As Vin Scully noted in the ninth inning last night regarding Casey, "Maybe the beard is working." I had to do something to take my mind off not winning 10 in a row and help me forget about the Ramon performance last night.  As a follow up to my earlier-in-the-season poetry regarding the ONE with NO Beard, I used the words and tune from My Boyfriends Back to get us back into Beard Mode. Enjoy. Go Dodgers! 8 game winning streak coming up!

The Beard is Back!

He been away, you hung around Botherin' me every night

When I wouldn't go shave my face.

You said things that weren't very nice.

The Beard is back and you're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

When you see him comin' he'll hit a single or a double (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

You been spreadin' lies that I was unshaven (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

So look out now cause he's comin' after you (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

(And he knows that you've been tryin') (And he knows that you've been lyin')

He's been gone for such a long time (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

But now he's back and things will be fine (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

You're gonna be sorry you were ever born (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

Cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong(chin that is) (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

(And he knows about your cheatin') (And you're gonna get a beatin')

What makes you think he'd believe all your lies(about never having another beard), wahoo... wahoo...

You're a big man now, wanna cut you down to size, wahoo... wahoo... Wait and see!

The Beard is back, he's gonna save Ned's reputation (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

If I were you I'd take a permanent vacation (Hey la, hey la, The Beard is back)

(La-de-la, The Beard is back) Here he comes (La-de-la, The Beard is back)

Yeah the Beard is back (La-de-la, The Beard is back)

Look out now (La-de-la, The Beard is back)

The Beard is back (La-de-la, The Beard is back) Here he comes now- Casey Blake!
