…and thus, I will be last.
The voting closes today for the 2006 Weblog Awards… I’m currently in fifth place. I’d sort of like to move up, but not really. Nothing short of a gifted hacker (and I’m willing to listen to your ideas) could get me in the vicinity of Kissing Suzy Kolber or Deadspin. Baseball Musings has a pretty solid lead on me, too. I don’t really know anything about that blog, but if the owner wants to fight me, we can get at it. The only blog I could conceivably catch is TrueHoop, and I’m in no hurry to do so. TrueHoop’s a fine and invaluable site and should probably finish ahead of me.
But if you voted for me anyway, I do appreciate it. I mean that.

Your blog is in my favorites at home and work. I discovered Deadspin because you referenced it.
The combo of wit, sports knowledge and humor is why I keep coming back. So, even if you do not win, this is the sports blog for me. Keep up the good work.

I would have voted for you if you didn’t call me a pussy.

If Rasheed Wallace didn’t have to give his up, I don’t have to give mine up. Besides, you have 7 writers over there. Divide your votes by 7, and each of you got 384 votes. I got 474. BITCH.

Just checked the voting. Finished, but results not yet official. You surpassed True Hoops to be #4!
Congrats mjd.

nice work. huge honor to get that high. to be honest you have a much better and personal approach than the top three anyways. they seem a little out of touch with their readers.
