Don't think we should be counting on anything from Carlos II tonight, at least while Zito is in the game.
Bad umpiring on a missed strike three, bad play by Beltran in going after the ball, bad throw by Gomez on the relay, 3-0 Giants.
Nice story by Darling about how Oakland didn't score much in Zito's 10 losses last year (although that's probably true of most pitchers' losses), but Zito's 1.46 WHIP, 1.5 K to BB ratio, and 1 HR given up every 8.2 innings last year, as well as his exceedingly mediocre performance so far this year, would seem to imply that he isn't a #1 pitcher, just like everyone was saying.
Anybody notice how dead the crowd seems, even though Barry has been up three times already? Could it be because the Mets have done nothing against Zito, I wonder? Obviously I win yesterday's argument, Yisman! :wink:
A little weird to hear Gary in particular getting on the Mets for the Mota signing. Not that I disagree with what he's saying but it would be nice if he took a few shots at Bonds too, rather then making excuses and saying that he was a HOF player even before the juice.
