McCutchen has lost the dreadlocks

Hopefully everyone else soon follows suit.

Dreadlocks don't bother me. What I am sick of looking at are all these ridiculous uber-beards. Players shouldn't have to groom as if they're all on the Yankees, but this [expletive] has gone way too far.

Everyone growing beards is the worst thing since the ironic mustache.

I can grow a solid goatee, but I grow terrible beards. There's a bald spot on my left cheek that doesn't help any.

 

I'm definitely jealous of people that can grow good beards.

I didn't shave the month of July 2013. Let's just say there hasn't been a desire to repeat the experiment.

[SouthSideRyan]

Yeah, that Brian Wilson is so funny

There's definitely a difference between a beard and these disgusting abominations that look as if spanish moss has overtaken people's faces.

 

And I can grow a beard, but I almost never get beyond the 3-4 week point before something about it irritates me and I shave it. Or my wife tells me to get it off of my face, which I really have little opposition to doing.

They are certainly doing a...more interesting job of marketing him.

Who do you think is doing the mugging?

Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, but the cards will be sporting "OT" sleeve patches this season in honor of the late Oscar Taveras.

So, the Orioles might send Gausman to the pen. I don't know if I've ever seen a team send their best pitcher to the pen before.

Mariner's prospect Victor Sanchez, who was hit in the head with a boat propeller while swimming in Venezuela in February, died from his injuries this evening. Tragic.
