UPDATE: It's been about 24 hours since I posted this diary. We've done a hell of a job showing the strength and persistence (and charming obsessiveness) of AN. We currently lead by nearly as large a margin as we were trailing by yesterday. 24 hours also means most of you can now vote again. Get to it!

Alright, folks. Time to stop reloading ESPN's MLB page looking for trade news and time to start heading over to The Weblog Awards to vote for Athletics Nation for Best Sports Blog.

You can vote once per day through December 15th. Get to work!

The contenders are:
Baseball Crank
23 Yards
The Phog Blog
Independent Thinking
Dead Spin
FanBlogs
He Is Man Pundit
The Hater Nation
Red Leg Nation
Burnt Orange Nation
Fast Machines
College Football Resource
The Black Hole
Blue Gray Sky

There are some excellent blogs on that list, but we all know who should take the cake.

Make Blez, Nico and all of us Blog MVPs. Vote!

Great work AN! It took us just over 6 hours to go from nearly worst to first! But remember, voting continues through the 15th, so vote once per day (per computer). Let's make this the blowout it should be. Thanks to everyone who recommended this diary and voted so far. Blez is right, this is "the best damn community on the internet."
