Robb, Oh Robb! Wherefore Art Thou?

So, Mando proves onnce again that win or lose, he's never going to be Nen. On the bright side, both Barys did well, and even though the offense was apathetic, great pitchinng bailes us out. Finally, we are at .500! Maybe this team isn't quite as bad as it looked 1½ weeks ago!

I completely pilfered this idea from Grant at McCovey Chronicles, so thank him, not me.

Zito's New Delivery

He used it in college. Now, though I can't pull up his college stats right now, but I think that whatever he did must have worked, since the A's drafted him #9 overall. Also, early on, he was a strikeout pitcher. Over the years, he has evolved into a finesse pitcher. That has become a bad thing, since it has made him one-dimensional and he only has one good pitch, the curve. Now, if this new motion can help him regain some of that long lost juice. However, the thing that has stuck to me most was a comment Ted Robinson made on KNBR yesterday. He said something to the general effect of that the journalists had nothing to write about, so they took a tiny little change and blew it up into something huge, because everyone wants to hear about a $128 signing more than Russ Ortiz battling for the 5th starter's spot, which will probably have a much greater impact of the Gigantes. Well said, Ted. Well said.
