A few months back, the big headline was that the World Series will be starting on a Wednesday. But that missed the real story- the pitching rotation shuffle caused by the extra off days.

Matt Cain doesn't get much hype, as he's 6-13 on a last place team. But what Cain has accomplished by the age of 22 is quite impressive, and puts him in some pretty elite company.
