Zito did what Barry Zito does. He lost, he didn’t make it to the seventh inning, but did throw over 100 pitches.

In this interleague match up between the Chicago White Sox and San Francisco Giants, the Giants fell 3-1 after an above average start by Zito.

Mark Buehrle got a needed win after starting 1-5. ZIto falls to 0-8. He did somehow lower his ERA, small battles.

Hell, it isn’t a loss.

Barry Zito took the mound today taking on the Houston Astros. The Giants gave him early support jumping to a 3 run lead by the 4th. Fred Lewis started it off in the 3rd by doubling home Emanuel Burriss. Omar Vizquel matched Freddies double with one of his own scoring Lewis.

In the 4th, rookie Jon Boeker hit a homerun to right to make it 3-0.

3-0 lead should be enough for an ace like Barry Zito to hold correct?  Negative.

After a Miguel Tejada RBI sac fly, Lance Berkman did what he has been doing all season, hit a home run. Zito was pulled as he hit his season long inning max of SIX. He did somehow manage to hit 100 pitches for the 4th time this season.

Since the Giants bullpen sucks, the Astros scored four more runs and thats the ball game.

Zito’s ERA is now down to a beautiful 6.58 but is still stuck without a win this season. Its becoming an awful thing to watch for Giants fans, the fact that Zito has not thrown a pitch in the seven inning this entire season says a lot. Although he is still averaging over 90 pitches a game. Zito will start next against the Chicago White Sox, shit.

The San Francisco Giants continued to do the same they always do when Barry Zito pitches. Lose. This time to the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1.

Most would say this was a good start for Barry Zito, only giving up 2 runs on basically one bad pitch. That pitch happened to be a fastball that came back to the plate and Xavier Nady took it to deep left for his 5th homerun of the season.

Zito once again didn’t make it past the 6.0 mark, this time only going 5.0 innings. He did manage to squeeze 99 pitches into those 5 innings however.

Things did look good for number 75 Barry Zito, but still nothing worth his contract. The hapless Pirates should have been an easy foe for the second highest paid pitcher in the MLB. However, a combination of Zito’s pitching and the Giants shitty offense, resulted in the 21st loss of the season for San Francisco.

Zito set another record being the first former 20-game winner to lose the first seven starts of a season.

Zito’s next start will be Friday May 9th vs. the Philadelphia Phillies . You can buy tickets to the game here .

In an act of god, Barry Zito has been sent to the bullpen to get his shit straight. Coach Bruce Bochy announced that the San Francisco Giants have decided to send Barry Zito, their $126 million dollar man, to the bullpen.

When asked by the media what Zito though of this, "I definitely want the ball. I’m not backing down from that," Zito said. "But they know what’s best for the ballclub. It feels [bad] going out here and losing for these guys."

Zito is now the highest paid reliever in the history of Major League Baseball.

Our thoughts here at Trade Barry Zito are simple, Trade Barry Zito. He is a good guy, and I like his attitude, but this was the worst move in sports since Mike Hamptons trade. Every fan knew Zito was not going to be good anymore, and that we should not have signed him. Unfortunately it has taken the Giants a bit longer to realize this.
