Zito goes down......

Well the good news is Barry is out of the starting rotation.........the bad news??? Visions of Armando Benitez flutter through my brain as I imagine the Giants clinging to leads only to watch them evaporate faster than box of Slim Jims on Rosie O'Donnells night stand. This is not a good idea.

Attendance is down 15% from last year, and the press box is much emptier now that all the 400 or so members of the press don't show up to follow Bonds every day. No one rents kayaks anymore or even buys rubber chickens to taunt opposing players...
