About the Author

Cougar2000
There are some things about sports I don't like... the New Yuck Muts, the University of Michigan and those ASSCRACK UGLY HELMETS, the Floridamn Gayturds and the Miami Crimicanes. I also think that NASCRAP and professional wrestling are a HUGE waste of air time on television and would rather watch women's Jello wrestling!

Zito needs to get his act together

When the San Francisco Giants signed Barry Zito to pitch for them in 2007, they thought their troubles were at an end. Nothing could be further from the truth. Zito is 0-5 with an ERA in the high fives and is as hittable as a pitching machine at the county fair. To paraphrase Ausin Powers, Zito has lost his mojo. Maybe it's on a milk carton somewhere in Silicon Valley.

Perhaps Zito needs to listen to his uncle, Patrick Duffy, of Dallas fame.

Barry, you're too good a pitcher to be pitching this badly. 18 million dollars to pitch this badly? Embarrassing! Suck it up. Right now, you are so bad, even I could hit you! You are now the face of the Giants since a certain outfielder has left the building (Barry Lamar Bonds). There's still time to put this behind you. Do something, even if it means taking every last damned teddy bear you have on the road. I'm not saying be the next Mark Fidyrich, just get your ducks in a row. It's time to get the form back that got you the Cy Young in 2002 for Oakland.

It's time for Barry Zito to show up.

And bring his mojo.

I will be surprised if Zito gets his mojo working anytime soon. The combination of his lousy pitching and the weak hitting offense of the Giants is too much to overcome. Giants fans should scour the neighborhood around the stadium to see if they can help him find his lost mojo.

You're making it sound like Zito isn't trying -- in reality, he just flat-out sucks, and pretty much everybody not named "Brian Sabean" saw this coming when SF signed him. When you strike out a microscopic 3.51 batters per 9 and have a 0.83 K/BB ratio, I'd say your mojo ain't coming back. Ever.

This could go down as one of worst signings ever but at least he is pitching more than Hampton and Pavano can say lately but it might be better if he wasn't pitching.

Thank God for Lincecum. Can the Giants trade Zito for a sandwich or something?

At this rate, Tej, the sandwich would do a better job!

Zito should be arrested for impersonating a major league pitcher.

Don't you mean Patrick Duffy of Step by Step fame?

The battle between Adidas and the University of Central Florida over the brand of shoes Michael Jordan's son will wear has cost the school any future sponsorship with Adidas. Ring, ring. That must be Nike on the phone.
