A milestone, and a new writer at BBV

by Ed Valentine on Apr 27, 2009 3:57 PM EDT in News Comment 17 comments

Maybe I am the only one who cares about these things, but we hit another milestone here at Big Blue View today. We passed 100,000 unique visitors for April alone -- the first time we have ever done that since we launched in February of 2007.

The bigger news of the day, though, (and yes, I buried the lead) is that we have added a new writer to our panel of experts here at BBV. Chris Mulrain, known to you as 'cjmulrain,' a faithful member of our community, has agreed to come on board as a front-page contributor. He will start posting his own Giants' insights in the next couple of days.

We aren't sure exactly what 'cj' will be writing. I think, though, that his duties will have to involve picking up my dry cleaning, getting my shoes shined and managing my media calendar -- you know, all the stuff that Todd McShay does for Mel Kiper! Somebody around here has to do those things. Now that he has his own site, 'jrs' refuses.

Anyway, I have enjoyed 'cj's comments and FanPosts for a while now. I'm sure he will help this place continue to grow. Make sure to welcome him aboard!

Mets fans? Haha

But lately it has been frustrating. Damn Oliver Perez. I knew it would happen, I just knew it.

now that me and Jrs

are front page contributors, technically Mets fans outnumber Yankees fans here. Maybe we’ll stage a coup haha.

Umm ... well ...

Maybe I need to re-consider my staffing selections.

Congrats to CJ! I’ll try to refrain from saying, “Now go get your shine box!” in the future, no matter what.

hah no worries

once I’m done with finals in 2 weeks I’ll probably have enough time on my hands to run every blog on SBN, unless the job market decides to rebound in the next few weeks.

Congrats

to both the website and the new writer. It’s nice to watch this website grow into its own as a respectable place to read up-to-date news and consider the mostly well-informed opinions. Keep up the good work guys.

Congratulations CJ !!!!

I actually just logged on see if CJ had posted a reply to one of my comments
and here I found this news!!! Congrats again!!!

There was no reply from CJ, so I’m figuring he must hard at work on his first article about how we should better utilize David Tyree. I’m tellin ya, the guy’s PURE Genius :-)

Thanks for the kind words guys

Like I’ve told Ed, I’m really excited to get to contribute to the best Giants blog on the interwebs and chalk it up to pure luck that he asked me to help, considering the great analysis from just about everyone who comments here. I’ve already gotten my first “column” (post?) idea approved by Ed and should have it posted Wednesday. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it

Yeah, but ...

pick up my dry cleaning first!

Congrats CJ

Another writer leads to more Giant info, cool. More the merrier!!! I can’t remember how i came across this site, but it’s the best and i cannot envision any other site being better. Thus, over 100,000 hits in one month says it all.

Unlike some sites, you post something and you might have to wait for day’s for a response. This site has an atmosphere of life, it breathes. The commraderie(sp?) is serious to sarcastic at the same time getting the message across without the bickering.

I actually can’t wait to check in every morning to see another story pertaining to the Giants!
