Personally I have to rebut what Grant said.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

BMoney is hurting a little. Keep on keeping on “Skates”, good to see Velez again. Time for Bowker to taste the Cove and hopefully the time off has helped Castillo.

Zito's run support, or lack thereof

Kruk and Kuip are complaining about Zito’s 2.10 run support average. Yes, that’s not been good, but neither has Zito’s 5.61 ERA and 1.79 Whip, plus 12 walks to only 10 k’s. So, it’s fairly obvious that his 0-5 record is more due to Zito’s general support of the other team’s offense more than his own team’s lack of support for him.

Bonds stands alone.

yeah, the run support hasn’t been great, but the W-L record is not exactly the problem with Zito.

Frankly, someone like Cain can really be talked about for lack of run support. He gives up a run, and we can’t even give him two.

dude

for real though, it’s time. we can’t waste any more games on barry zito. i understand the contract. but when it comes down to it sabean MUST do what is good for the team. he has no choice to cut Zito. he’s untradeable and if not cut now, will lose every game this season. with the giants offense he has no chance simply because the best he can do is give up 3 or 4 runs in a 6 inning start, but in most cases . . . he just gets lit up. he’s done.

7-0, 10-0, 99-0

doesn’t matter.
Volquez had limited his last 4 opponents to 1 run or less…so this game was probably over before the 2nd out was recorded.

Let Zito throw until his arm falls off. it’d be good for the bullpen, good for the team.

He should be...

666. Will the league allow that? I couldn’t think of a number that means “patsy.”

i missed the first few innings

did Zito get booed off the mound?

After the first inning there were some boos as the team walked off. I think some were for the poor defense.

Pat Misch

Just up from Fresno, throws a 1-2-3 inning. Showing the $126 million man how it’s done.

I actually enjoy Bocock at bats….because it lets me think “This is exactly what it would be like if I was suddenly hitting for a major league team”

The Albatross

What should SF do with Zito?

1. Cut him
2. DFA
3. Start him
4. Move to bullpen
5. Skip a start or two
6. Find him a slumpbuster

by wilriv21 on Apr 27, 2008 2:27 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

My best vote is for skip a start

but we already have two starters on the DL

I actually think his starts could be bearable, if viewed from a comedic standpoint.

Maybe play the Benny Hill theme instead of having Kruk and Kuip call his starts.
