Kudos to the Giants for signing Baked Ziti, $126 million well spent!
The people that think the Giants are stupid for signing Zito are straight up WHACK! Can you say jealous or just plain retarded?
Do people not realize how insanely durable Zito is? Six straight years of 200+ innings. Ya, Johan Santana is a more dominate pitcher (even though Zito outpiched Santana in the playoffs), but Santana throws 95 MPH, which means he is more likely to suffer a major arm injury.
A pitcher that is injured cannot help his team win games!
Plus look at pitchers like Kenny Rogers, Tom Glavine and Jamie Moyer who are having career years in their late 30's and early 40's.
Zito is such a crafty and consistent left-handed pitcher he should not only finish out his seven-year contract, but pitch in his 40's as well. Zito has yet realized his full potential and this cool cat is only going to get better with age. Being only 28-years old I say Zito has AT LEAST 12 good years.
If Glavine can do it, why can't Zito? His pure "stuff" his better.
BTW, I just bought Ron Artest's debut rap album My World
Dude is sick, pretty good for a "non-professional" rapper. I suggest you all buy this lyrical masterpiece. Much better then Allen Iverson's rap album and anything that Shaq put out in Kazaam.
I was born in sunny California and was raised in Norman Oklahoma. I am a big time Oakland Raiders and Oklahoma Sooners fan, which is very tough considering we are ALWAYS #### by the referees. My other favorite pro teams are the LA Lakers and the San Francisco Giants.
