Anyway, it has been brought to my attention by my sources (which I will not reveal, as they expressed anonymity since they were not authorized to talk to the media) that when Drew is called up to DC, he might (brace yourselves) give up the SOCKS of DOOM!! Seriously, Drew... you're a smart kid (you went to Stanford). What could possibly motivate you to go sockless?? So here it is. My argument as to why the SOCKS of DOOM! must remain.
And a never before published (on my blog, anyway) pic:
(All pictures are from pstoren's Twitter feed. Many, many thanks for putting these pics out there, btw.)
As you can see, that shit is just bad ass. We're talking ass-kicking proportions of bad assitude here. Not only do they visually kick ass though, they physically kick ass, as well. Check out Drew's stats for this year in pro ball while wearing the socks that are the killerness.
His record is 1-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 25 Games. In 33.2 IP he's given up only 20 hits, 8 runs, and 8 BB (.843 WHIP), while striking out 44. He is 9 for 9 in save opportunities and opposing batters are hitting .168 against him.
Now... when I was lucky enough to get put into my little league games (and the rules were that the coach had to play me, no matter how badly I sucked), and I had something go right (like... no balls hit my way), I never did anything to alter what I was wearing/did/didn't do/etc., while I was out there. If I had some kick ass socks, I would continue to wear said kick ass socks. Now, I'm not sure, but I think it's some kind of global baseball rule all around the universe to a) Never fuck with a positive flow, b) root for the home team (unless you're in Pittsburgh. Then you can root for anyone you choose :cough: Nats :Cough:), and c) Continue the Goddamn SOCKS of Goddamn DOOM!.
Allow me to show just how bad Drew would look without socks.
Remember this?
Would you prefer that look, or this?
It's not even close. Socked Drew destroys sockless Drew. And I'm talking by a landslide here. Just murdered. This is the most one-sided victory since the hare beat the rabbit. (Wait... I fucked that up... didn't I?) I mean, he's looking like a soup sandwich there.
And finally (I swear) Drew posted on his Twitter feed a picture of his new glove.
Yeah, like that wouldn't look just fucking devastatingly good with a Nats home uniform! I can just imagine it now...
With that, I leave it all up to you, my 6 readers. It's time for my 2nd ever poll. Please vote on the top right of the page whether you prefer socked Drew, or sockless Drew. I have it on good authority that this vote's outcome will actually dictate what Drew decides to do.*
*It absolutely does not have anything to do with what Drew will do. Unless I perfect The Force. Which I've never even taken an introductory lesson in, so I doubt I'll be able to master it.
/These are the socks you're going to wear.

A big yes on the socks for me! [And I've seen them for years.] I know the sister would vote yes, too.
This is hilarious really! I have told him for years that real baseball players wear their pants up with their socks showing! I'm glad I'm not alone on this one!
Who the hell voted sockless?? Sacrilege!
PS. Dude - my days of funemployment lasted all of a week. *sigh* I got a job...so you don't have to hate me anymore. :)
Seriously... block the IPs of anyone who voted against the socks. They're just trolling.
The Storen family has spoken. If Drew decides to go sockless, it appears he will be grounded on all his visits back home.
(Thanks for the feedback Pam and Lindsay. Give him a wet willy for me.)
The Socks must continue, or the world as we know it will come to a crashing halt, and the communists will have won.
