Matt Cain Facts

It's time to carry on that interwebs tradition, going strong lo these three years, of creating a list of facts about a favored figure. It all started with Chuck Norris Facts, and has since moved into the baseball world with Lastings Milledge Facts and Cole Hamels Facts.

After reading Grant's post and the responses projecting Matt Cain's production for this year, I think it's time for Matt Cain Facts. I'll start.

1) Matt Cain doesn't change speeds; the space-time continuum adjusts around his pitches.

This FanPost is reader-generated, and it does not necessarily reflect the views of McCovey Chronicles. If the author uses filler to achieve the minimum word requirement, a moderator may edit the FanPost for his or her own amusement.

Matt Cain has a negative ERA, other teams offer sacrificial runs to appease his holiness.

Matt Cain pitched high school ball in the same time frame and in nearly the same place as Marc Gasol. Marc is the brother of 2002 NBA Rookie of the Year Pau Gasol, played for the Spanish national team that recently won the World Championship, and according to Bob Fitzgerald on the Warriors telecast about a week ago will be eligible for the 2007 NBA draft.

My prediction:  Although right at 7-feet, Marc won't come NEARLY as close to winning the Rookie of the Year Award as not only his brother who did, but as Matt himself did with a sparkling final three-quarters of his 2006 rookie year.

Re: Matt Cain Facts
1 After this Matt Cain went to the other side of the AT&T Park, also called Pac Bell and SBC. 2 A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs that he was doing to the hitters. 3 Matt Cain went up the mound and sat down there with his teammates. 4 Now the playoffs, the festival of the fans, was near. 5 When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming gathering in their seats, Matt Cain said to Omar, "Where are we to buy garlic fries for these people to eat?" 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. 7 Omar answered him, "Six months' wages would not buy enough garlic fries for each of them to get a little." 8 One of his teammates, Tim, Todd's brother, said to him, 9 "There is a boy here who has five orders of garlic fries and two polish dogs. But what are they among so many people?" 10 Matt Cain said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was a great deal of seats in the park; so they sat down, about fort-five thousand in all. 11 Then Matt Cain took the garlic fries, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the polish dogs, as much as they wanted. 12 When they were satisfied, he told his teammates, "Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost." 13 So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five orders of garlic fries, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, "This is indeed the prospect who is to come into the world." 15 When Matt Cain realized that they were about to come and to make him Cy Young, he struck out the side on nine pitches.

John records the above incident as well, and then follows with this telling conversation:

 13 When Matt came into the region of the Bay Area, He asked the McCoven, saying, "Who do men say that I am?"

 14 And they said, "Some say that Thou art Sandy the Koufax, some Gibson, and others Clemens or one of the Texas phenoms."  

 15 He said unto them, "But who say ye that I am?"

 16 And Grant answered and said, "Thou art the Saviour, the son of Juan Marichal."

 17 And Matt answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou, Grant McChronicle, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but diehard prospect mavens who art in Heaven now that I'm in the Major Leagues."

Re: Matt Cain Facts
#69 The only reason Matt Cain doesn't strike out every batter on three straight pitches is out of respect for those that believe only God is infallible.

When Matt Cain quips "that's what she said" it is actually funny and people genuinely laugh.

Some pitchers have life on their fastballs; Matt Cain has everlasting life on his fastballs.

Re: Matt Cain Facts
Fact: Matt Cain wasn't allowed to have a dog growing up because of the "fetch" incident.

Fact: Before he was born, Matt Cain would punch through his mother's abdominal wall to watch Giants games.  Afterward, he would climb back in and stitch up the wound himself.

Re: Matt Cain Facts
Fact: Matt Cain typicaly gives up five runs during his first spring training start, just to make MLB hitters think they actually have a chance the rest of the year.

Unfortunately, such a performance
also makes Sabean want to invoke the 72-hour "I-bought-a-lemon" clause in Cain's new contract.

Re: Unfortunately, such a performance
Fact: an intentional move by Cain, who realized he was being grossly underappreciated.

Fact: in his first start after the lemon clause was invoked, nullifying the new contract, Matt Cain struck out the first two batters, then struck out each of the next three with a pitch so hard the catcher droppd it. Loading the bases thusly, Matt Cain prepared himself some garlic fries, and proceeded to throw 3 straight 173 MPH slurveballs that just caught the plate at the knees. Inning over.

I suggest you re-calibrate your radar gun
The pitch may have started at the knees as it crossed the plate, but it finished up at the letters defying Newton's law of gravity, but obeying Cain's law of anti-gravity. As a result the gun read 50% slow.

"King of the Hill" is synonymous with "Ace of the Mound". Coincidence?

Re: Matt Cain Facts
    * "Bill Brasky is the father of every kid in this town!"
    * "His poop is considered currency in Argentina."
    * "I once saw him scissor-kick Angela Lansbury."
    * "Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Brasky takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half -- until sure enough, someone constructs a bar around us. Well, the day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found 'em!'"
    * "He once punched a hole in a cow just to see who was coming up the road."
    * "He hated Mexicans! And he was half-Mexican! ...And he hated irony!"
    * "The story of Johnny Appleseed is based on Brasky... except for the part about planting apple trees... and not raping men."
    * "He did all the makeup on the Planet of the Apes movies."
    * "He drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls."
    * "He orchestrated the merger between UNICEF and Smith & Wesson."
    * "Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Brasky decides he's going to hunt down all four of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives...except Fleegle."
    * "We once had a bachelor party for Brasky. He ate the entire cake before we could tell him there was a stripper in it."
    * "Brasky's family crest is a picture of a barracuda eating Neil Armstrong."
    * "Brasky named the group Sha Na Na. They did not want to be called that."
    * "If you drop a phonograph needle on Brasky's nipple, it plays the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds."
    * "Did I ever tell you about the time he taught his son how to drive? He did it by entering him in the Indy 500. The kid wrecked and died. Brasky said it would've happened sometime."
    * "He breastfeeds John Madden!"
    * "He killed Wolfman Jack with a trident."
    * "Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky and I were in a production of The King and I? Anyway, on opening night, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews."
    * "He sleeps eight hours a night! Well, he was pretty normal when it came to that."
