Oh Crap! I Did It Again! Happy Birthday, OTM!

PrintI swore I wouldn't do it again. But I did. And I am ashamed.
Last year, I apologized to the world for missing my kid's birthday. And when I say "kid," I mean this wonderful Red Sox blog you are all reading right now. Yes, even with the birthday printed easily on the right sidebar, I missed it again.
With that, here is a very belated "Happy birthday!" to us.
Over the Monster is five years and three days old today. It's been a long but extremely fun ride. It took a long time to really get this site pumping every day, but it's doing that, whether it's the offseason or we're covering trade deadline news.
Many thanks go out to the entire staff. I'd love to list them all one by one, but so many have come and gone and I don't want to forget anyone. Just scroll down the pages and into the archives to see the good people who have kept OTM thriving. I know I couldn't run this blog by myself.
But an even BIGGER thanks to each of you that visits OTM every daily, reads and comments. The reason why OTM is so great is because of the community; OTM wouldn't survive without all the great Red Sox fans (and, in some cases, not even Red Sox fans) that come here daily.
I'll make a promise right now: this year will be the best year yet. The year of 2009 was fantastic when it came to this blog, but I'm telling you at this moment it will be even better in 2010.
Go OTM and go Sox!

I’m really hopeful that we’ll get a weekly Podcast for this new year, that would be awesome!

Working on that...
…slowly.

Yes, that's (almost) the right pronunciation

Well it's hard to tell what the pronunciation should be
Since vowels aren’t provided in Arabic, I had to guess. . . .
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburstag!
great community, glad i found it.

You meant that guy right?
Not this one, neither that one!

Holla!
Happy birthday OTM. Definitely my #1 non-Yankees blog. Good material, good writing, good commentators. Keep it up.
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

basically without me this place would cease to operate
Trade Beckett before the deadline
I'm taking suggestions from myself on the 2010 rally song.

Since you missed its birthday
The blog is asking for some presents to make up for this unfortunate oversight.
This place needs a forum.
I’m a huge Celtics fan and the SB Nation Celtics blog has a forum which I loooove.
Go Sox!
I'm happy with it the way it is.
The CelticsBlog forum has a tendency to leave the main page relatively empty, and with a fairly low level of conversation.
If you want well thought out commentary on the C’s, you go to the forums. If you want a bunch of reactionary shouting, go to the fanposts.

Now that I think about it
…you’re right.
It does work well the way it is.
OTM rules
Now that I’ve become more involved, I spend much less time focusing on my job. Thank you Randy and the rest of OTM!
In the sense of that ESPN 360 commercial which I love where the sports runs through the network cables into the cublicles of average joes “Thanks ESPN 360, now life life is much less soul crushing!”
Glad to know your work is suffering
That’s what we try to do here at OTM! ;-)

Found OTM this past year
And have loved every day of it. Can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store. Happy Birthday.
So does my niece
I’ll blame her for it.

Yes, I just now realized that OTM and I share the same birthday…
Me, OTM, AND George Washington, as a matter of fact.

Congrats on a great site.
Thanks for havin’ me.
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.
I have a five-tool player in my pants.
Well, you did bring the dip...
