A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Zito’s Law

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on September 4, 2010

It seems like every time Zito pitches something stupid happens to us—like God hates the Giants when he pitches. Should Guillen have caught that ball?  OF COURSE that hit by Lady B goes to the ONE guy on the field who is least likely to make that catch. I’d guess that every outfielder on our team makes that catch…..

2 hits? This year we have exactly 2 earned runs scored of Billingsley through 29.2 innings he’s pitched against us. Pathetic….

You can’t blame the loss on one guy unless you believe God hates Barry Zito and I think that’s an inarguable fact at this point. “When he pitches, dumb shit  happens”. It’s Zito’s Law……..

The Padres continue to lose, even at home. This is still totally doable……..

    loo the fact that you own a computer blows my mind. You are as old-school it gets. I’ve got this vision of you at the library reading those newspapers on that long stick.

    The union chief didn’t notice Furcal stepping out of the box on his bunt … yet he drew a line for Blake last time those two got together

  3. big flavor's avatar big flavor said, on September 4, 2010 at 7:42 pm

    Is it gay of me to say that I think I could beat off to Casey Blake striking out?

    You’ll notice I said I “”think” I could do it………
    Look at Cain’s eyes, he looks like he’s had about 2 hours sleep. He’s pitching great, keep it up…….

    Damn, maybe if I woulda just ripped him a little harder that ball woulda left.

      How long have you watched the luckiest team in professional sports? I think you’ve been watching the Dodgers for a long time, so you already knew this.

    well, the mind wanders when the game is a series of dots on a computer screen; I’m choosing NOT to follow the audio on 1430 because it is delayed from ESPN’s scoreboard and I just get all bollocksed ; why would an audio feed be later than a digital scoreboard?

    Why plunk guys because the Giants walk batters, can’t get scrubs out, and Bochy is giving away outs in the first inning?

    On second thought … why not?

    Gawdalmighty in heaven. I walk downstairs, chase the dog around the house to put on flea medicine, take a leak, and come back to a 4-0 game. What?!

    Yesh, 3 pitch inning, bioys!!!

  38. Michael's avatar Michael said, on September 4, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    I didn’t blame Posey, someone appeared to post that ot was a fastball. The only point was that it was not a “mistake”. It seems what was thrown was what was agreed on.

  39. TellItGoodbye's avatar TellItGoodbye said, on September 4, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    Cain was just rolling along, spotting almost everything. If anyone has an explanation, I’ll accept it.

    • Michael's avatar Michael said, on September 4, 2010 at 8:27 pm

      Again, the three run HR was a change up right to the target. Blame whoever you want, maybe a bad fucking book on Gibbons.

  41. unca chuck's avatar unca chuck said, on September 4, 2010 at 8:26 pm

    The single and double were fastballs.

    Yes, it will be tough for Ford to find playing time on this offensive juggernaut.

  47. TellItGoodbye's avatar TellItGoodbye said, on September 4, 2010 at 8:29 pm

    Last night, Bochy said he hit for Zito because he couldn’t wait to get some offense going. It was 4-2 at the time. He specifically said it was not because of Zito’s performance.

    Tonight, Cain hits down 4-0.

    See, Pawlie, I remembered. Last time I used “disinterested” and you sent me that nice E-mail (so as not to embarrass me) about the correct usage. Something about a judge’s decision being disinterested. Well, Jose Guillen is UNINTERESTED.
