Hump Day Hair

In lieu of any photos featuring Troy Tulowitzki’s apparent attempt to bring back the 1991 rapper hair style (yes, it’s boarding on Vanilla Ice territory) I bring you the Mets. Apparently they are growing beards until the team reaches .500. And with last night’s mess, it’s looking like they could be sporting this look all the way until next spring training. Here are few of examples:

Angel Pagan and Omir Santos
Betch you didn't think you'd see those names in the Mets lineup in August.

The beard in its infancy.

Jeff Francoeur
According to last night's broadcast, Mr. Francoeur was very proud of his professionally groomed beard. Of course this isn't a photo of the beard after it was groomed, but it proved why he needed to be.

Johan Santana
I think the beard brought Johan some good luck on Tuesday. He did get a double and drove in two runs.

Sean Green
Sadly the same could not be said for Sean, who hit a batter (Mark DeRosa) to walk home a run and then gave a up a grand slam to Albert Pujols.

Mike Pelfrey
Even with the beard, he still looks confused and out of place on the mound.

Tim Redding
Clearly the best of the bunch
