[Wince.]

So, here's what happened tonight for Zito in the first inning against those danged Los Angeles Dodgers:

First batter: RF Matt Kemp smashed a ground-rule double that was 'bout a foot shy of clearing the wall and got corralled over the fence by a foolish fan.

Second batter: LF Andre Ethier doubled to drive in Kemp.

[Sigh.]

UPDATE! = Holy crap, Zito recovered from his rocky start to strikeout 10 (his highest amount as a Giant), and last seven innings. Then the Giants ground out some actual run support (I know!!!), keyed by a Randy Winn 2-out 2-strike chopper that scurried through the center of the Dodger infield. In the 8th/9th, tattooed Giants closer Brian Wilson slammed the door, reaching 100 MPH on his fastball in the process. Well, hell-yeah! What do y' know! A rousing win. And to think that the game started so ickily... it feels good to be proven wrong!
