Gammons Digs Blogs
Yesterday was a thrill for me - the man himself, Peter Gammons, mentioned MLBTR in his blog. He mentioned MLBTradeRumors.com under "sites that I never miss" and added "I do not want any psychologist to know how many times a day I go to ESPN.com, Baseball Musings or MLBTradeRumors.com to check updates." It's a huge honor that the king of baseball hot stove frequents this blog. Thanks Peter.

I saw Gammon's MLBTR mention yesterday. Even as a longtime visitor of your site, I was thrilled. I can't imagine how you felt.
Congrats Tim. Watch those hit numbers skyrocket.

Someone should teach Gammons how to use RSS.
Congrats, Tim.

Congrats! Just to let you know about your global exposure: I'm living in the Netherlands and I'm a daily visitor of your site!

Sweet. We had 123 visits from the Netherlands yesterday, 8th among countries. Spread the word and you could overtake Mexico, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, and Japan though.

Actually Tim, I'm not sure if you ever caught it but member DropTop mentioned this back on the 14th. It seems Gammons has removed that blog entry and replaced it with this new updated one where his mentioning of the site isnt even as cool this time around. Here is what he had to say last week:
"On a Caribbean beach, it is wonderful not to read or listen to lawyer-speak and lawyer-leak. There are drawbacks, such as no Morning Joe or MLBTradeRumors.com on my BlackBerry, but until we know why there is any reason that Brian McNamee would possibly lie or why Roger Clemens would risk it all by testifying under oath and risk jail time, we need to do a little power-yoga breathing and relax."
Here is where DropTop referenced it that day:

…and I must say ~ kind of surprised you had missed that! What kind of rumor guy are you to miss your own site being mentioned on a Gammons blog? Hehehe… :p

So thats 2 straight blog entries you were mentioned in ~ you go Tim!

This is my first time commenting but I have to say that I am in the same boat as Gammons. I check this site minimum 3 times a day
Posted by: macca08 | January 22, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Guess you got my message. Well done.

No Boston DirtDogs? I'm surprised, Peter, I thought you loved that one. Great Boston site, even though I'm a Yankee fan I love going to it.
Posted by: Alex Grady | January 22, 2008 at 02:25 PM
Knowing that Gammons visits this site regularly makes me feel better about the amount of time I spend on this site throughout the day.
Great site Tim. I love it.
Posted by: adartse | January 22, 2008 at 02:42 PM
Hmm, I don't see Mets Geek or Blastings! Thrilledge anywhere on that list...
Also, what is this about checking the site? Feeds, gentlemen. Feeds.
It would be funny if PJ had FJM as one of his favorites.

Nice work Tim!
Perhaps you could seize the opportunity to contact Gammons for an interview or Q&A for MLBTR.
Congrats and keep doing what made you great!

No mccoveychronicles.com? Greatest SF Giants site out there. Great site Tim. I check it like my life depends on it.

It is fitting that he includes your blog. I just wish he had included Capitol Punishment among those he reads. CP is the top general Nats blog going right now.
