The hot topic of discussion going into the playoffs for San Francisco Giants fans has been whether Barry Zito should be included on the playoff roster. For those who don’t know, left-handed starting pitcher Barry Zito is the highest paid Giant. He signed a 7-year $126 million contract in 2007. Zito also happens to be the worst pitcher on the team. So when it comes down to paring down the current 40-man roster to 25 players for the playoffs, it’s possible that the highest paid player on the team won’t make the playoff squad.
This is all prelude to one of the funniest things I’ve read recently on a Giants fan site. In response to a female fan’s comment that Zito would feel terrible if he was left off the team, another fan responded, “Zito’s got like a gazillion dollars; he don’t need feelings.”

1) That is pretty funny
2) Giants fan site? Really? With so much free time, shouldn't you be out there tearing down chicken coops?
Chicken-and-laser man got fired by Lawrence Livermore Lab and, I've heard, got deported by the feds. He's Austrian or German. The feds saved us the trouble of tearing down the chicken coops.
So that's freed up my time to think about The Freak, Kung Fu Panda, Bum (aka Mad Bum), Sanchy, Huff Daddy, Pat the Bat (aka "The Patural"), The Beard, and the rest of the Giants crew.
Update: Playoff roster released this morning. Zito is not on the roster. (Hooray!) But Poop-Squat made the roster. (Shit!)
I imagine LASER-wielding chickens would have eventually freed themselves anyway. BTW, your list of Giants reads like the credits for a gay porno.
Yeah, most sports nicknames can work as gay porno names, e.g., "Hammerin'" Hank Aaron, George "Babe" Ruth, "The Big Unit" (Randy Johnson), etc.
