There was a nice little addition to Eric Byrnes’ face the first month of the year — perhaps it was a good luck charm. Byrnsie decided to grow out his ’stache during his 14-game hitting streak which ended on Sunday. Though the hitting streak came to an end, the ‘stache will apparently live on strong.
“It’ll be back; you guys have not seen the last of the ’stache,” he said. ‘I’m going with the ’stache all year. I will have a 1970s porn ’stache the entire year.”
Apparently it’s not just Byrnsie who’s going with the stache look — the Milwaukee Brewers had it going Monday when I was watching their game. Jason Kendall was rocking a mean one, Carlos Villanueva’s looked money, Ryan Braun’s needed some growth, but Prince Fielder’s was looking strong. Matter of fact, Prince had the mutton chops going, too — he looked tight. Though mustaches were such a great part of the game’s past, I think they should only be reserved for times of need these days. May the ’stache live on strong with you Byrnsie, Brewers.

The king of the porn stash is and will always be Jeff Kent.
I think Kent’s stache has lost a few steps over the years.
How does a mustache lose a few steps?
Just a joke … like a how a pitcher’s fastball loses some speed over the years
