My Barry Zito Story

So after the game the day Zito got sent to the bullpen my dad and I went to Dennys in Larkspur when who should walk in? The one and only Barry Zito. I didn’t want to bother him and in an attempt to pick up his spirits and hopefully turn him around we picked up his tab…

Durham hasn’t always been bad defensively. He is now, but in his prime, he was a decent second baseman. Not great, but pretty OK. Denker has looked about as bad defensively as he has looked good at the plate.

but I really don’t care what Durham was in his prime, since that was like 10 years ago. Denker is at least young and learning- Durham is just old and can’t play.
