Peterson to Giants?!

Scuttlebutt around the league has the Giants signing Rick Peterson as a special consultant to work with BARRY ZITO on his woeful season.  Peterson was fired as pitching coach with the New York Mets at the same time they fired Manager Willie Randolph and almost the entire coaching staff.  Peterson was a private pitching coach for Zito prior to his big league career, as well as pc in Oakland during most of Zito's stay there...Barry fell to 2-11, as he gave up 5 runs in two innings versus Detroit on Wednesday.  It was the second shortest outing of his career.  Now what I really think: It burns me up when fans are yelling all these insults at Zito when he under-performs.  I am in a habit at yelling back At them: "So you could do better?"  Quiets them for a few seconds...Some have even suggested that his woes, mainly his arm speed, have come from not using the juice.  I saw Barry Zito in Sacramento about 5 weeks before he was called up to Oakland.  I could tell then he had it.  He ovepowered 'em...I cannot believe that he was juicing.  Of course that is the response in the mind of man to all player's problems, at least the ones that have played in the past 7 years...One step ahead, two steps back...The story of the Giants this year, win one, lose two...Scores: Monday, 8-6 Giants; Tuesday, 5-1 Tigers; Wednesday, 7-2 Tigers...G-men have some good young players, they just haven't gelled yet as a team.  The two past road trips have been winning ones...Home records is in the toilet...C'mon guys. With the Giants, they seem to be either really good, or really bad, there doesn't seem to be any in-between.  Three in KC beginning Friday evening; Three in Cleveland, Tuesday through Thursday, then back for their final interleague games of the year with the A's in Oakland, their away series when they get to go home every night...No posts for about a week, I am getting married on June 21st and will be honeymooning until next Saturday.  Back a few days after that...Good readin' and good rootin'.!  June 20th, 2008
