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.

Runaway beer truck would have been much better, and funnier.

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…

seriously, yesterday, I was thinking about going to today’s game, but then found out Zito was pitching and ruled out that possibility as the likelihood of him getting shelled today are quite high.

I’m with you on this one.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
