My No. 2 rule in life is to never trust a guy with a mustache. Just take a look back at recent Yankee history for proof: Tom Gordon in the postseason, Randy Johnson anywhere in New York City, Steve Balboni in a big spot.
But Giambi is hitting the ball again now that he has let the hair on his upper lip accept its natural place in this world.
Watching Wednesday night's game, I noticed some stuff located on the space between Ross Ohlendorf's nose and upper lip. Having been on vacation the past two weeks, I called Bronx Fernandez for confirmation of this toddler-stage mustace and not a bunch of dus buildup on my screen. Indeed he confirmed such a development.
Whoa!
Ohlendorf had given up a total of 9 runs in three outings (6 innings) before throwing two shutout innings on May 31. He then threw another shutout inning (one hit on 18 pitches) Wednesday night.
Was the difference in pitch location? Nope. The difference lies in facial hair location. Let those mustaches fly!

How long would it take for Hughes and Kennedy to grow 'staches?
