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? 

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.
