What’s Edgier Than a Mustache?

Without the mustache, Ted Nugent is pretty vanilla.

Over the weekend, there was much talk and consternation over Omar Minaya’s comments that the Mets lacked “edge.” In fact, he said that the team’s lack of edge is why he brought in Alex Cora and Gary Sheffield.  That was Omar’s response to how smooth the Mets are (smooth is the opposite of edgy, right?).  Seems to me, though, that there is an easier (and cheaper) way to gain an edge.  Mustaches.

I don’t know much about Alex Cora, other than he’s 33 and looks 12.  Not exactly edgy.  As for Sheff, well, that dude wasn’t born edgy.  He had an edgy mentor.

But at the end of the day, nothing adds edge like smoking cigarettes a mustache.  Now more than ever the Mets need David Wright to grow a mustache.  He’s the captain.  He’s the leader.  He can be the edge.

If not David, I know a certain someone who looked pretty edgy with a stache (and there may just be a spot in the rotation available).
