Family members of athletes in the stands

[jim]

Please stop putting them on TV. I don't care about Mrs. Glavine and the little gremlins, and I don't care about Ma and Pa Glavine. Maybe one shot as he's coming off to let everyone know that his family is there supporting him, that's nice. But this constant showing of family members is over the top. I'm interested in watching the players on the field, not the wives and parents.

In the 9th Inning alone, we set an over/under of 9 shots of Mrs. Glavine. Needless to say, the over won in a landslide.

Did you see the replay of Mrs. Glavine during the Brewers game? Not enough that we see her umpteen times live, but we actually have to watch a replay of her 5 days ago.

I've wondered if the shot of her after Mota blew the Milwaukee game had caused any friction in the clubhouse.

I'm sure Mota wasn't happy about blowing the lead. He didn't need to see Mrs. Glavine in every other highlight glaring at him on the field.

Couldn't agree more. I'm getting sick and tired of seeing Barry Bonds' little girl do her "chicken dance" when he walks. I certainly don't see her doing a "choke hold" on herself when he strikesout or pops out.....therefore, I don't need to see her stupid chicken dance (with her smiling mom sitting next to her).

I like looking at the players wives.......most of them are smokin hot!!!

Fact is the Cardinals are not worth watching this year anyway.....

Show me the women!!!!!!

I agree, although I thought it was pretty cool to see Weaver's brother rooting for us during the World Series last year.

That was different, another MLB player rooting for his brother. That I didn't mind at all, agree that it was kind of neat.

I didn't see the game, but I saw the recap and Mrs. Glavine was in the recap probably 5-6 times, which I found odd. But it just reminded me of the gal in the red hat, maybe Wainwright's wife, during the clinching game last year. I don't have a problem with it. IMO, they've got as much emotional attachment to the situation at hand as anyone else does, and probably more than the average fan.

Aside, Mike and Mike were talking about this on my way in this morning. Their take on it was that anytime you've got a nice looking person, fan or player, they're going to get more face time, nature of the medium.
