PrintI totally expect Zito to keep pitching this well, but I don't want to put that in the post because I'll jinx him. So I won't.

If it weren’t for you all, I’d think that GameDay just had the two pitchers’ lines mixed up.

So what did Rowand do to earn the "GAMER!" remark?
Please tell the non-tv watching fools in the audience.
Only 895 games until the end of Zito's contract
made a pretty nice catch, though it only had to be nice because he broke back to start.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Hey guys,
I’ve got some bean burritos cookin’ in the oven and a nice stout by my side. I just turned on the game ,what’d I miss…
OH MY GOD ZITO HASN’T GIVEN UP ANY RUNS
It’s Sierra Nevada’s stout, which is totally decent and pretty danged good.
They make good beers for sure.
Yes
Yes, they do.

Sounds good. My area doesn’t have any really GREAT beer stores but a few decent ones. I’ll be on the lookout.
You really should.
Also check out Kona Brewing’s beers, especially the Longboard Lager and the Fire Rock pale ale – I have both in the fridge. Excellent.

While we’re at it, also look out for the Firestone Walker Double Barrel Ale. Also very nice.

Looking at this, it’s starting to look like maybe I drink too much beer.
To correct that misconception, I’d like to say I also drink a lot of wine, port and cosmos.

How is it not a good thing if the game rains out?
Don’t we win if they have to call it?
Another theory: With his newfound free time, Rick Peterson started a podcast, and Zito subscribed to it.
According to today's results
Zito’s much better than Sizemore.
Only 895 games until the end of Zito's contract
I think the entire bullpen

The Georgia batter just threw his bat into the Fresno dugout. Next pitch, the entire Fresno dugout ducked as the ball arrived at the plate. And then stood up when the bat wasn’t thrown.

Bochey has years and years of experience being a fucking moron in the NL, but he’s just now figuring out how to be a fucking moron in the AL.

I can see it now. Bochy’s going to be trying to convince Sabean to go buy him a bat and bullpen arm.
“With our offense on the road, we can steal some series since we’ll have the lower record!”
World Series title here we come!
As much as the Zito contract still terrifies the shit out of me, it’s nice to hear him do a post game interview where he’s not explaining why he melted down.
GG Zeets.
I wonder
Did the Giants hire Zito’s old high school coach? I heard he left the A’s and they were thinking of bringing him in to handle Zito.
Hum-baby!
SWEET!
I get to see Lincecum vs Duchscherer on Saturday.
Damon Bruce: is he for real?
He accepts the abuse that the broadcasters gave him – and why not, he can’t really do anything back without looking like an ass – then says that the Giants will be facing the Indian’s Lincecum tomorrow – Cliff Lee. As in 30 year old, veteran of 5 years, lacking any dominating strikeout pitch Cliff Lee. Yes, that’s the Indian’s Lincecum all right…
Sidenote, sfgiants.com noted that the Indians could have signed Lincecum the year before and therefore it could be them having Lincecum start for them instead of for us. Then they go and pat themselves on the back for seeing his talent and selecting him in the draft.
Well, if they really saw his talent, the talent he is showing today, then they would have signed him for the measy $1M bonus that he was asking for that season, instead of saying that was too rich and passing on him. This would be like any of the music labels who had the Beatles in for a demo and passed on them saying, “Yeah, we saw their potential, I give a lot of credit to our scouts on that one”.
No, you don’t, because you missed out on signing them, the scouts didn’t see it enough.

"Their Lincecum"
I’ve heard a couple of managers of other teams refer to certain young pitchers as their Lincecum- I remember hearing Dusty call Cueto their Lincecum and Clint Hurdle saying the same thing about Jimenez. I’m pretty sure I’ve read similar comparisons made with Max Scherzer. Lincecum, of course, is proving why the comparisons are being made to him and not vice-versa.
But Cliff Lee as the Indian’s Lincecum makes little sense. He’s having a good year, but he’s not even the best pitcher on that staff.
