That's My Mets Beard, Baby

Vic Black, Bobby Parnell, Kirk Nieuwenhuis jump on a trend.

I don't get the baseball-beard thing. These guys look like idiots.

Black looks like an enchanted woodlands creature. In fact, a Vic Black Gnome Day would be redundant.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Mike Piazza's wife.

Yup, I don't get it, either. But Kirk looks nicely groomed.

Not exactly sure what beard-wearing brings to the table except to scream, "I have ample levels of testosterone!". Vic Black's beard looks like something you'd buy in a novelty store for $2.99, for one thing.

Weird-ass beards are for hockey. Weird-ass mustaches are for baseball.

You wouldn't have though any Met could out douchebeard Justin Turner, but here we are. I think Kirk is giving the best beard of those three. High quality Mets beards through history: 1. Angel Pagan, baby. [fimg=350:18r4u0x3]https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/angel_pagan-300x3009.jpg[/fimg:18r4u0x3] [fimg=350:18r4u0x3]http://baseballnewssource.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Pagan.jpg[/fimg:18r4u0x3] Neither of these fully capture's its magic, but I think it was LWFS who said that Angel may have achieved the Platonic ideal of "beard." it was a beard fit for a man named Angel.

2. They weren't all good days, but on its best days, Jason Pridie's beard could turn heads. [fimg=600:176gynlq]https://cbsnewyork.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/127231943.jpg[/fimg:176gynlq]

When I think of Mets beards I think of Jeff Reardon. This wasn't a fucking-around-over-the-offseason beard.

Edgy MD Feb 18 2015 02:28 PM Re: That's My Mets Beard, Baby

Totally suited him. That's the beard of a guy who spent the offseason working on boats in New England. Not like the posers we're getting here. Zachry, or course, also wore it authentically. His was the beard of a guy who hauled fertilizer in the back of a pickup. It defined Mets beards for a generation, inspired wannabes like Kevin Kobel and Dwight Bernard, and distinguished the scratchy Mets from the beardless Yankees. Is there any doubt this guy had a still?

Black now looks like Yukon Cornelius. "Ground balls bounce!"

But Vic Black ain't chosen THAT often, and Bobby Parnell shoots his meat more frequently than he buys it halal.

Bad News Beard Terry Collins probably jinxed Harvelous's comeback when he said that Harvey was throwing "stinking dynamite". http://nypost.com/2015/02/22/stinking-d ... -drooling/
