2004 Koufax Awards -- nominations are now open

Site updates

Just heard that the Koufax Awards (named for one of the great lefties in baseball history), honoring the best of the left-oriented blogs are now open for nominations.

Categories include (among others) Best Blog, Best Writing, Best Post, Most Humorous Blog, Most Deserving of Wider Recognition, Best Series, Best New Blog, and (as long as self-promotion is the order of the day) Best Commenter.

Hey -- I see somebody already nominated this for Best Post. Awww. I love praise!

Just saying.

ps -- There's a lot of fertile ground for nominations in the Critical Linkage section to your lower right. I'm nominating A Tiny Revolution as Most Deserving of Wider Recognition myself...
