Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Zito is on the Twitter?!?

Alright, I'll admit it...I'm hooked on Twitter! It's my crack pipe...where just a puff or two a day is never enough. The voyeur in me enjoys this new technology as it gives me a peek into the lives of friends/celebs/or anyone infinitely more interesting than yours truly. The thing is, is that I've quickly learned that there's many things I wish I didn't know about the above mentioned friends/celebs/etc. A bit of digging, and what's this...Our very own lefty albatross tweets for those that might be interested. His "Greatest Hits" to date: @BarryZito

"Every single person is incredible. Like an oasis. You can either irrigate the oasis, or get very bad water-yoko ono"

Uh, dude...you're quoting Yoko Ono.  WTF?

"I'm wondering always if microwaves are really that bad for us, the part of me that needs to spend 25 min not using the oven says no."

I've got this image in my head of Barry staring blankly into the microwave with a certain bit of wonder and intrigue.  Step back from the radiation bro, it'll fry your brain!

"Been into new and old Ne-Yo lately, and wearing short shorts to the pool"

I'll let him slide on the Ne-Yo, but short shorts?!?  Dude, the line between quirky and flat-out bat-shit crazy is a thin one.

"Got a pair of Heely's today(those wheel shoes thingies)...one step closer on the journey of being more childlike."

We're pretty much on the hook for the rest of his salary if he was to pull a Monta Ellis or Jeff Kent, right?  Would be a shame if something was to happen to him and we could void that mistake of a contract.  I'm just sayin.

So that being said, what are your thoughts on the above?  Do you tweet and if so, what's your "handle"?  Anyone know of any other players or staff in the orginization that are on Twitter too?

P.S. I've rarely got anything interesting to say, but look me up if you're so inclined @sac_magpie.

The funniest part is that he’s following Ryan Seacrest. I have a twitter account, but I just throw on random thoughts, though I guess that’s what Twitter is for. I mainly use it to follow/stalk minor celebrities I like. See me @natt0.

take it from experience. Don’t use your cellphone when you’re pooping. I’ve dropped my phone in there twice and one of the times it was before I flushed! You really don’t want to hold the phone too close to your ear afterwards!

Not one of my finest moments. I created a username called notgroug, which obviously made everyone think it’s groug, and used it to write groug-like comments, mainly regarding the issue of Nate Schierholtz’s inability to play 3B. Then like two days later I got caught between usernames and my cover was blown.

Notgroug’s bio, by the way, just said “I’m not groug”, so I was never dishonest about the whole thing. I’d link to it, but the username has been deleted by now.

The Heely comment just makes me hate Zito even more. Those shoes are obnoxious as fuck and I hate the parents who buy them for their kids. I’ve been crashed into by kids on those damn things so many times. I should be allowed to clothesline anyone who wears those shoes indoors.

I hate the ugly garden clog Crocs, but they actually make real shoes that are comfy and attractive. I know; I was shocked too.

Don't tar all us parents under one brush!

We waited until our son was old enough to handle the shoes and had him practice at home until he knew what he was doing. He never ran into anyone.

And he looked pretty cool when he got a good roll going, like an ice skater.

Scenes We'd Like To See

Zito kicks , strides…and falls flat on his ass because he’s still wearing his Heelys.

There has to be something in his contract about hazardous activities an’ such. This sounds like a clear violation , and I’d fully expect a BRASS!!!y reprimand.

If he was wearing heelys, he could release the ball 30 feet from home plate = unhittable.

Speaking of Zito. You could watch Zito pitch on Thursday night televised by Comcast Sports Net Bay Area (on plus channel and right after Sharks hockey on the main channel) AND the MLB Network live at 7:30PM. So if you don’t have Comcast, you can pick it up on MLB. I believe the MLB Network feed will be the Giants broadcasters (so probably blacked out in the Bay Area).

The Giants brass must hate fans to put Zito on two consecutive starts for TV.

For fuck’s sake. I swear to god every time I go to the ballpark it’s Zito. My first day in the desert last week? Zito. I’ve seen more Zito starts in SF than any other pitcher since he signed.

The only time I saw Zito pitch, it was a game against LA last season where he pitched really well and everyone thought he was going to start turning it around. He didn’t turn it around.

I’ve had the pleasure of sitting in the Field Club section exactly one time, when they were playing the A’s in ‘07. Zito dampened the experience, because I knew going in that the Giants would lose. Zito has started the last three games I’ve been to.

P.S. – We were in FC Section 115, Row A, so we were at the top of the T.V. frame during the centerfield camera shot. And I did wave.

Since the contract he’s the only starter I’ve seen when I’ve gone to games. I haven’t seen the Giants win in a while.

I’ve only seen Zito pitch in person twice. And once was when he was with the A’s. Bonds hit a homer off of him.

A friend of my friend last season would go to weekday day games and some weekends. It seemed like every time he went Zito pitched. He had the worst luck pitching wise, missed Lincecum saw Zito.

I went to the ballpark exactly once last year

And it was a Zito game. In fact, come to think of it, I went with you and rotorueter.

And Brian Wilson blew the save.

But Velez did do his magical clutch hitting thing.

Catcher are base running. Hitters are offense.

I had the pleasure of going to the Milwaukee Brewers vs Giants series at Miller Park two years ago when Bonds was 2 home runs away from Hank. The first two games Lowry, and Lincecum both threw gems, and Randy Messenger wasn’t the useless piece of shit he is now…when Sunday roles around I get to the game Bond’s is already outta Milwaukee and Zito has given up 5 runs in the first inning before I even sat down. That was my first and last time seeing that guy.
