FRIDAY MUSINGS.
Why are none of these rants about girls sitting in their underwear in their parents’ basements, writing about baseball? Nevermind, don’t answer that. [FJM]
Why don’t we get a parade for Opening Day?? [Church Of Baseball]
Where is the Mets counterpart to this??? [Center Field]

“Why are none of these rants about girls sitting in their underwear in their parents’ basements, writing about baseball?”
Chances are, most of the people who make that joke fail to grasp the fact that this is the 21st century and women are capable of writing as well.
Do David Wright’s vitamin water spots count?
If DD did a NY promotion, it would have to involve Santana flashing his big smile (rather than Papelbon-esque fist-pumping).
But no one would make the joke. or if they did it would turn into this 1970s-esq immature stupidity about ‘well, if girls want to blog in their underwear, they should go right ahead’, nudge nudge wink wink.
but no one ever thinks there are women on the internet ANYWHERE. on my music blog, i am constantly addessed as ‘he’ or ‘buddy’ or ‘man’ or ‘guy’.
texy: d. wright’s vitamin water spots don’t count because they weren’t as omnipresent nor as COOL.
I feel the same way about people who refer to “the guys at One More Dying Quail”. Guys? Nope - just me. Guy. Thanks, however, for thinking that my blog is so awesome that its content must be created by multiple people.
