THE ZITO DEBACLE CONTINUES

ZITO ESTIMATING HOW MANY MORE STARTS HE WILL NEED BEFORE HE WINS A GAME THIS YEAR


Good to see The big Zit-o back in the rotation again. I see they tried to select a team they thought he could beat, the Pirates.

Unfortunately, the Buccos found a way to win, or Zit found a way to lose, whatever.

At least there is comfort in knowing that Zit-o doesn't cause any problems in the clubhouse. He's not a cancer there, although it could be argued that his salary is a malignant cancer on the Giants future plans to be competitive.

Thankfully he doesn't take up more than one locker in the clubhouse too.

And being a laughing-stock nationally for signing Zit-o, to what will go down as the worst free-agent signing in history, is much more than preferable to being a national whipping boy for the PED scandal, isn't it?

All these factors must have been weighed carefully by GM Brian Sabean and Owner Peter McGowan when they signed Zit-o and declined to re-sign the best baseball player on the planet. Don't you think?

Yes, life is good being a Giants fan. You sure don't have to worry about wins and losses on a daily basis. You can reflect on a day in the future--in the very, very, distant future--and dream of your favorite team being competitive again. With a nice shiny new GM who knows a little more about building a franchise and less about destroying one. Ah, perchance to dream. I can only hope I live so long.

55 YEARS AND COUNTING. LOOK OUT CUBS, HERE COME THE GIANTS.

Maybe instead of counting the number of splash hit into the Bay, the Giants could put one of those stick counters, like the ones the prisoner scratch on the walls of their jail cells, counting the number of years of futility the fans of SF have endured.
