The End of the 2006 Playoff Beard
Guess what? We actually have some Hell Yeah Bitch! .com produced video for you today. First change your pants and then check out the video below. The video retells the beautiful story of the shaving of the 2006 playoff beard that worked perfectly…subtitle: The Greatest Shave Ever.

Today I am kind of clean shaven and I have to say, I’m experiencing a little post-beard depression. I miss it. Maybe, next season, I should do a Season Beard. Nah, I’d rather have a girlfriend. I’ll have to just wait for October 2007.
Let me apologize for having to use youTube, but when I was trying to get this converted into flash last night it was problem after problem (thanks for nothing FFMpegX) so this morning I had to fall back on the old faithful youTube. Once I find a solid method of flv creation at home, I move this back to a in-house solution. Update: Fixed. Not the way I would have preferred, but fixed all the same. Its still on youTube though, and I’ll leave the link up.
Download the Clinching Playoff Games
I’m really not trying to turn this into a Cardinals site…maybe not as hard as I should be…but I figured anyone in St. Louis might want to know this little nugget of information: You can download, for free, a copy of the clinching games from each round of the playoffs by going to this site and entering in your MLB.com login information (you can make an account there too). Thats all. Download the games you want and watch them until February when pitchers and catchers report. I’m downloading game 5 of the World Series and game 7 of the NLCS right now, and I’ll report back with quality and length, but the wording implies whole games so I hope thats true. Each game in MPEG4 clocked in at around 800 MB so keep that in mind you Amish people with dial up, but if thats not you, go there right now.

Playoff Beards Are Cool
You can how your power pitching and you defense when October rolls around and sounds of ESPN fill with baseball playoff recaps with a little Terrel Owens mixed in for flavor, but for me, the number one way to win a playoff series is simple: Grow a playoff beard. Sure Chris Carpenter might have pitched great in two games against the Padres, but he only did that for two games, my beard was going strong and kicking ass for all 4 games. Can anyone else explain the greatness that Weaver explained? I can. Playoff Beard.
Guess what? I’m not the only one that believes in their greatness. This guy’s on board, and so is Adam Wainwright. (I tried, but couldn’t find a picture of Wainwright rocking the playoff beard last night as he closed out the game, but trust me…hes a one of us.
