Isn’t he one of the young studs who they are counting on in the future? Just because a young player had a poor start in a crucial game in a W-S, doesn’t mean as much as his performance over the 162 game season. And the potential for future performance.

I’m the authority of facial hair and I would usually hand a guy like Holland a razor. To go out there and wear that mustache, if that’s what we’re going to call it, with pride, I respect that.

His facial hair is the envy of most 14 yr old boys now though.

Some chick asked him if he wanted a cookie, then Chris Hansen started asking him all these weird questions.
