Zito, at Coors Field, to prevent an 0-6 road trip.
It's like we're playing a game of Clue in the seventh circle of hell.

I doubt that his job security is in jeopardy by missing the last 3 weeks of the season. Dave Roberts isn’t kidding anyone.

Bunions have different degrees of seriousness.
I’m sure the trainers would advise him to shut down for the season as a precaution, if it really were as serious as everyone here thinks.

but i feel like aaron rowand took one look and thought “who the F are these people? And why are over half of them batting before me??”
In Aaron Rowand's mind he is:

Signing a free agent at a position you don’t need to a big multi-year contract because he fits in with the really bad ad campaign you’ve dreamed up: probably not the best idea.

I’m at the point at the moment where I find it hard to believe that this team will ever win again.
Hard to believe they had that huge hot streak just a couple of weeks ago – it was, what, 7 or 8 wins in 9 games or something? geez.

I just had to run downstairs because someone rang the doorbell. I thought it would be the delivery of the birthday gift I ordered for my wife – a really nice framed photographic print. But it was Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I’m taking this as a bad sign for the game.

Zito or Cain would fit in nicely

Cain doesn’t fit in well with a single-A rotation

since the Rox are trying to put a streak together and are facing Zito, stats would say that we would win. However, a number of people on Purple Row are calling for Zito to throw a perfect game today, mainly out of spite
