The winner is …
Uncle Ellsworth!
This comment at 3:05 p.m. — I’d like to take this time to Nominate Erica for rookie of the year. Who will second? — was No. 1,000,000.
Send me your address, you win.
Because Erica was mentioned, she will get a fabulous second prize.
Thanks to everybody for playing, that was fun. Now calm down!
UPDATE, 3:18 p.m.: Oh, wait a second. An enraged Kanye West just busted into the press box and said that Beyonce actually won. Security is wrestling him away. Kelly Clarkson is furious.
But Uncle Ellsworth will get the prize, I promise you.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncle E is my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sheesh. thats sad, but typical of this blog.
Holy Hat!
Thanks Pete!
Careful, Uncle… I see Kanye West heading your way to steal your moment!
I missed it by 7

Wow Erica you managed to turn this into a consolation prize? Kudos, all your meaningless posts added up to something. The big existential question has finally been answered: if you post enough on the Internet, you will win things
Thank you Pete!!!! And Uncle E
Time for a Bronx cheer.
speech speech.
Uncle Ellsworth step to the podium.
The post was meaningless, I’m filing a junction.
So close, yet so far.
Let’s focus on tonight’s big game now.
congrats, guys!!
Congratulations to Uncle Ellsworth but ANSKY should have won because the Bob Watson comment was the best obscure reference of all time!!!!!

I feel like my life suddenly has meaning! LOL
Remember, we figured out the meaning of blog life earlier- If it makes you happy, it is meaningful
Congratulations to the happy winners!
If we throw out Uncle E’s meaningless post, and Erica’s even more meaningless post right after his, I have the next post which was full of meaning.
Thus, I am the defacto winner.
*sticks right pinky near left corner of mouth*
1 Million Posts!!!!!!!
mwahahahahaha!!!!
Sorry … the schizophrenia got a little outta control there.
Typical Kanye…
THIS IS A RIP OFF – BEYONCE SHOULD OF WON!!!
AHHH missed by 2!!!!!!!!! Drat!
But congratulations to Uncle, he posts a lot more than i do!
Pete did that thread not set a blog record for most comments per minute?
I DEMAND a Recount!
I’m filing a junction.
You mean filing for an injunction. Unless you actually meant filing a junction, which could make you a traffic engineer or maybe an electrician.
I thought previous winners of recent blog contests were ineligible. Talk about the fix being in — again!
The comment numbers that appears when you hover your mouse over the date are not in sequential order. I tried to figure out who won by using that. Alas, it didn’t work. I am glad that two of our regulars won the prize.
THIS IS A BIGGER SHOCK THAN THE BUCKY DENT GAME!
I want Uncle E to pick out my Lotto numbers this week.

Speech? Be careful what you ask for. If Dave had won we’d have gotten a REAL speech.
J/K … I liked what Dave had to say.
Uncle Ellsworth has always been my favorite Architect. ’bout time he got some credit. Roark be damned.
First Jeter reaches a milestone… now Uncle Ellsworth…
It’s a great time in Yankee Universe!
The French judge made a deal with the Russians to give the millionth prize to Uncle E and Erica. The Canadians were robbed again.
You mean filing for an injunction. Unless you actually meant filing a junction, which could make you a traffic engineer or maybe an electrician.
–
I meant junction in the sense of joining many people together, as a kind of celebration of the winner. The motion was denied, there will be no party. See what you did?
I demand a recount!
Leave it to Erica to find a way to horn in.
Jim Pir-One took a dive so Uncle Ellsworth could win. It’s the infamous ESPN-Peter-Uncle Ellsworth bias.
I’m filing a Conjunction Junction, What’s Your Function?
Fair warning.
RED FLAG!!!
I INVOKE THE INSTANT REPLAY RULE!
I heard the 2nd place prize is pretty cool too.
Erica gets to submit the awesome home run call to John Sterling for Fast Freddy Guzman.
i want a prize
Congrats Uncle E.
Great job Pete!
Uncle Ellsworth is lucky to win. But Pete you’re the one that deserves the congrats here. 1,000,000 comments is a big deal. Thats quite a community you’ve built here. You’ve changed the way I follow the yankees…for the better.
I don’t even understand the Kanye/Beyonce comments but am piecing it together.
Thanks to all those Congrats.
This place is pretty awesome!
Number 27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Boss Tweed said, “it’s not who casts the comments who counts, it’s who counts the comments that matters”
I’m happy with the outcome.
Uncle Ellsworth is certainly worthy of the accolades.
Just try and remember the little people.
But Uncle Ellsworth isn’t a real Yankee
Uncle Ellsowrth – Here’s what happened with Kanye West:

It’s a talent. What can I say?
Uncle Ellsworth should demand a “happy ending”
Peter = Katherine Harris
Great contest Pete, you should have one at 1,500,000 comments and try to involve some kind of postseason draw to get traffic to the site for the playoffs. Look at all the buzz you just stirred up! I was 2 comments off in either direction!! I got my eyes on the 1.5 millionth comment now anyway
Tunnel Man —- one of the funniest comments of all time!
ANSKY thanks
That was not nice of him.
The whole stuff was rigged. Geez cmon Pete Abe.
Nice work Uncle E!
Uncle Ellsworth –
If it’s what he was trying to accomplish, I doubt he’ll be getting any from Beyonce any time soon.
Yep. Real un-nice of him.
Smythe- Howard Roark is a great architect who is way ahead of his time!!!!!
Peter- thanks for your blog… It’s great- informative, and lots of fun!
Uncle Ellsworth- congrats on winning. Happy to see a frequent contributor got the prize.
Erica- congrats on the special 2nd place award.
BUT– I was just in the video room behind the dugout, and I reviewed the comment count, I demand a recount!! I think that pitch was definitely outside!!
…. starts shouting at Pete from the dugout….
((LOL.. I hope folks know I am just joking about the lousy situation that got ARod thrown out of the game…))
The blog HOF called – they are asking for Uncle E’s mouse pad and keyboard.
Congrats to Uncle E
Hey Pete – what’s gonna be the prize for 2,000,000?
OMG!
Congrats Uncle E!
Since determining the “winner” to this contest is definitely dependant on the umpiring of the event, I encourage everyone to read my long and “insightful” (:-)) comment regarding umpires and umpiring, and professional management in that area.
Perhaps my suggestion can be applied to the next comment-count contest on the blog.
I hope people will “go back there” and read my comment and post their thoughts on the matter.
The comment is under “Today in The Journal News” at 1:23pm.
Thanks.
“Mr. West, do you like fishsticks?”
Kanye: “Yes, I love them”
“You love putting fishsticks in your mouth?”
Kanye: “Every chance I get”
“What you are, a gay fish”
Sorry, just couldnt resist
Congratulations, Uncle E (and Erica)!
Congrats, Uncle E and Erica!
Now, onto 2,000,000 comments.
booooooooooooooo booooooooooooooooo
i don’t comment as much as i used to, but i’m glad one of my favorites won!
congrats Uncle E!
Pete, i think you need to start a 2nd contest
100,000th comment to get caught in the filter
winner gets banned
Question:
Does the 1,000,000 count include all the posts delete by The Gestapo?
Congrats!
Good question, peteumoron.
