Hawkman No Longer?

[Fman99]

According to MLB.com Mets' beat man Anthony DiSomethingItalian, Jon Niese had that Toucan Sam beak of his shaved down a tick.

Apparently, he can breathe better now and is in noticeably better shape.

But will it make him pitch any better?

Jon Niese had nose job. Said Beltran offered to pay. Says positive byproduct breathing easier

This may seem obvious, but if Beltran is talking about paying for plastic surgery....

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He's still got a deceptive hook.

Hey, nose jobs are no big deal, half my graduating class in high school had them. Of course I'm from Long Island so ...

I hope his career doesn't take a nose dive like Jennifer Grey's did after she had her's "fixed".


looks good though.

I wonder how that conversation comes about. I'm sure Neise got a ribbing over that nose.

Niese was the one that had the rapid heart rate last year right? could be nice that he's breathing better..

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Plus, with his new Errol Flynn honker, he'll be setting approximately 10 percent of opponents' hearts aflutter. Win win.

I'm a little concerned about Niese.
I remember when singer Dionne Warwick had dental work done to close up the gap between her two front teeth.
She never had another hit record.

any other careers take a nosedive after cosmetic surgery?

I kinda like Joe Petruccio's Niese drawing today:

Well, the Dionne thing couldn't be less true. Her most successful period came after the most gorgeous set of caps were affixed to her chompers.
