Bip Roberts thinks Japan is another planet.....no Bip that's another continent.
Wow, Rowand's speed disgusted Bonds so much that he left?
You missed the memo?
Shit, dude, where have you been??
What do you guys think of a 6 man rotation? This staff has no real "ace" right now, so it's not like you'd be taking starts away from a winning pitcher and giving them to a scrub.
Nice pick japanese guy.
Official scorer changed Crawford's second error to a hit, so VSong gave up one earned run.
Imagine if you lost Mauer and Morneau for the year...that's what we're dealing with.

Devil's advocate: Vogs could very well be considered an ace. In fact, if he throws 7.0 innings next time out with 3 or less earnies, he'll be leading the majors in ERA.
Looks like they are giving it a shot...Zito scheduled to pitch Tuesday vs the Cubs. I can't imagine anyone getting dropped from the rotation.
Giants' Barry Zito raves about Triple-A catcher
I guess the start is for a doubleheader so maybe it's not for a 6 man rotation...
But Zito had very strong and nice words for his AAA catcher Sanchez...maybe he can be called up? Can he be any worse than what we have now?
Well, they got a doubleheader, so everyone is on normal rest. We'll see what happens after that. Interestingly, the Whitesox have gone to a six man rotation. They say their starters pitch better with the extra day.
I wouldn't be shocked if Bochy went to a six man rotation. Further, it could showcase Zito for a possible (I know, remotely so) trade where we eat 1/2 the contract. I'd hate to see Song, Cainer, and Bum get fewer starts (and Timmy too once he reverts to his Freakness form).
On another note: we have one too many arms when Zito comes back. Boch can go with 13 pitchers for a little bit, but how about:
Mota to the A'ss for Ellis. Proposed roster:
C: Whitey, Stewart (until ChezIII is ready)
IF: Huff, Ellis, Craw, Panda, Fonty, MigE6/Hall (Burriss to AAA, Hall/MigE6 cut)
OF: Ross, Torres, Nate, Belt, MST/PTB (MST traded or PTB cut)
SP: Tim, ChezII, Cainer, Bum, Song
RP: Weez, Romo, Lopez, Affeldt, Casilla, RamRam, Zito
I think Zito could be used as a LOOGY/long guy/spot starter. I know that he's not done this in his career but IIRC he's open to pitching "wherever the Giants need me."
