Barry Zito should just retire.

[lakerboy]

Guy is a joke. Getting hammered again.

[Rich Boy]

Guy is just like Lackey, guaranteed team total OVER

[Bluehorseshoe]

And give up that ridiculous contract? No chance.

[LLXC]

Can only dream he pulls a Gil Meche...

[Nookx]

All you gotta do is bet the over.

[jwbama23]

he seems like a pretty soft feminine type when I watch that show the franchise

[bettilimbroke999]

If you were getting around 20 mil a year to pitch would you quit?

[bettilimbroke999]

All you gotta do is bet the over.

It would be smarter just to bet on the other team, remember the Giants are probably only gonna score 1 or 2 with a guy like Cueto on the mound, that 3 run first inning essentially ended the game early imo, congrats Reds

winning call

[jjgold]

Guy had such an overrated career

[BestPlay2day]

And give up that ridiculous contract? No chance.

This, no matter how much he sucks he's getting a ton of money from that long term contract. 7 years $126 million guarantees he's getting paid until end of 2013 season.

[tcmoody99]

they should try to buy him out, **** it. use that money from world series

[vyomguy]

why would he retire when he is stealing 18 million dollars per year for doing basically nothing.

[laclippers504]

Don't like this guy. Not his fault he got the contract....I even applaud himself from a business standpoint getting such a massive deal BUT.....the guy is weak....self centered and much more about himsef than the team.

[HoulihansTX]

Best fade in the NL.

Hope he pitches until until his arm falls off.

[beach nut]

He has gone down hill ever since he signed his big contract with SF.

[eidolon]

They should just make him bounce around in the minors until he hates life.

[BigDan]

this

[pavyracer]

Why should he retire? They pay him millions to play.

[bettilimbroke999]

Honestly I think the move to SF helped destroy Zitos pitching, he has always been a pitcher that is incredible with a lead, he is 111-6 lifetime when receiving 4 runs of support or more which is fuckin incredible (they didnt offer him 120 mil for 7 years for nothing), but with a team like SF I think he pitches like shit bc of something psychological

As bad as Zito was today who cares, the Giants didnt score a fuckin run, they could've had Halladay on the mound and it wouldnt have made any difference

[smitch124]

Somebody needs to resprain his foot when he's not looking

[speaker]

biggest bust ever??

[8ArIvd5]

Somebody needs to resprain his foot when he's not looking

not til sanchez gets back

[BernardMadoff]

He's making 18.5 mil this year Id keep stealing money if I were him.

[Tilt360]

if i sign that contract i would pitch till my arm is dead. Why would anyone give up that contract.

[homosayswhat]

I LOVE THE LONG TERM CONTRACT..hahaha

good....glad to see it...owners deserve more Zitos

[gangeriver]

he should not retire, I fade him and make some money

(when manny parra come back? I miss him)

[Killer_Demo]

as a SFG fan he needs to go...he is useless

[bigsmitty]

As a sports fan in general I don't know why more GM's and coaches don't do this. Send a guy to the minors to absolutely grind in hellish crap and the word would go around like wildfire. Can think of many that deserve such treatment...

Doing something tonight. !!!

Planet Zito is quirky, but he's one of the all time great 2H pitchers. Also 125-7 lifetime when he gets 4+ runs.

Oh, and this too:

"He created the charity Strikeouts for Troops, to which he donates $400 for every strikeout he throws. The charity benefits hospitals for soldiers wounded in military operations. In 2010, Zito announced that he would donate $1,500 for every strikeout in the Giants-Padres game on September 11. There were a total of 14 strikeouts in the game"

[easyliving]

how about that outing?

[lakerboy]

Big deal.

[tatddy]

Doesn't matter, LB didn't lose money on it.
