Old Time Family Baseball

Brendan Ryan: 30 OPS+, but his socks make him look so fucking slick, no one notices. They just assume he’s playing great.

Skip Schumaker: He’s a schumaker and sock wearer. Terrible joke. I know. Just go with it, okay? He’s been slumping this year, so he pulls on the old time socks and goes 2-for-3 with 2 BB’s. Is it luck or is it something else?

Brad Penny: 3-0 0.94 ERA. Most people will claim that it’s pitching coach Dave Duncan’s teaching that has returned Penny to an elite starter. But that seems awfully convenient. Doesn’t it make more sense that it has something to do with striped socks?

I’m just waiting for the day that Project Runway tackles baseball uniforms because there is nothing more beautiful than these retro Cardinals duds.
