Dear San Francisco Giants,Thank you for signing Barry Zito. He keeps me entertained on my lunch breaks. Today your 100+ million dollar man gave up countless hits, walked the bases loaded and had 4 earned runs. Please keep him around so we can see him go defeated. Sincerely,Pelechati

San Francisco Giants "ace" pitcher Barry Zito is continuing to struggle in his second year with the team. This is something that is definitely a head scratcher as Zito was almost always on point in his days with the Oakland Athletics. Some argue its the money, but I don't buy that, players may   more...

We here at the Sports Muffin love Barry Zito. We think he's Zito-rific. But we're sad to see that Barry's been missing from the San Francisco Giants in recent days.

Who's hot, who's not in Major League Baseball? We'll get you started with a sizzler named Mike Cameron. After being suspended for the first 25 games, Cameron is back, and has a starting job (as he should). For those owners (like myself) who took a chance on Cameron, knowing that he was suspended   more...

The Phillies were dominated by the best pitcher in baseball, Brandon Webb, in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. Webb pitched a complete game, giving up six hits, to improve his record to 8-0 on the season. The Phillies were shut down most of the way but managed to scrape out two runs in the   more...

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.

Would you be happy with a 5-2 record on a 7 game roadie? I would be be. And I'm pretty sure the Phils would be too, because they went into PNC on Sunday and played the final game of their trip like they couldn't wait take their 5 wins and head back to Philly.Some credit must go to southpaw Paul   more...

I think they should let the guy surf, do yoga, call Alyssa Milano, whatever it takes to get his head back in to the game.
