As I was sitting here, staring at my laptop screen and trying to write a piece about the Kevin Youkilis-Paul O’Neill comparisons I keep reading about, a tweet popped up in my Twitter timeline that made me pause.

The tweet had a picture of Joba Chamberlain and his new mustached. Here’s a link to that picture.

Joba, really?

Youkilis had mentioned Joba’s new mustache and we all saw hints of it during interviews on his first day at training camp but I really wasn’t prepared for this. I really hope he lost a bet.
