08:19 AM ET 09.04 | Of course, rediscovering their knack for hitting in the clutch had something to do with Chicago's regaining of first place in the AL Central on Monday, but the club had some fun along the way. From mustaches to Hector Santiago's first major league start, a new look didn't hurt the White Sox's bid to change their fortunes. ... After getting swept in Detroit over the weekend and posting 1-6 record on their recent trip, several Sox players took batting practice with the knowledge they could snap a first-place tie with the Tigers with a victory. And some of them trimmed their facial hair after the sweep by the Tigers at the suggestion of Kevin Youkilis, several players said.

What they failed to mention is that this terrible trend was started by the Tigers' Delmon Young.

Is that why when I go to U.S. Cellular I see so many chicks sportin' 'staches?

Don't confuse Chicago with Philly.

tigers can't compete with this type of a hesitation team, if the tigers are really in for the division pennant then they would be more serious about the competition!!!

The Tigers sure know how to beat the Sox, but then lose to everyone else

Youkilis: You see, guys, what we used to do when we were slumping back in beantown is we'd all shave our facial hair down to mustaches and then spend the afternoon giving each other free mustache rides. It didn't get us out of the slump, but it sure was fabulous.
