Just thought you might like to meet the Marlins' "Mermaids" and the Royals' K Crew.

Sam did present this without comment, perhaps he is pointing out that the Royals are taking the high road rather than that they should change to a sexier crew?
Clearly, the Royals are trying to please all levels of fans. Old and young. Male and female. Jail-bate lovers and chubby chasers.
I think seeing a mermaid with a hot dog cannon would be too much.
Some of those chicks look like they might be hot...I mean...picture those "mermaids" in this cold, dry, KC weather.
Wait a minute...
sam mellinger, young man, you need to learn something. there is such a thing as class. the marlins have no class with this, but it fits in for where they are, in south florida. think that goes over in kc? doubt it! the royals are doing fine in their representation of the k-crew. it's not alllllll about your hormanal-driven ideas dude. i really don't want to see baseball turned into a sex-driven thing. get a clue. although as much as i love to see scantily clad women on the sidelines, it doesn't really fit in with baseball. just shows us it's yet another marketing move by major league baseball.
i can really do without that. just throw, hit and field the ball. let me see the talent. that's all i need dude. i'll get my sexual turn-ons elsewhere ok? :D
Oh Sam... You could've at least got a "current" KCrew page... That was from 2007
Altho... point taken
Best post of the year Sam. Can we get some Merroyals or kick the dudes out of the KC crew.
Trying to get the ol' page view numbers up, eh, Sam?

If one wanted to quickly illustrate the difference between Miami & KC, just show these two groups for comparison!
Very good first-day turnout on Twitter. Thank you. If you're on and haven't found me, I'm at "mellinger." Let's join up, we'll have fun.
You may have noticed we didn't have an MGD update after the weekend, and that's because of a bonus weekend post on SI coverboy/comedian Zack Greinke, and that Davies' start on Thursday means we won't miss a week with an MGD update.
Zack Greinke, for a lot of reasons, might be the most interesting player on the Royals roster, and this is a team that includes an outfielder who owns lions and ostriches and likes to be slapped in the face, a pitcher who was knighted by his native Aruba, another who works construction in the offseason, and a reliever who body slams opposing players and prides himself on his baking.
Greinke is the most-requested interview for this blog, and if you act now, you can read a bonus interview where Kyle Davies defends himself against what he alleges is Greinke's slander. All in good fun.
Confession time. That "contest" we ran here
was officially won by Tom Barkwell from Madagascar, and I loved both his words and the fact that he sent them from an island nation in the Indian Ocean, but I gotta tell you, it wasn't my favorite letter.
Nope, my favorite came from Army Maj. Michael Lalor, whose words came from Iraq.
I didn't mention this in the original contest because I wanted to give Michael his own post. He was kind enough to answer some questions over e-mail, which we're turning into the latest interview. His letter is below our e-mail exchange.
Is this why KC is considered a "cow" town?
Anyway, thanks for the link. I'm sure my employer appreciates the lost productivity!
