		<description>The fact an outright release of the second highest paid pitcher in baseball makes sense should basically mean Sabeans fired right?.....right? NO!?!?! Stupid owners blow</description>

		<description>Oh I agree he&#039;s a huge bust. He makes the Kevin Brown deal seem forthright. I never hoped they would sign him in the first place. I was hoping that the day Sabean announced his signing was some fever dream I was having.

But since they did sign him I&#039;m trying to make the best of it and that is to leave him as cannon fodder for as long as he wears the orange and black. 

At a certain point they&#039;ll just have to release him. And that will be a great day because it&#039;ll mean the team will be on the rise again.</description>

		<description>Greg, I see your point about how with our awful lineup we can&#039;t beat most #1 starters so we might as well waste it on Zito. HOWEVA, what about say...4 years from now when Zito&#039;s makin 20 mill and is possibly (probably?) worse than he is now.  Unless you&#039;re hoping we signed a guy to be a punching bag for a 7 year rebuilding process Zito is a huge bust</description>

		<description>I&#039;m now fine with the Zito situation. Quite simply he&#039;s overpaid and not going anywhere so it becomes all about what the Giants to with him that matters. And I for one think it was brilliant to make him the Opening Day starter.

Let&#039;s face it with our line up the Giants cannot beat the number one starter on any team in the league. So Zito should take that start. We couldn&#039;t beat Penny on opening day and I&#039;m glad Zito was the starter. We couldn&#039;t beat Brandon Webb if the Diamondbacks only played their infielders so again the perfect starter is Zito. I don&#039;t care if he loses 28 games this year if it protects the younger players from having to deal with matching up against aces. He&#039;s got plenty of cash for therapy. I&#039;d like to see him coming in on short rest to face a number one if needed, that should be his job. He&#039;s being paid to be cannon fodder.

I&#039;m also not sure about this idea about the Zito deal being against everything that Sabean says he stands for. If Sabean has proven one thing its that he&#039;s lying everytime he opens his mouth. Never ever make the mistake of listening to Sabean. He should only be judged by his actions because that is the truth of what he stands for. He&#039;ll say anything but its what he does that matters. And Zito fits in perfectly with what he stands for.</description>

		<description>This site is depressing now.  Rarely updated and the posts usually contain a lot of anger.  A real disappointment...

C&#039;mon John, why not start posting about the young pitchers and how well they are doing.</description>

		<description>After tonight&#039;s game the Giants have scored the fewest runs and allowed the most runs in the National League.

Thank goodness we have so many gamers, or we might be stuck with a bad team.</description>

		<description>That was my first thought as well... it&#039;s nice to hear SOMEONE in the Giants&#039; organization isn&#039;t completely full of shit.  They must have some amazing kool-aid in the fridge.</description>

		<description>Big difference is, two of those guys got injured and the other had to pitch in Coors Field.  Zito has NO excuses...</description>
