I didn’t even get a chance to write that I was worried that Zito couldn’t keep the pitching streak going, and I walked in the living room to see that he was in the process of blowing a 4-2 lead. incredibly, the Giants hitters have bailed him out, at least to this point of the game.
It’s 8-6 G-men, with two on and nobody out in the sixth, after the Giants have put up six consecutive hits.
Torres was back tonight. He hit a homer, ran down a couple of blasts, and then left the game, hopefully just for precautionary reasons.
UPDATE: Hard to lose a game in a worse way than that. 4-2 lead, 9-6 lead, 9-7 lead, bottom of the ninth….. That was pretty awful. First time in a month that the bullpen faltered. Oh well. Zito is terrible. Just like that, out of the NL West lead.
UPDATE: Um…. Yeah, you guys are right. Bochy fucked up big time. Chris Ray? Really? Chris Ray?!?! Romero pulled after ten pitches? Not walking the hottest hitter in baseball with the game on the line, not once, but twice? You go after Tulowiztky two times in a row? That’s the plan?
Jesus Christ, what a collossal failure. Watching Bochy while he watched every move he made fail was like watching paint dry.
UPDATE: I was just looking up Tulowitzki. He’s got 15 home runs and 40 RBI this month. That’s in 94 at bats. 23 games. Wow. I’d also mention that he looked huge last night. He’s a shortstop, and I don’t remember him being so gigantic. His player page says he’s 6’3″ 205 pounds. Not anymore. I mean, he looks like he’s put on about twenty pounds of muscle from last season, no?
Big game today. The Giants need Cain to get the Colorado hitters back under control.
Back to the wrong Barry. If there was any doubt, it is now clear that the Zito contract is one of the three or four worst contracts in major league history, right up there with the Kevin Brown deal, the Mike Hampton disaster, and it is also clear that the Giants need to get out from under it someway. He is not just overpaid. It cannot be overstated how much it hurts a team to have a player who is not earning his keep, so to speak. Who cares that he is an adequate fourth or fifth starter? He practically makes more money than the entire rest of the pitching staff.
That has to be demoralizing. Sabean has to find a way to get him out of town.

I might get ripped for this, but the first time I saw Tulo play in 2007, all I could think about was Cal Ripken, Jr. Sadly, I haven’t been able to shake that from my memory since then, and Tulo’s making his case for one of the best players in the game.
Mia is absolutely correct on making the rotation change! What a nightmare of a game! John I really miss Frank Robinson as Manager: TUTO WOULD NOT HAVE A FUCKIN’ HEAD LEFT. Yes I can fucking believe the results of this manager!
Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself
The Giants have a small advantage here. They have an off day on Monday while the Padres don’t. The Giants can shuffle their rotation as a result if they use their heads, to get Lincecum into the Friday opener instead of Zito. The Padres don’t have that luxury with Chris Young who is scheduled to start Wed against the Cubs. Chris Young
eats Giants batters for lunch and shits them out before dinner in case anybody forgot. Now Black may want to gamble and skip his turn in Chicago, depending on how their next 4 games and the Giants next 3 games go. But at this point of the season and having fucked the shit out of his opportunities to contribute something to the Giants over the last 4 seasons, when it comes to Zito, it is time to pull the plug and send him tot he pen.
At home, I would rather have Todd Wellemeyer pitching than Zito. Think I’m kidding? At Pac Bell Wellemeyer was 3-1 with a 2.97 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP and average almost 7 innings in his 5 starts.
Wellemeyer is to Zito as Cy Young is to Cy Spurling. And the Giants dfa’d Wellemeyer? He couldn’t have been any worse than the pathetic Zito at home.
Anyway, onto the reality
1. Zito is still scheduled to open against the Padres on Friday Oct 1.
2. Followed by Cain, and then Sanchez
3. Lincecum, is scheduled to start the series finale against the D-Backs on Thursday and miss the Padres entirely.
The simple smart solution would be to flop Lincecum and Zito. This does two things.
It gives Lincecum an extra day of rest.
It gives Lincecum the opener against the Pads
If the Giants do succeed in backing into the post-season, Lincecum would be scheduled to open Wednesday on his normal 4 days rest, followed by Cain, Sanchez and Lincecum/Bumgarner if neccessary.
It matches Lincecum against Clayton Richard instead of Zito
It keeps the Padres the fuck away from Zito.
The Giants are 20-12 when Lincecum starts overall.
The Giants are 16-17 when Zito starts.
Going back to August 17, the Giants are 1-8 in his last 9 starts. Zito is 1-7 during that stretch.
He is averaging 4.2 innings per start
His ERA is 6.64 and an OPS against of .813 while giving up 32 runs in 39.1 innings.
He has walked 23 batters while striking out 28 in 39 innings He is issuing free passes at the rate of more than one every other inning.
He has allowed 67 baserunners in those 39.1 innings for a WHIP of 1.72
He is lasting an average of 4.2 innings per start.
Swapping Zito out for Lincecum is the second smartest thing you could do.
The first smartest thing would be to only let Zito near the mound if he is carrying a fucking rake and wearing coveralls. But only if he is accompanied by an armed certified groundskeeper.
But we all know none of this will happen because of “The Contract”.
Nevertheless. Cool beans to follow.
john
read your update…bochy panicked, while tracy kept his head….was amazing to watch
this man, who has used the pen wisely for the past month…totally fell apart…mostly because he wasnt planning on zito looking like a big tub of shite
all of a sudden, romo is a specialty guy?
knowing what the ball was doing tonite…knowing that tulo was seeing that ball well and hit a monster in the 6th….you dont let that guy see another pitch
but this is the very same bochy who refused to pitch around bonds…no matter what the situation.
is this game the end of the world? nope….but when your team is in the hunt and scores 9 fooking runs….you aint supposed to lose.
the best was watching uribe miss that dp ball, and then watching burrell fall flat on his ass, allowing the winning run to score….fooking pathetic
i have no problem with being pissed at zito…he is a pos….biggest game as a giant and he failed
i have a bigger problem with bochy’s use of the pen, and his refusal to pitch around tulo
so fuck bochy
and fuck the rox and their unhumidified balls
Goin with the “hot hand”
You can skip the bochy post-mortem on zito:
“Zeets just missed a little bit. He didn’t have his a-stuff, but he gritted it up and gave us everything he had. This is a tough place to pitch, and if everything doesn’t go perfect, you can get roughed up in a hurry. Zitoeey wasn’t the only one you know. Even B-Willy, and Jeremy-y and Sergio-y and Runtzler-e and Ray-e had a tough time out there. And we didn’t let there guys off easy either. I was even thinking of getting Dave
“No. We’re still going to go with Barry at home. He’s got big-game experience and they’re all big from here on out.” “We have to take ‘em one at a time”
“No, it wasn’t all Zeety’s fault. We win as a team and lose as a team. Barryy-e is clubhouse leader and he brings more than just pitches to the table. The younger guys really look up to him for leadership”
“He’s a real team guy”
Now you don’t have to read the rags or listen to Comcast or KNBR
You’re welcome
fully rested pen….why the fuck did bochy have affeldt start the 8th????
what the fuck is wrong with that pumpin headed bastard?
i think it is a miracle that torres is able to play at all….kudos to the surgeon and his work ethic
fuck zito…he is a pos
if this team does make the post, and he is on the roster….FIRE BOCHY AND SABEAN
