaving this here. Please let me know if you are interested, as I’ve not been able to lock down any Arizona blogs yet.

Hi! I run the St. Louis Cardinals blog C70 At The Bat and I’m trying to organize something I’m terming the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. I’d like to see if you were interested.

What I have in mind for the BBA is first and foremost, to create a pool of contacts across baseball. So if the Tigers have an upcoming series against the Twins, for example, you can easily contact a Twins blogger to exchange insights, ask questions, etc. Some of our members do radio shows at Blog Talk Radio, so having contacts for a blogger for an team they are playing in an upcoming series could be helpful in that regard.

The other thing I want to do is an occasional project together. For example, I’m hoping to get two blogs per team by October, so that we can do our own MVP or Cy Young voting and compare our results to the baseball writers. I also think this winter would be a good opportunity to do something like an All-Decade team, since we’ll be through the aughts.

I don’t plan on many projects–it may be just the voting on a yearly basis. I know everyone is busy with their own writing, etc. Please let me know whether or not you are interested and, if possible, another blog that might be interested as well. Thanks for your time!</description>
