It would be wrong if Hot Clicks didn't lead with a mention of Derek Holland's gem in Game 4 of the World Series last night. The Rangers' lefty allowed just two hits and no runs while striking out seven over 8 1/3 innings as Texas tied its series with St. Louis at 2-2. It would be even more wrong if Hot Clicks didn't acknowledge Holland's funky mustache. And in keeping with this hair theme, here's what Holland said after his memorable performance: "When I came off the field, arm hairs are sticking up. It's not like I have much, but man, it was tingly." If you follow Holland on Twitter, you wouldn't be surprised by funny quotes like this. His Twitter name is "DutchOven45" and his avatar features Holland picking his nose.
