Zito vs. Andres Galarraga. Hmm....nope, gotta bet on the Big Cat just because he'll hit four homers off of Zito from the ninth spot.
Wait, this is Armando Galarraga? An actual pitcher? Oh, then we're absolutely screwed.

I loved Galarraga. Needed oxygen after each hit.
AnVil = Galarraga.

Villalona’s not a fat load. He’s just pleasantly plump. Or large and in charge.

Are you saying Galaragga was a fat load? Now hold it justy a minute. On his last stint with the Giants he was forty-frickin’-two. I always thought Galaragga was a pretty remarkable athlete, especially for such a big dude.
I heart the Big Cat and always will.

Andres isn’t a fat load either. I loved Big Cat as well. I just ran with the fat load needing an oxygen mask when running around the bases.

I'm ambivalent about Zito starts
but, the more he sucks, the more it makes Sabean look like a retard (as if he needs the help) and the more that happens, the likelihood of him getting fired increases, which means the Giants will have a good GM who will accelerate the return to glory sooner than Sabean will.
So as you can see, Zito sucking and getting bombed is actually in the best interests of the Giants…

Zito just needs to be more aggressive early in the count. He’s not executing right now, and he’s just gotta find his game.

Depends on how you mean “out” when referring to Zito. By “out” there pitching than it is sadder that Zito is out for the remainder of the year.

Barry Zito is just being a team leader. By going out there and sucking this much, he’s saying “Hey Pat Misch, you’re not the worst starting pitcher on the Giants!”
He’s a great teammate.
If you like things that are funny, perhaps you will enjoy ChatterBalks Dot Com?
The worst thing about the Zito signing...
~ It’s not the millions and millions of $$ flushed down the toilet.
~ It’s not the seven years of repeated automatic losses every time he pitches.
It’s that his contract is going to make it nigh on impossible for the Giants to sign Lincecum, Cain and Sanchez to long-term contracts. They will ask for (and richly deserve) more money than Zito is getting and the Giants won’t be able to pay it.
That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!
la la la la la
not listening!
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.

Not really
Even assuming that salaries in general don’t go up over the next few years, the Giants have shown a definite willingness to backload contracts. By the time we’re signing Cain or Lincecum or Sanchez long term, it’ll be several years from now since they’ll be past their arbitration years and we can just defer the money to later.
And let’s not assume that they’ll all work out, by the way. They are exciting and fun to watch and everything, but assuming that any three young pitchers will be dominant five years from now is a bit premature.

There are no outs for Zito

Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.

Zito factoid
Barry Zito is only in the second year of a seven year contract. It could become an eight year contract if Zito pitches certain amount of innings between 2011-2013.
At the end of this the second season of the contract Zito be still be owed $101.5M. YES $101.5M.
Additional perspective
Mike Hampton’s contract still hasn’t run out.
All-Father Watch: 1.11 ERA, 6 saves, 0.90 WHIP, 34 Ks in 32 1/3 IP
Our best chance for avoiding disaster with the Zito contract:
Barry Zito becomes a Buddhist monk and renounces material things.
