2007 Strode Award Winners
As announced on Monday’s episode, Cubscast is proud to announce the winners of our inaugural Best Cubs Website Awards, or as we affectionately are calling them, “The Strodes.” It was a tight race in several of the categories, and after several rounds of debating amongst the Cubscast hosts, a consensus was reached that we could live with.
If you’re just finding out about these awards for the first time, see our original post to find out how the nominations were accepted and the reasoning behind us doing this. In short, we simply wanted to spotlight some of the best Cubs websites on the internet for the benefit of our listeners and the community in general.
Here are your 2007 Strode Award Winners:
Best Cubs Blog – Individual Author - Bleed Cubbie Blue
Best Cubs Blog – Multiple Author - In a League of Her Own
Best Cubs Site - Overall - Non-Blog - The Heckler
Best Cubs Rumor Site - MLBTradeRumors
Best Cubs Player Site - Jeff Samardzija
Best Cubs Humor Site - Desipio
Best Cubs Merchandise/Memorabilia/Clothing Site - Just One Bad Century
Excellence in Diction – Best Original Cubs-Related Word or Phrase - Cubbery / Chad on TCR
Lifetime Achievement Award - Carrie Muskat of Cubs.com
We want to again thank everyone who nominated a site, and of course to all the people that produce the excellent Cubs websites that were nominated. Next year we’ll be adding a few new categories based on feedback we’ve received. If your site wasn’t nominated and should have been, or if your site didn’t win and should have won, there’s always next year, friend.

I haven’t listened to the latest Cubscast so I hope the Muskat award was a joke.
Good work guys.

It’s open to interpretation…let’s put it that way. If you let your soul guide you, as Sting recommends, you’ll find the answer to your question.

You should take the award for “Best Cubs Humor Site - Desipio” back. He was a total $&% on his website (http://www.desipio.com/?p=1414).
Other than that, I think the awards were all well deserved and all around great!

As far as I can tell, nothing about winning a Strode was ever mentioned on bleedcubbieblue.com. Did you guys even tell Al that his site won the award?
