Egads,
They have to do something to put fans in the seats. It's apparent that they can't do it with just talented baseball players, and a pennant winning season.

Their "fans" should be ashamed.

Cheerleaders are quite common south of the border. Traditionalist may tilt their noses up, but I've found them quite entertaining between innings.

Remember, you guys wouldn't think twice if Ted Giannoulas showed up at your game.

But you have to admit, the "Chicken" had cute legs!

Some folks haven't figured out how to use the QUOTE button, and edit the contents of the entire post.



More? Check out the video on this page, with a fake San Diego Chicken making a cameo. Mexican baseball es muy fabuloso.

The San Diego Chicken (Ted Giannoulas) once used my Pittsburgh Pirates painters cap as toilet paper (to the delight of the Padres faithful) during a Bucs/Padres tilt back in the early 80s. After wiping his butt several times, he put the hat back on my head. A good time was had by all.

6-4 isn't exactly an a$$whooping. If you wish to see an a$$whooping, reference the Cubs, which is great to see as far as I'm concerned.

Based on our latest series of threads, being dressed as a chicken wouldn't matter to anyone, as long as we were consistant...LOL.

"Nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts, we got screwed" was always my favorite cheer!! I got kicked out of many basketball games for starting that one going in the stands.
