“FP doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy to throw another dude under the bus”

I think you forgot his distrain for steroids users prior to admitting “he made a mistake”

FP in the morning… I think I’ll pass. But thanks for the info. - Yikes, FP every weekday morning, seriously? No joke?

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think Barry Zito owes me, FP Santangelo or early morning radio listeners anything. The Giants pay him to pitch and to figure out what the hell he can do to turn things around – doing a sit down with FP Santangelo accomplishes neither of those, so I couldn’t care less.

You can make the argument that he’s also being paid to be a community pillar and the face of the franchise, but unless he’s pitching well, all of that other stuff is just bullshit fluff. Focus on getting better and then worry about showing up for a radio interview.

is not a douche. he’s a bro, but not a douche.

FP Santangelo is a douche. He shouldn’t get paid any amount of money for doing anything.

when did zito earn first-name basis? I hear Barry I think 25, not 126000000

would you want to talk to FP?

I can’t get angry at anyone for not wanting to talk to FP Santangelo.

I assume one of you is responsible for this.

Following the release of the Mitchell Report in which he was named by Kirk Radomski as having used Deca-Durabolin, HGH, and testosterone, Santangelo confirmed he abused HGH on two occasions in 1997 and 2000 to rehab from a quadracep and knee injury but denied the other allegations, including telling teammate Adam Piatt that Radomski “will get you what you need.” [1] FP has been seen dancing around the san francisco streets sporting a short skirt and tights singing little mermaid tunes.

Barry Zito has been about as stand up as I can imagine any player being regarding his (lack of) performance, especially when you consider all the national press attention he’s received. I’ve been pretty amazed at how brutally honest he’s been about himself, even admitting of trying to live up to the contract and having problems between his ears.

Pretty refreshing in a world where surly athletes say “no comment” when things aren’t going their way.

it doesn’t appear that he’s run away from the press. I suspect he probably just thought the last thing in the world he’d need after a rough start would be spending an hour with FP listening to stories from when he played the game.
