Gross!

The Brewers traded Gabe Gross today after he scored the game winning run in extra innings.

Ouch.

Poor fella. Sure I've been damning him because he hasn't been to hot but today he did good and then blam-o! Off to Tampa Bay you go for a minor league pitching prospect. Things just move so fast in baseball! It is such a sport for commitment-phobs.

Thanks to extra innings I go to watch part of the game today which is always fantastic in my book. And extra fantastic today because Counsell was playing so I got to see more then just a pinch hit. But SERIOUSLY! why is it every single fooooooking time he starts a game I can't watch it? Is this karma or something? Aye yi yi.

Sorry but another Brewers aside...

Last year as a team (and by team I mean a vast majority of players...I'm lookin' at you Rickie Weeks and Turnbow!) they wore rally pants , then they shaved their heads and now this year so far it's about facial hair. And some of the guys look really, really bad with a mustache. I mean like porn star 'stache bad or creepy child molester bad. I'm sorry Carlos Villanueva...your 'stache makes it look like you should be the star in a really, really, really bad adult film. And Corey Hart, you look like you'd be violating your parole by getting within a 100 feet of a child. Corey Hart doesn't look creepy if he goes with the full beard as seen earlier this year, it's the just mustache look that does not suit him. Then again I think no man with blond hair should grow facial hair of any sort. For one it doesn't really show up that well unless they grow a ton and then I just find most times it makes the person look like a goon.

...I wonder what it's like to have a mustache. I should ask my mom. Ohhhhhhhhh SNAP! Kidding! Kidding! My mother isn't one of those ladies!

Then again if I could, or if I did have the capability of growing one I'd fall into the category of creepster by my own rules. Aside from the fact that I'm a girl and having a 'stache would be weird regardless of color.

It's just interesting how some guys can rock both the facial hair and none. Then some guys should never go a day without shaving and then some guys only look good when they got hair on their face. The wonders of the world never cease. I guess it's sorta of the equivalent of hair length on women. Except it takes months to grow your hair out and a dude like a week to get a goatee. Unless you're my brother and then you need a month to even get a five o'clock shadow. That doesn't warrant an Ohhhh SNAP! Because it's the cold hard truth.

I don't think I've thought this hard about facial hair since Apollo Ohno brought the soul-sole patch to the mainstream. And Howie Mandel's was thought provoking when he was on Leno or Conan and said how at some waxing place in Hollywood had a wax called the Howie Mandel. Oh how you know you've made it when they name one of those after you.

That was a lot of hair talk.
