Anyone who received their SFGiants.com email today, knows that the title of the email was “Zito brings good vibes to finale at Dodger Stadium”, well that’s about all he brought because he sure didn’t bring any skill. You can read the whole article here but don’t waste your time its bullshit. They actually try to hype the game up by saying Barry Zito likes pitching in L.A “because he’s 3-1 with a 2.73 ERA in four career appearances there”. How shitty of a pitcher are you when your bragable stats still include an ERA close to three!

Randy Johnson had never lost in L.A going into this week and hes been pitching since the civil war; now that’s a fucking stat. (He lost, go Giants!)

Back to this weeks abortion of a ballgame though.

Any inclinations that Giants fans had that we might contend in this game, were quickly crushed by Rafeal Furcals lead off homerun in the bottom of the first. They then scored 2 in the second on Fred Lewis’s 3rd error that’s not scored an error (ETNSAE is a stat they should add) of the year.

Zito gave up six runs in just over 5 innings of work. Yes that’s right, he once again can’t go deep into a game. Since 2006, Barry Zito has only hit 8.0 in the innings column 6 times out of 56 starts. No that’s not 6 complete games (which CC Sabathia beat in 2008 with 7) that’s just completing the 8th inning.

Zito did however hit two Dodgers, which is decent.

He finished with 4k’s and 4 walks (and hit two batters) and tossed 94 pitches. He is now on the same stellar pace as last year, with his second straight loss making him 0-2 on the season.
