Waino, the Cy Young, and Me — a poem by Chris Carpenter

I got this in the mail last night, and I think it's worth a post. I'll turn this over to VEB-er MikeJGolde, the responsible party:
I took apart Carpenter's (awful) article about Wainwright and reconstructed it into something more appropriate.
His work of art follows the jump:
Look at his body of work.
Just start with that.
What Adam Wainwright did this year, he did all year long.
He was consistent through the whole season.
Look at whatever number you want.
That's most important.
I've been able to do that a few times in my career.
But I've also been a guy who hasn't done it.
That's why I know how hard it is to do.
Maybe, for one year you can do it.
Possibly.
But it's a hard thing to do again and again.
That adds pressure.
That can get to young pitchers.
I could see that early on.
For me, I love the competition.
I want the ball.
I want to do my job.
A lot of times, bottom line, that's all I'm thinking.
He does that well.
He wants to be that guy.
He wants to be that pitcher.
He's already proved that.
MikeJGolde, I can't thank you (or Chris Carpenter) enough.

Twice in one day, Felonious? FOR SHAME
And, in a related story, this week marked the 5,000th performance of the Broadway musical "Cats." It also marked the 5,000th time a guy turned to his wife and said, "What the hell is this?"

Carp “allegedly” luggaged Ludwick? I can’t remember if there was a story behind the “alleged” incident. Other than, of course, that Ludwick was Suckwick at the time.

by IHeartBoog on Nov 17, 2009 3:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
don't ask why
he’ll find you.
actually, I am (well, it was delayed for a few weeks, so I’m hopefully getting back to it) reviewing things back there, and someone here at VEB repeated some hearsay about what supposedly happened.
before we heard this story, it was already turning into a meme because the luggage story was so lame.
and by the way — Ludwick was not Suckwick at the time. He did go on to win Player of the Month for the league at the time of the alleged incident. the spirit of the VEB meme
it is not linked outright in the glossary precisely because it is hearsay; with the glossary now linked from the front page, I deemed it wise to keep the origins somewhat discreet, as sports reporters are fond of distorting context (holy Man Stew, ESPN), i.e. us saying Franklin sucks.
Carp getting on Boog to shut up is a confirmed story, however.

ack. the spirit of the VEB meme...
turned it into a cause-and-effect, though of course we know that’s probably not the case.
now that more of Carp’s leadership role inside the clubhouse is known, the luggaging has stuck as a good, fast descriptor of his overall presence of badassery.

I figured.
I mostly meant that as a joke, I realize its part of the meme. I was just wondering if anyone heard whether Ludwick did something to provoke Carp.
It is all hearsay, but clearly the luggage story is not what really happened, because it’s ridiculous.

Boog's told Boog to shut up
By all accounts, Ryan matured as a player and teammate. He muzzled his chatterbox tendencies in the field because Chris Carpenter, for example, frowns on fraternizing with opponents who reach second base. It was Carpenter who later said he had never pitched with a better fielding shortstop behind him. La Russa has said Ryan’s range is among the best of shortstops he’s managed.

Cubs' Grit Revisited
I don’t know if anyone posted this victory lap post by R.J. Anderson over at Fangraphs, which shows just how bad Grit was last season for them, and just how much worse that makes his contract. My favorite quote:
Now [Miles] had a poor BABIP, walked less than normal, struck out more than normal and 2009 doesn’t seem truly representative of his talent level, but it’s on the books. That two-year, $4.9M deal is more like a two-year $9.6M deal based on the negative value accumulated.

Well done BBWAA
But why does the AL always get to go first?
I’m wondering if the fact that they gave it to Greinke when two other guys in the league had 19 wins = a greater possibility that Lincecum steals this thing on Thursday. I realize Greinke had the far better ERA, but Tiny Tim has the far better SO total.

That's one of those lines where, at this point, one can't tell if it's real or parody.
I mean, if I wanted to write a funny piece about people making Greinke’s case for Cy Young, I would probably have at least one guy making ironically cliche statements like “I’ll tell you what—that’s a gamer right there,” rather than having everybody cite WAR, FIP, etc.

by mattybobo on Nov 17, 2009 4:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I could just see that parody
Non-committal and meaningless quotes all over the place. After the gamer thing, you get a Don Zimmer like coach to say “Every five days, he wants that ball, and he’s a fierce competitor.” A college pitching coach helpfully offers “He never liked losing when he played here at Southwest Northern Methodist Calvary Baptist University. He went out there and pitched like he wanted to win every game.”
They gloss over the win/loss/K totals and talk about the little things he does to try to win games, like that one time in interleague play when with one out and two on in a game that he was up 9-1 in the 4th, he laid down a perfect sac bunt. Granted the next guy flied out, but you could imagine what could have happened. Next we find out Greinke played Pop Warner and once actually punted a ball 45+ yards, causing sportswriters across the country to climax in unison. He plays pick up games of basketball at church, where he always picks Lenny, the one-armed kid with down syndrome, and Zach and Lenny beat all challengers in games of 2 on 2.
Sprinkle in some quotes about grit, and playing injured, and 110%, and some sappy music with at least one cut over inexplicably to Bob Costas giving his opinion on Greinke for some reason that never becomes clear, and you’ve got yourself and ESPN special on Zach Greinke: Hero of the Diamond.

I can’t remember the exact way this got into in the conversation, but at one point apparently the topic of the kitchen being staffed only by men came up. The chef made the comment, “there is no place for frivolity in the kitchen; I have no need for women.”

I get it sorta
I definitely get sororities…girls are staggeringly cliqueish and standoffish, you don’t have to sodomize a goat or whatever to get “in” like a frat and girls are still allowed to still be friends with people outside their sorority.
For guys though, these days unless you’re in a situation where you just can’t meet people (which do exist) I don’t really get it.

I went to Mizzou when Phi MU first started
It was definetly the ugly girl sorority at first. Still plenty of good looking girls though. I literally think I went to every single Phi Mu sorority formal event while I was in college. The way I met girls in college was by telling girls in sororities that I owned my own tux. So I would go to any formal event with anyone. So if anyone couldn’t find a date or someone backed out at the last second I would go. Most of these events had great food. Easily the best idea of my life to buy my own tux and tell random sorority girls to put me in their phone as “tux guy”. I probably went to over 50 sorority events during college.

My best friend is a guy I can tell him anything and he won’t judge me for it. But I have plenty of girl friends that I go out with. When I normally go out to bars it is with girls. I like to drink and go dancing. Girls normally enjoy a guy they are friends with they can go dancing with. I just happen to be that guy.

Ask the owners of the St. Louis Spirits
But the owners of the Spirits, the brothers Ozzie and Dan Silna, struck a prescient deal to acquire future television money from the teams that joined the NBA, a one-seventh share from each franchise, in perpetuity. With network TV deals becoming more and more lucrative, the deal has made the Silnas wealthy, earning them $168 million as of July 2006, according to a Los Angeles Times report. (The NBA nearly succeeded in buying out the Silnas in 1982 by offering $5 million over eight years, but negotiations floundered when the siblings demanded $8 million over five.) The current TV deal gives the Silnas $14.57 million a season; on June 27, 2007, it was extended for another eight years, ensuring another $100 million-plus windfall for the former Spirits owners.
The Spirits folded in 1969.

But it’s not that hard for BigHead to take control. To the point where I can dance/grind with/on them without there really being anything sexual there. They are fun to hang out with but at the same time a relationship would never work given different personalities, thus neither side wants to in any way push it further.

I hate this assertion
because it’s total bullshit. I have many platonic women friends and have never found it awkward in a romantic way — I simply don’t feel that way about them, and they don’t feel that way about me. Having a lot of women friends is also a great way to meet amazing women you’re attracted to from what I’ve found.
Statements like this are also an indirect cause of homophobia — because so many guys think they can’t be friends with a homosexual male without them wanting to be linked romantically. It’s really, really ridiculous and masochistic to think that way, yet I know it happens because I’ve had people comment on it at one time or another.

Apparently they don't understand the statistics all that well
if he’s pitching to “fly balls” considering that a lot of fly balls go over the fence. If you’re Zack Greinke, you’re probably not going to give up 3 ground ball base hits in a row without recording a strikeout or a ball hit at somebody and I’ve never seen a ground ball leave the ballpark.

sometimes I wonder if the man stew was real
then I read quotes like this, from July 1 (Razmun’s walk-off and another wasted Wainwright start…)
But just how can the struggling Cardinals offense settle down and take better at-bats at the plate so that a nine-inning, one-run performance by their starter won’t leave him with a no-decision again?
“Maybe have a pool party in our whirlpool about 5 o’clock and let them drink some iced tea and bring in a comedian and make them laugh,” La Russa said. “Because they are just pressing. That’s all it is. They’ll be all right.”

The luggage thing
stemmed from Ludwick showing up to a game with a black eye and a scrape on his face. He claimed to have tripped over his luggage.
A few days after that game, a commenter claimed that a buddy of his had inside knowledge that Carp gave Ludwick the black eye. Following internet meme protocol, it followed that Carp “luggaged” Ludwick.
As for the Boog shutting up thing, I don’t know.
