Props to Zito - but will it be enough?

[CameronFrye]

Bending his leg is only part of the solution .... they now have to move the mound in about 30 feet 6 inches and raise it about 18 inches. That should give him the appearance of another 2-3 miles on his fast ball. Of course every other major league club would have to accept the condition that this new 'mound architecture' can and will only be used by Barry 'my mound' Zito.

The closest correlation would be if we were all golfing and he was using the women's tees at the local muni course....

Wouldn't he have to pitch the entire game with his balls out? I don't see MLB complying with that one... for good reason.

Actually there is something about not getting it past the women's tee .... makes the next shot rather interesting .....

Mad rep!

Also repped.

Sadly, one of the reasons I rarely golf

Ah - one of my most embaressing golfing moments ... and there are many many many to chose from .... teeing off on one the back-nine hole at a local NY golf course. Remember it like yesterday. It was a par 3. I stood about 5 feet behind the tee box markers (big white golf balls) also a little to the right side. Proceeded to 'crush' the ball. Very low and pulled hard to the left. Hit the tee marker on it's rear right side. The ball must have traveled at least 30 - 50 yards behind where I was standing in the tee box. Actually came to rest in one of the courses many flower gardens. I'm guessing this section of the course had never seen a golf ball ....! For those of you that like golf ... find a paperback called 'Missing Links' .... one of the funniest books I have ever had the enjoment of reading

Exactly. As I qualified with "fifth starter."

I'm saying that he would be a top fifth starter if you didn't consider his salary. But if you do, well then he's the worst fifth starter in the league.

I am tired, it was a long week maybe I am

Love the old story about Arnold Palmer, when asked by a reporter how he got a 13 on a hole, Palmer reputedly answered, "I missed my putt for 12."

Dude. Chill. He is bending his leg more. What else do you want from him?

Some effort would be nice.

It probably is him, but this post is the only one of the 5 so far that reek of his douchiness. The others have been benign.

He'll get his if it's warranted.

Oops. Didn't realize that criticizing Zito was taboo here. He gets hammered regularly over on the Giants MLB board. Sometimes it does seem like Zito is just not giving his best effort.; that the 128 mil contract took some motivation out of him. Happens all the time in professional sports.

God damn it, you just can't help your sad self.

WE can criticize whoever we want. YOU can't, because of how creepy and lame you are.

Why. Don't. You. Stay. The. Fuck. Away?

Seriously, what the FUCK is your problem, Nolan?

filo, please do the honors...and if I recall we can have him banned on the 49ers board too?

 

[msgkings322]

Wow! Cursing is allowed on this board? Then by all means "fuck you". And who the fuck is Nolan?

Your whining about me questioning Zito's motivation makes you sound like a little bitch.

Awesome. You suck at this.

I'm starting to feel a little sorry for you, compelled to keep coming here under different aliases so you can be abused and banned over and over. But only a little.

So anyhoo, fuck off. Banning on the way, I hope it's the last time. And hopefully you will be banned from this site entirely.

I've said what I had to say to you mate. We're done.

Check your sarcasm meter or go away no matter who you are or claim to be. We were criticizing Zito. No one has not criticized Zito in almost a decade. He, as well as us, are aware of his failings. Does it really matter how or why he sucks when the end result is the same? That is why you are a douche. You state the obvious as some great insight, have no sense of humor, and then are combative about your blatant, boring comment that brings nothing to the discussion. It's the worst combination of lack of knowledge and self-importance to ever "grace" a message board. Get a hobby.

 

[Heathbar012]

Why all the offense taken?

No offense, whatsoever. "I've said what I had to say to you mate. We're done."

It's a message board, luv. People are going to be a little more free with their thoughts here than they would be in normal discourse. Don't take it to heart.
