Athletics Nation Gets Its Millionth Comment
by Tyler Bleszinski on Sep 18, 2008 11:12 PM PDT
131 comments
Yes, I know it isn't like it's 100 billion comments...
But early today at approximately 1:21 p.m., whiteshoes40 made the one millionth comment on Athletics Nation. Congrats on being that special shopper, whiteshoes40.
Yes, Athletics Nation started on November 6, 2003 and in less than five years, enough A's fans have felt compelled enough to chime in one million times, in diaries and FanPosts and gamethreads and interviews and DLDs. It's probably technically over a million if you include the original typepad version of the blog and the initial scoop version. But this includes at least the last three years.
I'm extremely proud to have started all of SportsBlogs Nation with this blog. The Oakland Athletics were the epicenter of it all. And that's how it should be, not that I'm biased at all. Heh.
I want to say thank you to all of you who make AN special - all the front pagers - Nico, baseballgirl, monkeyball, louismg, notsellingjeans, tajadib, grover, salb and devo. I also want to thank Billy Beane, Lewis Wolff and all of the A's organization for giving Athletics Nation some amazing interviews over the years. But most of all I want to thank every single A's fan who makes AN so unique and beautiful. Yes, this community is a beautiful and unique snowflake, contrary to what Tyler Durden says.
Thank you for supporting this community through everything and continuing to make this the best sports community on the Net.

ooh, so can I claim to be the 1 millionth and one?
- been watching this site ever since the Mulder&Hudson trades. Good job, Blez. It’s an awesome contribution to not just the [more nerdy] fanbase, but also the team in general. I’m sure Mrs. Duke and Mr. Ziegler have told the team about this!

Congrats to AN and to Blez!
This blog has been a part of my everyday activities ever since I discovered it 4 years ago. Some of you I have met at games and Fan Day and others I have had a good time in discussion with. This is definitely my favorite sports blog and a great source of information. Great backstage access and insightful interviews.
Again, congrats to everyone………Go A’s!!!!!!

How many are there with
Nico telling people “you’re”, not “your”.
(How many other grammatical blunders went unnoticed?)
How many of mine went unnoticed? (What? Huh? You’re still here?)
How many mention “goat”?
All these stat heads and I can’t this kind of info. For shame.
(OK, on one of my really bored days, I started to check the “record” of each front-pager- how many games the A’s won or lost on days their thread turn came up. I think I got to May 3. Then the phone rang. Then I got hungry).

Wow ... you are prolific ...
though you’re actually a bit under 1% … you were looking at your total SB Nation count, not your AN count …
In just over a year you’ve just about matched what some of us have taken 4 years to accumulate …
Speaking of which …
Monkeyball 25k
Jennifer 25k
salb918 16k
devo 11k
grover 11k
PaulThomas 10k
The 6 of us (and there are plenty of others in that range) account for over 10% of all of AN’s comments … wow …

PT, I think you’re right. You need a life… or drink more. Or have more sex.
Devo would suggest combining the last two.

Assuming everyone except PT has been posting for 4 years ....
and PT has been posting for 1 year … and rounding everyone except PT to their nearest multiple of 4k …
Those with ~25k are posting 6k times per year and have a 15k lead …
Those with ~`15k are posting 4k times per year and have a 5k lead
PT is posting 10k times per year …
at those rates it will take PT to overtake those in the first group and less than a year to pass those in the second group …

AN Suck-O-Meter
Comments containing the exact phrase:
Yankees suck 113 Loaiza sucks 13
Kendall sucks 90 Embree sucks 11
Crosby sucks 73 Rincon sucks 10
Angels suck 47 Dotel sucks 7
Kotsay sucks 31 Hannahan sucks 4
That’s just a random sample of ones I thought to look up. There could be some higher scores.

Crosby sucks
You gotta figure he’ll over take Kendall with his performance in his final year of his contract next year.

Then again,
Kendall sucks too.
So they might advance at a 1-to-1 ratio.

A couple I should have thought of earlier
(but still not challenging Kendall and Crosby)
Chavez sucks 58
Zito sucks 52
This is interesting:
Macha sucks 38
Geren sucks 3
And how on earth could I have forgotten:
Giants suck 91

*And* I get to watch the game from the dugout.
I’ll make sure to give Emil a slap upside the head, courtesy of AN.

Blez arranged for you to get 50% off in the store.
Just show ‘em your AN decoder ring. And I believe the A’s are also planning fireworks in your honor.

That is complete defecation of character
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
