Sometime today, one of you will be the 10,000,000th page view for McCovey Chronicles. Confetti will fall, bugles will sound, a guy with a bow-tie will hand you an oversized novelty check...it will be fantastic.
Note: Obviously, there will not be a check. In fact, the guy with the bow tie could probably use a couple of bucks for the bus ride home. "Fantastic" is, as always, a relative term. And, sure, this accomplishment would mean more to me if I knew that HowTheyScored wasn't responsible for 9,000,000 of the page views from his secret stalker's lair, but I'll take what I can get.
Ten million page views. Advertisers were willing to pay me about $.00005 for each one of those views, so you know we're doing something right here at McCovey Chronicles. Thanks for being a part of it.

First!
Oh, wait, that just makes me the 9,999,946th page view.
Suddenly, first doesn’t seem so cool.
Seriously, though, congrats, Grant.

On the other hand, I’m fairly relieved that picture wasn’t taken under blacklight.

I know, right! You can’t even see the shrine or the mini-bar in that picture, though, so you’re not getting the FULL effect.
When part three of my plan comes to fruition, though, then you’ll all see the shrine and the mini-bar! Ah-haha! Oh yes, you’ll see it alright….

Wow Grant...
$500 congrats man. The average page views per day puts you at earning $.50 a day. Too bad you can’t buy a candy bar for a nickel or gas for a quarter anymore.
Hijack, what’s Gas there? it’s at 3.89 here in Central Wisconsin. And the weird thing is, here all the stations are the same. They raise their prices all on the same day. You don’t have Arco which is .20 cheaper than Chevron.

$3.87
And that’s Arco.
Thank the Lord for BART and the tunnel you want us dead in, Walrus.

Tis $3.89 at the Arco near my house, and $3.87 at the really ghetto gas station on the other side of my house. Since I’m only doing driving lessons with the car and not really going long distances (yet) the gas crunch hasn’t caught up with me. Oh but it will once I get my license.

I paid 3.89 yesterday, and I drive 80 miles a day commuting from SF to SV.

You would think that with all the extra methane we’d be cheaper than all of you….
But ya…we’re paying anywhere from $3.90-4.10 over here.

Is the guy just wearing a bow tie? Nothing else? That right there is cause for celebration.
Still, a toast to Grant and his awesome blog, on which I’ve wasted many hours of my life. I can’t think of a better way to spend those wasted hours. Kampai.

Grant, you could’ve used some of that ad revenue to buy Magowan’s shares and be a major shareholder of the Giants.
You would only have another 100,000,000,000,000+ more views to go.

I would’ve thought jponry counted for more than a mere 0.8% of the traffic all by herself.

Somewhere on there I know there’s South Koreans. There has to be. I found a Giants website in Korean about a year ago and someone had posted something I wrote on SF Dugout on a message board there. In Korean, of course. What a trip, no?

That there’s both an ‘unknown’ and ‘misc’ explains a lot to me about MCC. A lot.
people hate you, but why do they hate you? because the are jealous!

I think “misc” was just “Misch” misspelled (mischspelled?). Pat loves the McChronicles.

Hey I don’t come here to be a productive member of society. I come here to talk, and listen, about baseball!
Of coarse the lights have to stay on some how. Good on you Grant for thinking of these tiny little details. Congrats.

Wow
Another “Why don’t we praise me today” post. See ya’ll, this is what happens when the Grant Appreciation Post comes out to too early in the season. He starts mailing in posts, takes shots at his loyal readers (howtheyscored), and make us read these “Kneel before Zod” columns designed only to boost his own confidence.
All kidding aside, great blog Grant. You do make the work day go by faster.
Also I got gas for $3.82 at Costco the other day in Concord.

There’s a guy in a bow tie wandering up and down my street – should I assume I’m about to win? I sure could use the oversize novelty check, to pay off my novelty bills.
