Somebody ought to call OUT! White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski for that glowing bleach-blond 'do he's wearing at the Dome this week.

And that somebody clearly will not be the person who's been telling that boy he's sexy.

But whose audience is Peroxide Pierzynski trying to appeal to with this look: Brad Pitt's or Dennis the Menace's?

I sent word Wednesday that I'd love to hear Pierzynski's thinking before he went under the bottle. Maybe this was an accident. (Note to A.J.: Yes I did get the unprintable 2005 message you sent expressing displeasure that I wrote about that Web photo of you doing Jell-O shots at a bar with three blond babes.)

Since I haven't been impressed with Pierzynski's behavior since the Jell-O shot photos, I'm the wrong person to give an opinion on this ridiculous new look.
