A Drew Storen 'socks watch' update

Thanks to this twit pic from Pam Storen (Who I will go out on an incredible limb on and say is related to Drew), I can confirm the status of those damn fine socks of Drew's. Ladies and Gentlemen...



THEY LIVE!! Sweet baby Jesus in heaven! This has brought a huge smile to my face, and I know it did to you as well. Again, many thanks to Pam Storen, and her Twitter feed for the pic.

Oh, and a quick update on Drew's debut in Potomac... He got the save by pitching two innings and allowing 0 runs. He struck out the side in the 8th inning (but of course), and got two ground balls to retire the side in the 9th (first batter singled, second hit into a 4-6-3 DP).

Keep this up, and you may just earn yourself a nickname, Mr. Storen. (We can't call him 'Socks' though, cause that was a cat from the White House, I believe. How about... 'Stockings', 'Hoser', or 'Incredible Man With the Amazing Leg Coverings'?)

Definitely not "Hoser" that makes him sound like a dufous...doofus...whatever.

I think the bigger news from the pstoren twitter feed is the sad news about the Taco Bell Dog.

Maybe the nickname could focus more on the pants than the socks. How about callin' him capris?

oh yeah, you forget to do this part..."and point out all the cool shit about him" you already pointed out the socks, but there is more, right? that's not the only cool thing?

"glad you all like the socks."

Drew Storen... come for the socks, stay for the annihilation of the opponents. (But also to keep looking at the socks.)

How about "Stocks"? play on his name and the socks. Can also mean what you should invest in when he's pitching, especially as a reliever. "Man, did you think the same thing I did when Storen came in to protect the lead in the eighth? I saw the socks and wanted to buy stocks."

Seems obvious to me. 22 Ks in his last 11 innings with one hit and no walks.
