Hello, World!

So if you're reading this, there's a chance you may have just hopped over from Pete Abraham's site, so if you're new I'd like to say 'welcome' and 'Let's Go Yankees!'

Feel free to click around; there hasn't been a ton of Yankee stuff of late, so if you're looking for Yankees-specific entries, use the sidebar to navigate.


If you've got your own blog and want a link, or if you just want to say hello, feel free to drop me a line at rebecca@puristbleedspinstripes.com



Only seventeen days, not counting the 28th (today) to go 'till Spring Training.



A bonus nugget for the regular readers: In March, I'm going to attempt a preview-a-day season preview, starting on 1 March with the Angels, and going in alphabetical order, so that the last one, on 30 March, the day before the season starts is the New York Yankees.

I promise, I'll try not to let school get in the way too much...

10,000 Views

--We interrupt the broadcast to bring you the following announcement--

TPBP has now reached 10.000 views, including 5,000 within the last month.


As a celebration of this accomplishment, and because I have some of the most amazing blog readers in the world, I am now going to go make tea.

--You are now returned to your regularly scheduled programming--

A (Friday) Night at the Movies

Okay, so my camera battery kept dying as I was trying to do this...I know I say 'uh' and 'umm' way too much.

It's kind of long, but stick through it to the end...





...Yes, I do know that I need a hair cut. Play nice.

5000 Views

If you look over at the StatCounter, we've passed 5000 views. Given that the StatCounter is about three weeks younger than the blog itself, we actually passed that number some time ago.


WHOO!


Anyway, have to go off and meet with my thesis adviser; Wednesday Round Ups coming later this afternoon.

Well, That's One Way to Celebrate!

Today is the one month anniversary of this blog. I know, in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal, but for me it's a bit of an achievement. As I said in one of the first few posts (I don't remember which), if I can keep something going for a month, it's a success by my (rather low) standards.

I can't believe it's been a month, and at the same time I can't believe it's been only a month. It's been a great experience, for sure, and it's been amazing watching the number grow on the StatCounter or putting 'purist bleeds pinstripes' into Google to see what the results are. It's been a lot of fun so far, and now it's only going to get better.

Sure, the Yankees don't play today, but it doesn't make any of the other games going on any less important. They all matter now.

Who wants it more? Lucky Philadelphia or burning hot Colorado? Young Arizona or defiant Chicago? The devilish Angels or the best-record-in-baseball Boston?

Get your work done early, grab some chips and a soda, and plop down on the couch in front of you.

We're about to find out.

1000 Views

Hey everyone--

I just took a quick glance at my profile and noticed this blog has passed 1000 views!

Now, I know I haven't clicked on my name 1000 times, so this is really, really amazing, especially since today is the one-week anniversary of blog founding!

I've got to go get ready for class now; I'll be back later with some more interesting things to say (I hope), but I just thought that was pretty cool!
