Around SBN: Watch Out For Cowboys UDFA Tim Benford

There's a lot of anti-Dinger sentiment out there. I'm sure that there are some pro-Dinger people like me.

Now, you have your chance to have your voice heard ... I am launching a grassroots campaign to ensure that Dinger is kept in office. You can join up and add your favorite Dinger stories ad photos.

Check it out at SaveDinger.com

(Yes, I'm serious. Why do people keep asking that?)

You haven't kept up with the threads , evidently

I have always liked Dinger and expressed so on numerous occassions and roundly criticized for it.

I like Dinger

Put me in on the side of saving Dinger also. He destracts my 4 and 7 year old for an inning or two so I can relaxe with a beer and watch baseball.

What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????

I'm forgainst it

I couldn’t possibly care less. He’s not Rocky, but he doesn’t bother me. Also, he’s always behind the plate for the Rockies pitchers as well, so I don’t get the argument that he distracts opposing pitchers. He squats down when the pitcher winds up, makes movements when the catcher throws the ball back. Nothing wrong with that.

I'll sing you a song of college days and tell you where to go.
Aggies, where your knowledge is, and Boulder to spend your dough.
CC for your sissy boys, Utah for your times.
DU for your ministers, and drunkards, School of Mines.

"Don't send my boy to Wyoming U," a dying mother said.
"Don't send him to old Brigham Young; I'd rather see him dead.
But send him to our Aggies; it's better than Cornell.
Before I'd see him in Boulder, I'd see my son in hell."

I quite like Dinger, having never had to experience him in the flesh. I think he's a well-designed mascot.

The Barney thing is unfortunate, but having been in meetings where Barney was discussed (I used to work for the company who owned the rights), everyone’s well aware that he doesn’t appeal in any way to anyone who can even read, let alone type angrily on the internet. So all we can really do is try to put it out of our minds :)

I love Dinger.

He seems like great mascot and the stuff behind the backstop is fine by me. I didn’t know people liked Rocky. He seems like a jerk. I was at a Broncos game when they had mascots play a pee-wee football team and when he came out of the tunnel he blindsided a 10 year old kid at full speed. It was kinda funny but stupid at the same time.

A dinosaur is an acceptable mascot.

Ours just needs to be redesigned….and kept the hell away from behind the plate.

Is it 2011 yet?

"kept the hell away from behind the plate."

That’s really the only thing that must be done.

Really, if he’s kept away from his obnoxious in game behavior at the plate, everything else is either forgivable or easy enough to overlook.

So let's just win 12 more games next year, mmmkay?

Will the Gints complain about the non-humidor balls in Citizens Bank Ballpark when they lose there, too?
