Hey kids, this is important. We all know that the Padres played great ball in May, finishing the month tied for first. Certainly we can all agree after closing the month with the best comeback of the year, that all this success is due to matto619's beard. No question about it. Germano the new kid looking like Cy Young? Attributed to the beard. Kouz raising his average 120 points? We can thank matto619 for that. Peavey going filthy on everyone who even looks at him? All beard.

So here's where you come in. Matto619 claims he's going to shave it off. Now we all believe in the power of the beard, so let's make sure he knows he can't shave.

Don't be selfish, matto619. The Padres and the gaslampball family are counting on you. Throw out your razor. Leave the beard alone.
