PrintQuick question, and I'm trying not to be snarky about it:
Is Barry Zito the most untradeable player in the history of professional sports? I'm probably missing someone like "Gypsy Curse" Jenkins from the 1889 Superbas, but it seems likely that Zito has a good case.

I think
the most untradable player would be Jason Jennings… He sucks and is injury prone… but then again.. Jennings isn’t making ~18 million this season… so maybe you’re right.
Just stopping by to say hi!
Go 'Stros!
Looking for a solid performance by Zito today
Hold the Astros at bay and Giants tattoo Roy Oswalt.
Meanwhile, down on the farm Big V goes yard today and Bummy has another fine pitching performance.
I'm not sure if he's the most untradeable in history
But he’s probably the most untradeable now. Giambi may have been extremely untradeable a couple of years ago.
Zito’s performance over the past season-plus has not warranted the current annual rates, let alone the escalating rates of the future.
But I’m always hoping to be proven wrong. Prove me wrong, Zito!
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
I don’t even know if it qualifies as optimism. Desperation, maybe?
And we are gonna get crushed. Embarrassingly so.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Guy on the "fantasy focus" baseball show
took Zito over Dave Bush tonight because “he’s at home”. Actually a disadvantage.
Barry Zito,
and I’m being 1000% serious here, will go down as the worst free agent signing in the history of professional sports. Some of it isn’t his fault- this team is terrible, which makes his record look worse and yada yada, but he is also not very good any more.
I defy one of you to find a signing that is worse than this one. Granted, it’s only 1 1/5 years into it, but when you take into account the money he’s been paid, it’s pretty terrible.
ing that is worse than this one. Granted, it’s only 1 1/5 years into it, but
I nominate this for understatement of the day.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Crap - bungled the quote
Should be:
but when you take into account the money he’s been paid, it’s pretty terrible.

Omar Comment:
Yesterday at the game I couldn’t help but notice that he was throwing rainbows over to 1b, and nearly didn’t get the throw there in time on a GB up the middle because his throw was so soft.
Has my perception just been altered by the human sniper rifle know as Bocock, or has Omar lost something?
Eugeniooooooo!!!!

manny’s hose out of that conversation. that throw he made from the hole this weekend was dirty. he may have a better arm than bocock

I think you mean Napoleon McCallum:
In the Raiders’ opening game of the 1994 season, a September 5 date on Monday Night Football at the San Francisco 49ers, McCallum’s career would be ended prematurely when 49ers linebacker Ken Norton Jr. twisted him to the ground. McCallum’s cleat stuck in the ground, forcing his knee into a horrible dislocation. Norton lay pinned underneath a motionless McCallum for a couple of minutes while trainers attended to McCallum.McCallum suffered a complete hyperextension of his left knee, almost to a right angle. He suffered a ruptured artery in his left knee, and tore three ligaments, tore the calf and hamstring from the bone, and suffered nerve damage in the knee.
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.
I thought Pacman would be impossible
But, leave it to Jerry Jones to take anyone.

New rule
Once you get to two strikes, a batter is only allowed to foul off two pitches. Foul off a third one, and it’s automatic strike three. This would help the Giants immensely, since they already bat and pitch as if this rule was in effect.
That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!
In my softball league...
We start off with a 1-1 count and we only get to foul off one pitch after strike two. See, I’m actually being very generous!
That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!
I thought he was going to tell us stories about how he invented the cotton gin.

My grandmother still calls the movies “the picture show.” It’s a crackup.

Ugh seriously. That movie looks like LSD: The Film.
I want to see Iron Man this weekend. And then immediately sleep with Robert Downey Jr.

Speed Racer was alright. Too much exposition at the beginning, not enough racing action. Kids seem to love it though. Of course, Iron Man was teh awesum.
Kids seem to like loud colorful seizure inducing crap, tho.

Nah,
he’s been really good, considering his previous performances. And the ‘stros do have a decent lineup
Hey , he does that for a living.
Maybe he’s figured it out.

Luckily
He kept the first two innings low. 53 through 3 is about average for a Giants pitcher these days.
