Now Accepting Nominations for the 2nd Annual “Best Cubs Website Awards” Presented by Cubscast
UPDATE 2/20: Nominations are now closed. Tune in to our Monday episode (and check out the website) as we’re excited to reveal this year’s winners!
As mentioned in today’s episode, awards season is upon us and we at Cubscast would like to honor those that have operated the best Cubs-related websites in 2008. The aptly named “Best Cubs Website Awards” (or “The Strodes” for short) will be broadcast in a special episode on Monday February 23.
We need to know what you consider to be the best Cubs websites — and we’re taking nominations in each of the following categories:
Best Cubs Blog – Individual Author
Best Cubs Blog – Multiple Author
Best Cubs Site – Overall – Non-Blog
Best Cubs Player Site
Best Former Cubs Player Site
Best Cubs Humor Site
Best Worst Cubs Rival Fan Site
Best Original Cubs-Related YouTube Video
Excellence in Diction – Best Original Cubs-Related Word, Phrase, or Nickname
Cubs Personality Lifetime Achievement Award
The sort-of-fine print:
Our goal in doing this is to draw attention to the best Cubs websites currently available. Cubscast is not eligible for any awards, please do not nominate this site. All other nominations will be considered by the Cubscast hosts, unless at our discretion a nominated website is deemed inappropriate, ineligible (does not fit into the category it was nominated for), or deemed to contain or promote illegal or pornographic content. Anyone is eligible to nominate a site. All decisions regarding nominations and awards are final.
To participate, simply nominate your favorite Cubs website(s) today in the comments on this post. Comments will be closed at the end of the day on Friday February 20.
Award winners will be decided upon by the three Cubscast hosts and winners will be announced on Monday February 23, 2008. Good luck!

I like that site because it has a Clark and Addison webcam on all year round. For someone who lives 1000 miles away from the part it’s pretty cool. I also like to check gameday weather conditions

The Jeff Samardzija site makes him look like a cross between Jason Bourne and Andy Samburg! I love that guy.

Best Cubs Blog – Multiple Author has to be In a League of Her Own

While self-nominations are terrible, we do think that TLFC would clean up in the category of “Most References to Ab Work by Cubs Player on Cubs Blog”.
