Yankeetorial: For Andy, waive the beard ban -- now!

For starters, what in the name of Brian Wilson do the Steinbrothers have against hair?

I know, I know... it's refreshing now and then to see Burma-shaven, cratery, freckled, dimple-infested chins -- hopefully splashed with Aqua-Velva. Exposed skin is the Yankee way.

But if we really care about squeaky-clean appearance -- and that's all it is, appearance -- why not ban tattoos? Has anybody seen AJ Burnett with his shirt of. He looks like he fell naked into a pile of rubber stamps.

Hell, if inkface Mike Tyson pitched, he'd play for the Yankees. But Willie Nelson can't?

Let's sweeten the deal for Rev. Pettitte: Not only will we pay him $12-$15 million, whatever, but he can grow a Fu and look evil. Hell, he can be evil. Roger Clemens is going to rip him up in court. So let's drop the evangelical crap and have him as team biker. Play Slipnot when he comes out. Let's grow hair. We need Pettitte -- a black-bearded pirate Pettitte.

Sorry to say this, but in America these days, evil wins. Haven't you been watching the news?
