Hair Apparent

From the Strib:

A decision was made during the players' meeting for everyone to get their hair cut as short as possible. It coincided with both teams honoring the armed forces Saturday.

A few Twins, including Nick Punto and Jason Tyner, resisted as long as they could before going along. One unnamed Twin actually text messaged his wife over the weekend to warn her that she was going to see less of her man.

Batgirl nominates Jason Tyner for the silliest-looking guy with a crew cut--sort of like a badly shaved ferret-- but she didn't get to see the doos for herself. Who looked most like an oddly-coiffed rodent?

My theory is that the players figured that if getting rid of Ponson's mullet (and the rest of him) helped the team... imagine if they *all* got rid of their hair?

Poor Jason Tyner! He had such pretty hair. :(

I hope the Twins don't have a Mauer sideburns giveaway planned for the near future...

well, it worked for the Mets...

Stacey I agree about Tyner - I've always thought he had gorgeous hair.
I noticed alot of facial hair was gone as well - Mauers "burns" and Barty's chin beard were the most noticable. EEeek!!

Poor, Poor Tyner. How's my boyfriend supposed to look like a WWI flying ace NOW?

Mauer's burns are gone? Yikes, I hope not! How are we supposed to tell him apart from his older brother, Jake, now? I agree about Tyner, that hair style was his own. Poor Assassin, lol! I saw Cuddy and Justin on Saturday with thier new buzz cuts, but they looked ok.

Not the sideburns!!! Whyyyyyyy?!?!? Dang, I didnt get to see any of them...

Posted by: Megs at May 21, 2007 10:08 AM

Does anyone have pics??? I'm dyin' to see what the fellas look like! I'm also curious to know who the unnamed Twin was who texted the "little missus" to let her know what's up. *makes whipped noise* :-P

Well, no wonder they lost yesterday if Joe's burns are gone! What good could possibly come of that?!

We should send "grow back soon" cards for them

The fellas all looked very young and boyish with their hair and beards gone.
Cirillo looked good with a buzz, but the one I wanted to see was JoeNate as he always had such a big ol thick head of hair but he kept his cap ont in the dugout. (Maybe he was the one texting!!)

If everyone else had to lose some hair, I think Torii should get in the spirit of things and grow some hair!

Wonder Mom will be very sad if the VP shaved his head - she loves his unkempt mop.
I love DJ Cuddles but I love him a little better with some hair =)
I also love that LNP and Jason Tyner are a little vain =)

Did anyone see the Chairman's national Pepsi spots with Johnny Damon?? I saw three of the spots. Funny- you can see all four spots on Fox9.com - click on the Twins Section

Happy Monday =)

Much Love
Wonder Woman

Some-one has gotta have pictures.... Anyone?
Will be at the cabin all week but I'll be rootin' for Justin and the boys from the Canadian boarder. Hopefully we can put up some Ws while I'm up there, A?

Stan McNeal at The Sporting News has some insight into the player haircuts. It's a pretty good article about how the Twins are the epitome of team play. Click my name to read the article.

Let's hope that it's the little trick they need to get things going eh?

Sooo weird seeing Shaggy without a speck of shag on his head.

I am also sad about the Tynerhair. Tynerhair was such wonderful stuff. Hope it grows back fast, heh.

And THAT'S what was weird when I spotted Mauer in the dugout. I couldn't put my finger on it yesterday. It was the lack of 'burns. Man.

Couldn't Doc be granted an exemption from the Canadian Armed Forces? Milwaukee did have a "Salute
the Troops" night.

I haven't seen any of the bald boys yet, unfortunately. But last night I got to watch a smidgen of the game and I decided that Mike Redmond has got to look the most ridiculous. He's balding a little already, and I just feel like his head shape combined with his absent upper lip would make for a not so cute baldy.

Posted by: Erin at May 22, 2007 04:25 PM

NO! Nicky Punto should NOT have a shaved head. He had beautiful hair!!

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at May 22, 2007 06:07 PM

My boyfriend, Jason Bartlett, doesn't look TOO bad, though.

Posted by: TwinsPrincess at May 22, 2007 06:08 PM

Nobody wants a bald Punto.

I can't wait until they come home. I wanna see how the look!

Posted by: Bring Back Reboulet at May 22, 2007 09:50 PM

I caught a brief glimpse of buzzed LNP during the broadcast of the game tonight, and he was right to hold off until the end. . .
