2008's been a bad year for Barry Zito. A 4-12 record, a 5.73 ERA and no run support from the Giants. But it just got worse - Fathead put his wall poster on clearance.

It's no secret that Zito lost his "mojo" when he signed with the Giants. However, can Peterson really help Zito? The answer is yes. The Giants need to get Chuck Woolery to mediate the deal and make this love connection work!

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

Giants ace Barry Zito is turning into the worst signing in history, and the Giants are going to try and find a new ace. Erik Bedard is available and under contract so he would be a somewhat cheap upgrade for the Giants. Bedard is 4-4 this season with a 3.97 ERA in thirteen games, but would   more...
