As a parent you are responsible for monitoring your kid's internet activity. Nice try.

Actually dugout seats are usually the seats held by season ticket holders or brokers. Try to call up the box office at most stadia and get a seat a few rows behind the dugout. It's usually not there. The fact is, no matter where you sit, there are going to be people drinking. I still don't see how having cheerleaders makes it any less of a family environment. They aren't even that scantily clad, no more than a lot of women in the stands. Are high school football games not family friendly either? You are wrong about dugout seats, especially in Wrigley. You can walk up to Wrigley the same day as the game and get seats behind either dugout. Justify bad behavior with worse. Awesome parenting. When your kid gets older you'll get to enjoy the conseqences of that attitude. :wink: Enjoy.

I'm sorry Mr. T&A. Some people don't wish to subject their kids to scantily clad women at a sporting event. BTW, they're not 18 and able to legally decide for themselves. If the ballpark wasn't a family venue, I'd say go for it. Girls dancing on the dugout doesn't enhance my baseball experience, only those pathetic individuals not happy with the women in their lives (if they exist). You buy a baseball ticket to...watch baseball. :shock: Amazing. Revolutionary. So are you saying the NFL and NBA aren't family venues. I'd say drunks shouting obsenities is more an affront to my children than those women. No, the NFL and NBA aren't family venues. If drunks are shouting obsenities, you need to ask them to keep it down. I've never had a problem with it. If you let them carry on in front of your children, that's your problem. You've never sat in the bleachers have you? And you actually don't think the NFL is a family venue? I'm guessing you don't like PG movies either. Yes I have sat in the bleachers. I wouldn't bring my kids there. The problem with the cheerleaders (standing on top of the dugout) is that is where the tourists sit with their families, if you haven't noticed. No, the NFL isn't a family venue for the most part, depending on where you sit (and what stadium). If you're far away from the cheerleaders and away from the drunks, it's perfectly ok for kids. I don't care that people want to drink and look at chicks. Fine. Just don't do it around my kids. I'd rather my kids grow up respecting women.

A simulated game thread for some simulated fans...

I second this entire post. Exactly what I was thinking. Does anyone take kids to the ballpark? Is it a family experience? Go to the strip club w/o your kids.

morans.

- Rotoworld Mabry is a beast. Elbow to the back (unintentional) takes out one of the few big bats the Pirates have. Brutal.

He can't get ML hitters out with that minor league deception crap!!!11!

I'd tell those wenches to move. I came to watch the game. If I wanted to see T&A, the ballpark is the last place I'd go. Leave that crap in the XFL and NFL where it belongs.

He's too young. :wink:

gagne, brazoban, nomar...an injury prone outfielder and shortstop. it doesn't look good.

Cubs win!! Cubs win!! 8)

it was crappy D...and it carried into the first couple games of the season. nice to see him getting it together.

oh yeah!!!

Dempster hits Castillo on a 1-2 pitch. :lol:

wuertz. :-#

where was cedeno sliding? LF?

2 RBI chopper! :lol:

You should use your best relievers in your most critical situations. Using Williamson as he was used today was well done by Baker, in my opinion. The question is, was it intentional? I don't think Dusty views Williamson as being ahead of Howry. williamson is filthy sometimes and very mediocre the next. i think dusty is waiting for a little more consistency. he definitely has better stuff than howry. no one questions that.

scary inning, but another 0 on the board.

yeah. and wait till he starts to hit.

wuertz needs to bend over and let marshall and williamson kick him in the rear.

haha. that was pretty sweet.
