Oops, sorry, thought he was 4-10 not 4-12, so on pace for 8 and 24!

It's a trap to lure you back in to caring! And don't forget, he's "on pace" to finish 8-20! Good job this game, but, let's see some consistency

@Generic Yup 126 mil is a lot of money!!!! Zito should have to take 26 milion and send out stimulus checks to all the Giants fans so they keep buying season tickets and his rotting memoribilia. What say?

@ scopa[11] > I love that we have a closer that comes out looking like an MMA fighter, and then throws 100mph fastballs. Most definitely. He's the anti-Benitez. It's awesome.

Sweet. awesome comeback for the giants. Good game from Zito, and Wilson is the shit. I love that we have a closer that comes out looking like an MMA fighter, and then throws 100mph fastballs.

:o Run support!! Wow. Man; they had to work for that! Bless your heart, Randy Winn.

Wow, now THERE is some run support! :) Maybe Zito gets a win? We'll see what the bullpen can deliver the rest of the game.

@ Sniffy Yeah, he's doing mighty-fine now after that ignominious start. 10 Ks!

@ cablecarsam Yup. Exorcisms plural might be in order for that kinda karma.

An exorcism is in order. If every girl he has played sends a bad vibe his way..... this guy is in deep doodoo.

Oh, snap! I post to speak of his continuing downturn and suddenly he's got 8 strikeouts after the 5th! C'mon, run support...

@scopa[1] I'm watchin' the game and eating Indian food. Indeed, the Giants just aren't scoring at all this year. No run support. I worry about Matt Cain's mental stability. Yeah, poor Zito. He was brought in to be Cy Young-winning caliber talent, but o'course on one arm a team cannot ride. I feel bad for the dude too, but at least (as a couple blogs have mentioned lately) he's not playing in New York or Boston or any other market that's rougher on their pro players. I'd like to see him succeed. Not sure why he's had such struggles in terms of his own pitching "stuff." Opinions on that?

bad first inning, but to be fair, he had a good 2nd and 3rd. Still to early to call it a good game from Zito though. Tim kept his game alive with a key base hit against the cubs. Zito strikes out and the giants leave the bases loaded while scoring 0. Sometimes I feel bad for the guy, since the giants never score when he pitches... but he doesn't exactly inspire the dugout with his play either.
