What Would Ollie Do?

Well, there’s been no official word on what Jerry Manuel and Omar Minaya have planned for Oliver Perez.  They will skip his next scheduled start and possibly use him in relief this week, but no one is calling it a formal assignment to the bullpen.  Since management seems to be at a loss, why not let the best and the brightest decide Ollie’s fate.  So, what say you, Wright Stache readers?

More Ladies Lovin’ the Stache

Our dear friends at Ladies on the Field, Gangstas on the Bus have been running a poll of their readers to gauge their thoughts on David Wright growing a mustache. We realized that it could be a polarizing topic in the female community due to their love of David’s boyish good looks. Who among us hasn’t had to endure the high-pitched scream or lustful swoon of a female Mets fan when David has come up to bat? Nevertheless, we’re very pleased with the Ladies’ poll results:

And the poll is closed! 58% of the Ladies want to see a stache on our beloved’s face. Not a ringing endorsement, but then you didn’t think this journey would be easy, did you? Change is always frightening.

We’re proud of you, ladies. You’ve put the greater good ahead of your schoolgirl crushes. A more heroic sacrifice has never been made (outside of those made in bunt form). Kudos and huzzah to you all.

Ladies on the Field, Gangstas on the Bus

And the winner is…

First, we introduced you to it. You shook hands with it, made small talk, gave it a light pet, felt its warmth. You got to know it.

Then, we schooled you on its significance. Its history. Its magnitude. Its authority among all other sportstaches.

And now, you’ve crowned it. You spoke up and you awarded Keith Hernandez’s Mustache as your Favorite Metstache of All Time. And we can’t say we disagree: it truly is a work of beauty and an inspiration to men everywhere, professional athletes and regular-folk alike. So, congratulations Keith.

And congratulations Wright Stache readers, for making an informed and educated decision on such an important issue. Your voice was heard. Our only hope is that one day, ideally one in the near future, the Favorite Metstache award can be handed over to David: our one and only Golden Boy. Because not only is it David’s destiny to wear such an honored and adorned crown…it’s his God-given birthright.

Make It So, and God bless the Metstache.

Last Call: Favorite Metstache Poll

We’re bruised. We’re bloodied. We’re broken. We’re really sick of arguing. So we’re going to end the poll once and for all. At exactly 2pm today, the poll booths are being folded up and the gymnasium doors locked – so vote while you can. We’ve had a decent turnout so far and we’re pretty sure we know who’s going to win, but we’re still waiting for a few of the red states to report – turns out HoJo might have a chance after all.

So pick ‘em while they’re hot, and check back later today to see which Metstache gets the gold ribbon.

Poll: Favorite Metstache

Here at The Wright Stache, we like us some good old fashioned debatin’. And not the kind that ends in hand shakes – the kind that ends in fist fights. So when we all sat down and tried to plead our cases for our favorite Metstaches of all time, things got ugly. Names were called. Fingers were pointed. Mets memorabilia was shattered. Broken glass was….well, everywhere. So we figure the only way this is ever going to get settled is if we get our readers’ opinions. So, here goes:
