The Girls of Lookout Landing

Excuse me, girl.

My friend introduced me to LL.   She doesn't post here anymore, because y'all were assholes to her.  Why?  You'd think you'd want women around.  Don't you want a girl that loves baseball?  Don't you want a gf who goes to the games with you and can discuss the ineptitude of the FO and the race for Strasburg? 

 

Star-divide

Don't get me wrong.  I'm not on this site to pick up.   Yeah, I enjoy being a novelty; I'm not afraid to admit it.  But I'm here for the baseball.  No, I don't always understand the statistical analysis.  My dad is a baseball statistician.  He's been trying to teach me that stuff for years.  It doesn't stick.  But that doesn't mean I don't love baseball.  I've been a Mariners fan since my parents first stuck an oversized onesie on my week-old self.  I had a baseball in my crib.  The 2008 team might have failed already, but no matter.  That's what being an Ms fan is. 

And that's why I stick around.  No one in this town understands the absolute agony of loving a losing team--and they sure aren't clever enough to express it in the hysterical ways I've seen on LL.  People here wear Cubs hats and have no idea that the old-school bear even represents the Cubs.  They're the worst type of Yank and Sox fans.  They just don't get it.  So I come and hang out with y'all to remember what it means to be a real fan. 

For the most part, I can take the shit y'all throw my way.  Women in the kitchen and womens' intelligence jokes don't bother me.  But don't tell me I'm here for attention or any kind of bullshit like that.  In this town of drunkards and sleezebags, I could get much more gratifying attention in a much shorter time (clearly the CL posting proved that).  I'm here for the baseball.  Keep that in mind and you might get other women to stick around, too.

It takes one undesirable to pee in someone's cornflakes.

I’d like to think that the regulars have been amicable, but I can think of two incidents where people have just been straight up pervy or assholish. LL is the greatest site on all the internets and the community is a big reason why, we’re capable of being better and need to do so.

Your right; it is the greatest site on the internets.

And thanks to all the regulars who did let the idiots know when they were out of line.

I'll toss a rec out for this

I think that the regulars have built quite the community feeling around here, a big reason why we can stand the losing seasons and inept front offices – but there are also the people that jump in here, throw a few barbs, and then escape. Those are the people that I can see others having a problem with.

The female factor is a novelty, sure, but after a few GTE explosions (and the infamous whiskey diary) I think that the novelty disappears (at least in my eyes) and you are just another piece of the community.. I dunno, just my two cents.

You can do what I did.

Listen/watch to as many games as possible when she’s around. Make your kid(s) play/watch/listen to baseball as much as possible. Talk to your family/friends on the phone about baseball. Eventually you’ll wear her down enough and she’ll start tolerating baseball instead of disliking it. Then, she’ll start liking it and talk to you about it.

The only offense I can think of that I have made

were several references to Eric Bedard having a vagina. It was a crude joke meant to convey I think he needs to “man up” so to speak. If you found it offensive then I apologize. I do sometimes fall into the trap of typing like I am talking sometimes, and I work in a place where it is nothing but dozens of men all in a confined area. We tend to get downright disgusting sometimes and I forget about my filter. I don’t have a thin skin though, so if I ever say anything out of line then I would like people to tell me so that I can be sure to correct the problem. It is never my intention to be purposefully mean or hurtful.

2. The majority of y’all are extremely cool and went out of your way to apologize even if you didn’t offend. Thanks.
3. I like being an outed girl, because I can post things like “watch Sex and the City for tips” and not get called gay.
4. In that same vein, why is it that Cubs players are all attractive and the Mariners, in addition to being crap, also are ugly?

Even with #3

I think LFOJL will forever be the vanguard of the women’s movement in this community.

He does watch infinitely more chick flicks than I.

Yes, I'm a girl. Yes, I know baseball. Yes, I even drink beer.

This part is, by far, the most damning.

How did I not hear of this before? It has Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore in it so it must be good

I am using it for any pro-LFoJL movement.

#1 can be attributed to GTE, so it's all good.

Be glad there aren't more ladies around...

It would wreak havoc on the plumbing.

Uh, WTF

Dude, I started posting to Lookout Landing over three years ago (and was around for L43), probably before most of the current “regulars”, including NOLAwhatever, who I’d never even heard of until someone told me to look at this post. Yeah, people were kind of jerks and assholes from time to time, but nothing worse than you’d expect anywhere on the internet. I don’t know if it’s gotten worse recently, but when I do scan through posts here it doesn’t seem any different than before… there’s just a lot more than there used to be!

I didn’t leave LL because of people—I mostly left because I can’t search for relevant stuff on here anymore since SBNation’s big “upgrade”, and because, well, I moved to Japan last year, and baseball here is just a bazillion times more interesting to me than the MLB (which was always the case, I suppose, but it was a little different when I was going to 50 Mariners/Rainiers/etc games a year). I think, though, even if I was still interested in following the Mariners beyond the 30 seconds a day I see of them on TV here when Ichiro or Johjima does something, it would be pretty hard to keep up with things; I just don’t have the time to read LL like I used to, and since the busier posting times are all during the wee hours of the night here…

Honestly, I don’t know why there weren’t women on LL back in the day (when there used to be a ton on AN and we all thought it was a strange phenomenon). I actually thought it had more to do with the team itself than with the blogosphere.

It's been going on for a while

I’ve just tried to ignore the people that do it, but the douchiness quotient around here has been rising again lately, and it’s irritating.

Ah, sorry.

I wonder, will it quiet down when the M’s situation settles down? Or when someone runs rampant with a banstick and a dustpan?

by Deanna on Jun 23, 2008 9:43 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Option B I think

I’m not sure the douchebags care if the team wins or loses, they’ve seen an opening and grabbed it and now they won’t stop until they’re banned.
