PrintYou know, Barry Zito's season is remarkably like Edinson Volquez's, just with 60 less strikeouts, fewer walks, fewer hits, and more runs given up. It's a fine line between dominant and abysmal.

I can hardly tell Zito and Volquez apart!

I like him because he's trying to get us Strasburg
..but even he will fail, alas.
I was under the mistaken impression...
…that there would be professional baseball players in tonight’s game.
Where there's no brain, there's no pain.
I don’t think anyone here ever made that claim.

Easy, nancy boy

Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
I’m just saying that its mechanics are all out of whack! Anyone could see that.

The worst thing is
Chanho Park gave a two grand-slam to same hitter in one single inning.

Am I the only one...
who thinks this new thread makes no sense in terms of the stats grant refers to: it goes strikeouts (zito), walks (Volquez), hits (volquez) and runs (zito). Our fearless leader need to lay of the sauce.
Flossing a dead horse
may i have some more frozen disgust, please?

I am beginning to look forward to the team writing off his contract
hey, it’s not my money. well, okay, it is partly, but mostly not.
Zito's best friend coming up ?
To me, Zito with Yabu is kind of … duel, package, set, etc,.

I see the strategy now
Walk a couple more first, then the grand slam.
by rightcenterfielder on Aug 29, 2008 5:51 PM PDT reply actions
If this inning is still going on when the Niners game comes on
I think I might just watch the Niners.
Where there's no brain, there's no pain.
Why is our bullpen so bad?
They don’t seem that bad…a lot of relatively young pitchers. What’s wrong?

I was kinda hoping for a GS

I blame your thread for Sandoval throwing too soon and for the throw to Velez at first that he couldn’t handle.

I guess this is payback for that game we won at Coors where Sanchez gave up like 50 runs and still won the game.
I thought Obama looked familiar
..is he going to be singing “Don’t Be Cruel” to close out appearances now?
I was out picking my son up from daycare for less than an hour, and TWELVE RUNS were scored.
I posted this in the old thread, because there were like 20 posts after it was rolled, so I didn’t notice it had been. Oops.
