Open Gameday Thread 6/18
Detroit Tigers @ San Francisco Giants
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.

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…

Why are they trying to corner pitch with Zito? He doesn’t have the command for that. Just set up right down the middle, and Zito will miss the target and either hit the corner or jam Ordonez inside.
