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.

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

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.

Rather than the community being responsible

I like to think that the absence of women on LL is evidence that women don’t root for the Mariners and therefore are smarter than I

It worked. I rec'd him.

Not that I think that Jeff actually needs a rec for anything. He can probably give himself 20 at a time.
