Vance "Milton" Worley*

Vance “Milton” Worley*

Vance Worley became internet famous last week when a whole mess of bloggers realized that in addition to his stylish goggles, he also had a 2.02 ERA. Normally after an unheralded player is heaped with praise, he retreats to his expected levels, allowing all the heralding to go for naught. That is not Vance Worley’s way.

Instead, Worley pitched his first career complete game, a three-hitter at that, against the Giants, limiting them to two runs and keeping his ERA at a steady 2.02. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if somehow Worley kept this run up for the rest of the year and stole enough votes from Roy Halladay that someone like Ryan Vogelsong or Jeff Karstens is given the Cy Young?

And by hilarious I mean, something that will upset the delicate balance that keeps baseball fans to not storm the streets and beat people to death with their own limbs.

*While trying to avoid a Worleybird reference, I stretched the title to include one to Milton Berle. I regret nothing.
