game thread 3

Okay. Batter out on a big hook. While I would like to reserve further comment for two innings, I must say, I am mildly impressed.

Zito wins!

Well, I suppose it was inevitable. Barry Zito, at some point was bound to win again. Only I didn't expect it to be against the Indians. I have to admit, I was mildly surprised to see Zito with a little fire in the belly. That was nice. But tooooo late. Do I think Barry has turned the corner? Would I give Barrence the ball in the final game for the final out of the final series? Will I build my franchise around a guy named Zito? No to all. This was a fluke. Barry will suck his next outing. Mark my words. Giant fans do not fall for the Zito. The Zito will break your heart.
The one good thing about this though is maybe this will bring some interest in the Zito. Maybe one or two more good starts will bring a team in contention "kicking the tires." Of course the Gigantes have a sticker price problem but I say trade him. Save face, eat some of that contract and trade for a washing machine or slurpee maker thingy. Why the stadium offers no Slurpee is beyond me. Anyway, loved the College World Series and hope the Giants saw some of the players down there. That team has players of the Aaron Rowand mold. All heart and big gamers. That one kid alone, the one who looked eerily like "the Nuschler", Will Clark was fun to watch for a Giants fan. The dude even made Nucsh faces. Okay. Well thats all I got. I accidently took a Viagra instead of a vicodin so I have some issues I need to "rub" out.

more musings on Zito.....

And this from the S.J. Merc:

"A high-ranking Giants official said Tuesday he believes the organization should consider reaching out to fired New York Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson in an advisory role in hopes of helping get Barry Zito back on track. The official declined to comment because he said the topic is sensitive internally and Peterson still is under contract with the Mets. General Manager Brian Sabean said he would not "address anybody else's business"

Well, I guess, if it helps. But whats the point. Barry Zito, no matter what he does, will not be able to live up to his contract. Never. He is not the pitcher that Matt Cain is. He's no Tim Lincecum. Hell, I wanna say he's not even a Jonathan Sanchez and I don't know if he will ever be again. Oh sure, you MIGHT get a flash here and there of past Zitoesqueness, but do you think he can sustain it? Unless Cialis or Levitra are in the sports beverage biz, Barry ain't gonna keep it up. So the Giants, by bringing in Petersen are taking the Viagra Eye Drops. It will only LOOK like Barry can keep it up but you and I know it. Barry will be good for one shot. Then he'll be limp again. All Johnson jokes aside this is the Giants trying to give Barry all the chances they should give him. Cut him. Take the hit. You can't even trade him, thats how bad he is. Pittsburgh is not an option this time. At least I think they aren't. Hell, bring back Morris. Morris for Zito. I'd take it.

Trade in the works???

This off the Chron:

Cub talk: It could be a coincidence, but Gary Hughes, one of the Cubs' top talent evaluators, attended the A's-Giants games just after his club lost Alfonso Soriano to a broken hand. The Cubs are believed to be looking for a left-handed bat, but a source said they have not phoned the Giants about switch-hitting Randy Winn, the outfielder most likely to be shopped.

Any thoughts? I'm opening this up for discussion.....anyone?
