Posted November 13, 201113 yr Would you like to see the Mermaids and Manatees back next year? IMO, the Mermaids and Manatees take away the game of baseball and I hope they are gone next year. As for the futures of the Marlins Mermaids and Manatees, Flynn said the organization is still deciding what they will be doing with their in-game activities.
November 13, 201113 yr Not bringing back the mermaids would be the equivalent of the Derek Lee for Hee Seop Choi trade.
November 13, 201113 yr I voted None!! Makes the team look like a Joke, get rid of em....I go to the games to see baseball, not some over the top spray tanned chick with an inch of make-up on, if I want that ill go to the local strip club, now if they were to offer 20 min lap dance for 20 bucks then maybe, but I dont see them doing that any time soon.
November 13, 201113 yr the manatees are fun but we should get rid of the mermaids we dont need baseball cheerleaders. but either way we know they are obviously going to bring back both. billy is going to be "recolored". well see what that means.
November 13, 201113 yr If they're trying to be more latin international, then baseball cheerleaders are perfect.
November 13, 201113 yr Keep the Mermaids. I love telling people the Marlins are the only team that has them.
November 14, 201113 yr Keep the Mermaids. I love telling people the Marlins are the only team that has them. Could say the same thing if we keep the manatees :haha
November 14, 201113 yr Can we alter this thread to include Billy in the poll????? Unless i've missed something, I think his future is in jeopardy as well???
November 14, 201113 yr Can we alter this thread to include Billy in the poll????? Unless i've missed something, I think his future is in jeopardy as well??? I think they said he'll be back. They're just recoloring him.
November 14, 201113 yr The Braves, Rays, and Brewers don't have cheerleaders as much as they have this: The Angels had them at one point but not sure if they still do.
November 14, 201113 yr I'd like to see the Manatees dropped. Adding them was the most bush league thing the franchise has ever done and they don't really fit in with the vibe that the new park is trying to achieve. Clownish? Ridiculous? Embarrassing? Stupid? Adequately descriptive pejoratives escape me. I don't know what they were smoking when they approved that excursion into idiocy, but it must have been some really good stuff. Manatees please be gone.
November 14, 201113 yr The Braves, Rays, and Brewers don't have cheerleaders as much as they have this: The Angels had them at one point but not sure if they still do. Mmmmm, southern girls! I went with "Undecided" but I wish I could change it to just keeping the Mermaids. The Manatees were funny, and they're cool guys but I think we need to move from that, its kind of embarrassing to be laughed at because of them. Marlins are no joke, dammit!
November 14, 201113 yr Reduce the quantity and increase the quality. Make them do funny stuff like fall off the dugout. Lol. However, they're synchronization was terrible, especially with the delay of the music and the jumbo tron at sunlife.
November 14, 201113 yr DJ Petey and DJ Vertigo are much worse than the Mermaids and Manatees. Agree with this. Especially Petey. I don't think either the Mermaids or the Manatees take away from the game. They are between inning entertainment. Nothing more. And at the games the "crowds" seem to like them. If you think they take away from the games then it must be that the kissing cam, throwing promotional shirts to the crowd, etc..., also take away from the game. Between innings just show on the big screen the next batters and what they have done vs that particular pitcher. Or something similar.
November 14, 201113 yr The Braves, Rays, and Brewers don't have cheerleaders as much as they have this: The Angels had them at one point but not sure if they still do. Those aren't cheerleaders??
November 15, 201113 yr I think the Mermaids should be retained, in fact the squad should be tripled, and to reflect the classiness of Miami, they should add lap dances to their repertoire.
November 15, 201113 yr I think we can all agree, less Mermaids, less Manatees, less Petey, less Vertigo... MORE PACHANGA!
