And I ask "where is such a 'dance troupe' to stand during the game?" I mean, there's little to no space in the bullpen, and foul territory is pretty important too...

They wonder the ballpark during the game and 'perform' on top of the dugouts twice a game.

"I think it's a great idea," left fielder Adam Dunn said. "It gets the fans into (the game) and gives us something to look at." Hopefully he doesn't lead the team in errors this season...

well then, I think that its a great idea...as long as Adam Dunn actually keeps his head in the game...

Hopefully he doesn't lead the team in errors this season... Honestly, I think that explains a lot about Dunn's fielding. Other things Adam might sneak a peek at: pitcher, batter, count, number of outs. /thanks commish errors don't count in our fantasy league

You know Joe Morgan has had a heart attack about this.

For years at Briggs Stadium in Detroit there were big old male cheerleaders of a sort for the right-field bleecher seats. It was a blast sitting out there. Those guys kept every fan in the game.

What else would you expect in Cincinnati...the town whose claim to fame is once having Jerry Springer as mayor.

You can;t go wrong with dancing women at the game.

You know, if I was a player I wouldn't want anybody prancing on my dugout roof. what kind of view is Adam Dunn getting looking up out of the dugout? What's next? Seventh inning stretch dance routines or pyramids on the pitcher's mounds?

I don't know. Call me old-fashioned, but cheerleaders at a baseball game? I like to check out the girls as much as anyone, but it just doesn't "feel" right for some reason. Might take some getting used to.

you know their kind of cute but wierd the only time I've ever seen baseball cheerleaders before that was in the movie zapped and heather thomas killed

"Especially in this market, sizzle sells," said Sean Flynn, Marlins vice president of marketing. God knows the Marlins have done such a fine job of putting butts in seats. You know Joe Morgan has had a heart attack about this. While I would never wish him a heart attack I would love anything that left Joe Morgan dumbfounded.

the more cheerleaders the better!

can't seem to find the thread right now, but isn't our very own Eric Knott dealing with baseball cheerleaders? Just one more thing that the bigs are learning from the minors and instructional ball....

Here is part of it elovrich. Had fun re-reading alot of that thread.

Speaking of Eric Knott, you can buy a Pericos de Puebla cap! Too cool. And yes, Eric's team does have cheerleaders.

Last I knew, they didn't have cheerleaders in Milwaukee. But give me Bernie Brewer over a bunch of cheerleaders any time! Then again, I don't particularly enjoy looking at women. :p

Ten bucks says that both dugouts' roofs leak like a sieve all year long. And that players suddenly start bringing video cameras with them to every game. Hope they set up a website.

While I was watching the Braves game yesterday the camera's would pan out to the cheerleaders now and then between innings. It looked like they were tossing souvenirs into the crowd around them. Rather odd actually.

AHH-another use for the flag poles, during 7th inning stretch maybe

our cheerleaders are garbage. if anyone can find pictures of the sultanes de monterrey cheerleaders, that is a sight to behold. i can understand the marlins cheerleaders because going to a a marlins game is like going to a minor league game, but for the rest of the league it seems a little bush league. also the cheerleaders from my dominican team, the tigres de licey are really nice looking. as far as being here, it's been so-so at best. i've had four out of five qualitly starts but i am getting chinked to death. 45 hits in 31 innings with only one homerun allowed. i'm still having fun but i miss the family terribly. 3 easters for my daughter and still haven't spent one with her.
