THE BIG ZIT - CLOSING IN ON HIS PRE-SEASON PREDICTION OF NUMBER OF LOSSES HE WOULD START THE SEASON WITH
Barry Zito continued his torrid march toward ignominity yesterday versus the Chicago White Sox yesterday, a team he used to own.
Zito continued to try to mask his oozing pus of a fastball (84 MPH tops), with a change-up (74 MPH). This appears to be some sort of a change-up on top of a change-up strategy, with the occasional shadow of his knee-buckling curve-ball mixed in.
Painful to watch. I wonder why nobody asks the question, "why would a pitcher, with no prior record of injuries, all of a sudden lose 8-9 MPH off his fastball?" What happened? Is his Fastball a PED testing casualty? Is this a big contract, I don't give a shit about my legacy shutdown?
In related Gigante news, Owner Peter Magowan will step down, however he will not take GM Brian Sabean with him. So Giants fans will continue to be cursed.
