Low Scoring Giants

Joe Torre's Dodgers career gets off to a good start as his squad shuts out the hapless Giants 5-0. San Francisco managed five hits and three walks in the game, but none of the hits were for extra bases. Three of those base runners were removed, however, with two caught stealings and a double play.

Zito disappointed again, giving up eight hits during his five innings. He only struck out one, and the Dodgers were 8 for 21 on balls in play against Barry, .381. I'm afraid this game is just an example of things to come for the Giants.

On a nostalgic note, Scott Proctor got in the game for the Dodgers, threw six pitches, five of them for balls, walking one and recording one out. That will take take Yankees fans down memory lane.

Zito's (flat) fastball tops out around 84 miles per hour. Hell, he's not even the #1 starter on this pathetic exemplar of the '62 Mets. Maybe the Giants will be so bad that Magowan, Bochy, AND Sabean will now go away.

Ethier winning the starting job in left over Pierre may well be the single most important event that has happened to the Dodgers since they clinched the 1988 World Series. Somehow, in spite of the stupendously idiotic decisions that Dodgers' management has made in the last few years, they're actually putting a team on the field this seasonthat might be able to win . I'll actually be able to enjoy watching the Dodgers this year.

Um, excuse me--got something in my eye.

If Zito can stay healthy he's got a good chance to lose 20 this year
