Could it be? No, come on. Has the mustache lost its luster? Contrary to popular LBS belief, facial hair may not be everything after all. Twins ace Carl Pavano finished a terrible month of April on Sunday with a loss to the Royals. His ERA through six starts is 5.84. We know Pavano’s head isn’t right because of his reaction after his rough outing in Kansas City. Any sensible pitcher would take out their frustrations on the water cooler. For whatever reason, Pavano picked a different victim. Check out the video of Carl Pavano smashing a trash can, courtesy of Hardball Talk:
One thing I will give Carl credit for is using a bat. A lot of pitchers (yes you, A.J. Burnett) smash things with their hands and end up hurting themselves in the process. Either Pavano was being mindful of his health or he thought the bat would do more damage. Something tells me it was the latter.
