Barry Zito. League-leading. Wins?
Wait, what? Nope, that headline’s not a typo, dude. The Giants left-hander will try for this third win of the Cactus League season when San Francisco (8-4-2) visits the Seattle Mariners (10-3) tonight at Peoria Sports Complex at 7:05 p.m. (PT).
Erasmo Ramirez (1-0, 0.00) will take the hill for the M’s.
Zito (2-0, 3.60) is tied for the major league lead with two wins so far this spring. (And, there’s <a title="Huffington Post: "Pink Slime For School Lunch: Government Buying 7 Million Pounds Of Ammonia-Treated Meat For Meals"" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/05/pink-slime-for-school-lun_n_1322325.html" target="_blank">pink slime in your kids’ school lunch…what’s this world coming to?)

Pre-game notes: Also scheduled to pitch in tonight’s game are Shane Loux, Santiago Casilla, Heath Hembree, Matt Yourkin, Wilmin Rodriguez, and Steve Edlefsen … Manager Bruce Bochy‘s son, Brett Bochy (a 20th round draft pick in 2010), is on the list of relievers traveling with the Giants to Peoria … Ryan Vogelsong says he feels great after yesterday’s 50-pitch bullpen session. He will throw to live hitters as soon as Saturday and then work on pitchers fielding practice … Matt Cain‘s contract situation is still unresolved, but let’s not freak out, people. <a title="22gigantes.com: "Oh the drama! Matt Cain still hasn't signed...so what."" href="http://22gigantes.com/2012/03/oh-the-drama-matt-cain-still-hasnt-signed-so-what.html" target="_blank">Read why I think there’s some serious drama going on in the Arizona desert right now …
