2009 Cardinal Blogger Awards Nominations

The rules are simple.  Each member blog will post their selections on November 20.  I will tally up the votes and post the results soon after.  For every vote, a write-in selection is allowed.  Members may split their vote in any category two ways, but no more than that.  If they want to recognize more than two players or people, a group (i.e., the bullpen, the bench) must be selected.

So, after the jump, the nominees for the 2009 Cardinal Blogger Awards, presented without any commentary or argument.
