Secret Cain Theory

I can only think of one logical reason for Cain's "hard luck."  It's gone way farther than just hard luck now.  

So what I figure is Cain has to be some HUGE dick behind the scenes, and the Giants hitters truly hate him and refuse to score a damn run for him.

Can't be true can it?  I refuse to believe the man saying,  "that a baby!" could be a dick.

Any other theories

hmm...

well earlier in the season, i remember reading something on SFGate about how Cain “took out his frustrations on his girlfriend” or something like that. The next day when I told a friend about it, it was gone, though you could still bring it up on a Google search. Did anybody else notice that, or am I actually crazy?

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

by jponry on Apr 25, 2008 3:00 AM PDT up reply actions  

man, this took some digging

Cain stoically stood up after each good, but wasted start and insisted he was not distressed by his own fate. Teammates praised Cain’s maturity in handling it, too. Before spring training, however, Cain confessed that he did blow off steam, just not at the ballpark.

“I remember having conversations with my girlfriend and my mom and probably losing it and being upset with situations that happened,” he said. “That was kind of my way of getting it over with and moving on. I was upset about the way our season was going.”

The blowups could not have been that bad. Cain still has the same girlfriend, “and hopefully it doesn’t happen again this year. No matter what my run support was last year, we’ve got to go up from there, and I feel this is a group of guys who are going to be able to do that.”

It’s no smoking gun like that piece of shit Brett Myers punching his wife on a street corner in Boston. We’ll probably never know exactly what this was all about. I’ll just take it as Cain yelling about stuff, yelling TO the people in his life, not AT them. As someone who yells frequently about her shitty life to friends and loved ones, they all know I’m not yelling at them.

Seems to me like he was venting. Can’t blame him. If I threw that well I would need to vent, too, and you don’t want to blow up around your teammates less they think you’re upset at them personally, when you’re just upset about the situation.

Right. And venting to an SO can have favorable outcomes. “Cheer up” relations and that. Unless Matt wants to sleep with his teammates too…

Another Scrubs reference that never fails to crack me up is when JD imagines what it’s like inside Turk’s head. In his head is his wife Carla who is hitting on the hospital’s hot female psychiatrist. The psych goes, “wait, you’re not a lesbian.” Carla admits reluctantly that inside Turk’s head she is. The pysch then agrees that she is also a lesbian and they go to make out.

Yes, by a few friends and my sister no less. Partly because the main character is so stereotypically feminine and party because they just don’t like the show. I mean, JD drinks appletinis and completely accepts being called girls names, I guess the ribbing is somewhat deserved since I think his character is awesome.

Also, we all talk a lot of shit to each other, so any opportunity is seized.

To be fair JD didn’t get stupidly girly until later on in the series. He wasn’t exactly a man’s man early on, but he miraculously grew female parts in later seasons. That will always be an annoyance to me.

I don’t know if Zach Braff could ever play a man’s man, but it would be funny to watch him try. Interestingly, I really only picked up on Scrubs when they were already a few seasons in (Comedy Central was running repeats from 7-8 and WGN from 8-9 so I didn’t get to choose my starting point), so my first exposure to his character was of the female variety. His character always seems weird when I see the first couple of seasons. I guess it’s just what you’re familiar with.

That Cox tirelessly called JD “girl’s name” in the first seasons was funny (to me anyway), but when he actually got really girly it became less funny.

I used to love Scrubs, particularly the first three seasons, maybe a bit of season four. But the past couple years have gotten so bad and pretty darned aggravating. And JD got WAAAAY too girly, it became too much of a schtick for me. But they still have occasional episodes that are pretty darn entertaining, it’s just not nearly as good.

So I understand Scrubs is moving to ABC or CBS next year. Any word on if Zach Braff or Sarah Chalke will be going with it? Or will it end up like ER, with an entirely new cast?

As far as I have heard all the cast is returning. It hasn’t “officially” been announced that the show is moving to ABC, but it’s all but certain that it is moving.

It looks like Bobbo might be out. I am so saddened by this. Kelso and Janitor are my favorite characters. They constantly bring the funny.

Bob Kelso is definitely the Comedy Assassin. If he can kill you with a laugh, he’ll do it.

Cain Non-Support

This is a subject I’ve personally wondered about. However, aren’t you doing Matt a great disservice by speculating
(no real evidence) publicly about his temperment in his personal life based on hearsay? The man has pitched
his guts out for this organization and their fans and doesn’t deserve to be gossiped about. If the team or some of his teammates have an issue with him they can work it out behind the doors of the clubhouse and move on. You are way out of line to even bring it up IMHO.

by lettinitfly on Apr 25, 2008 8:13 AM PDT reply actions  

I agree, there’s absolutely no reason to suspect this whatsoever. He’s just unlucky and he plays on a bad team. That’s all.

as for what I posted, it was just poking fun at what I see as a very crazy situation. It astounds me that he could have that kind of hard luck. There is no way I would speculate about anything truly negative about Matt Cain.

Maybe they’re all just jealous of his otherworldly skills? You’d think they’d also leave Tim out in the cold because of his own alien cyborg powers, but they know Tim is a ninja and he would fuck their shit up.

Not only would he fuck their shit up, but he would use his cyborg mind control powers to make them score just enough runs to win…maybe Timmy is using his innate cyborg mind control powers to make sure Cain is held back so Timmy can be THE MAN…humm….

Great now we have to get Professor X in here to put limits on Tim’s mind control powers before he goes all Phoenix on us.

Mark of Cain

Look people, it’s right there in Genesis. Matty, after apparently doing something awful in the Minors, is now the target of divine retribution. “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the field of play, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the mound, it will no longer yield its wins for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”
