The Giants are talking about sending Zito to the bullpen so he can't reach 20 loses. WTF, Giants. WTF. 127 million relief pitcher? FUCKING AWESOME.

They should try sending some bats to the offense in order to avoid Zito reaching 20 losses.

I said from the start that Zito wouldn't ever be worth the money he was paid; he's a wildly inconsistent pitcher

He doesn't even deserve the Cy Young he "won". Check out the numbers; Pedro was CLEARLY the superior pitcher that year.

Nobody is worth 127 million. Zito should figure out how to take some sort of performing enhancing drug or something. He clearly needs it.

Its funny, we were arguing before the season that Zito wouldn't finish with a sub 5.00 ERA. Now? I'd be suprised if he finishes below a 6.00 ERA.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OH WOW. THE GIANTS ACTUALLY DID IT.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Zito was demoted to the bullpen Monday by the San Francisco Giants, who hope the former ace can correct his problems by working in relief.

The move was first reported by ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.

Zito, who only 16 months ago signed a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Giants to lead their rotation, was informed of the move in a meeting with manager Bruce Bochy.

"I'm certainly not happy with it, by any means," Zito said. "But this is the bed that I've made. I have to lay in it for the time being and I have to overcome. I trust management and I trust what their decisions are."

a curveball doesn't mean shit when the fastball's even slower than your off speed stuff.

Actually, the last thing Rocker claimed is that Selig knew everything about the Steroid era.

Metsfag here,

I remember the semi-shitstorm in the NYC sports media made about Zito followed by the extreme overspending/overcommitment by the Giants after '06.= season.

I fucking lol'd heartily when I read this thread.
