Youk Shaves, I Worry…

by Red on February 19, 2011

As I’ve pointed out numerous times in the past, I believe Bearded Youkbacca gives the Sox more of an edge than Clean-Shaved Youkbacca. In fact, as I once put it so eloquently, whereas Bearded Youkbacca is the guy who strikes fear in the hearts of mortal pitchers, Clean-Shaved Youkbacca is “the guy who packs your groceries at Shaw’s, the guy who passes the collection basket at Sunday mass and sometimes joins the choir for a heart-wrenching rendition of Ave Maria, and the guy who checks out Superstars On Ice because he wants to see ‘what that Scott Hamilton fellow is up to.’”

So, needless to say, I was a little shaken when I saw Youk being interviewed on NESN the other day sans monster beard. This is a season already brimming with promise and expectations, man. Why torpedo our dreams by getting rid of that sauce catcher when we need its powers most?

I’m sure it’s just a phase. The last remnants of his off-season “humanizing.” As I pointed out in our latest podcast, Youk can grow a beard in the time it takes you and I to drink a glass of water. And I’m certain that, come opening day, he’ll be getting his Sasquatch on at third base.

Someone posted this caption to that picture a few days back - sounds like the guy who runs DListed.

"Because A-Rod clearly prefers a strong, unyielding arm up the anus, here’s a ripped Cameron Diaz leaving a Venice Beach gym yesterday. Unfortunately for her, I can see the semblance of a breast so this relationship was doomed before it even began."

It was one of a few women on here. I gave a good swag.

Remember the Youk Fu only lasted a few days after Picture Day. I predict a triumphant return of the Beard of Truth! :-D

The bigger issue is this: Does he supply the strap on or are they allowed to be "creative"?

Lulling opposing teams into a false sense of security. Opening day its no showers and a full clove of garlic between innings.

My dog thinks she's a groundhog and asked me this morning if it was baseball yet?

That won't do. I saw pictures from early in the week when he was sporting full beard fuzz. And I found him... hot. No no no.

Of course, according to Red on twitter, me finding Youk attractive might mean I was drinking whiskey since breakfast.

The lack of beard for now is just a ploy. Getting the hopes up of the other teams. We all know what he's gonna end up looking like once April comes around...they're gonna need to put a warning on the TV so small children won't be tramatized.

Didn't he start camp clean shaven last year too?
