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.

Fact: Despite pinpoint control and a blazing fastball, Russ Ortiz pretended to be toast for two full years in order to regain a spot among his beloved Giants!

Each pitcher's best heat is to be inserted in opposite ends of their Accelerator, and the inevitable high-speed collision should, in theory, create the new radioactive element LinceCainium.

- Matt Cain doesn't actually throw fastballs. Baseballs are just too afraid of him and want to get the hell away from him as fast as possible.
- The Giants didn't sign Matt Cain to four-year deal. Matt Cain signed the Giants to a four-year deal.

Chuck Norris doesn't just teabag somebody, he potato sacks 'em.
16. Matt Cain doesn't just potato sack somebody, his wrecking balls demolish their face.

Re: Matt Cain Facts
There is no such thing as a "pitching" mound, it was created as a gift from God to Matt. Home plate is the sacrificial altar. All ballparks have built these altars to worship his "Cain-liness".
Matt Cain has a negative ERA, other teams offer sacrificial runs to appease his holiness.
p.s. Avogdaro's joke was bomb. Just took a chemistry final.

Re: Matt Cain Facts
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
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."

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.

Unfortunately, such a performance
Re: Unfortunately, such a performance
Re: Unfortunately, such a performance
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.

* "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."
