I’m writing this just after Madison Bumgarner’s totally inept outing in the top of the first vs. the Twins, 8 runs, 8 hits in a row, good grief. So, I have a question. How do you rank Giants’ starting pitchers as they are currently performing? Here’s my ranking.

Cain

Vogelsong

Lincecum

Sanchez

Bumgarner

Is Zito better than any of these guys at this moment? I never thought I’d ask that.

My wife, Mrs. Cohn Zohn wonders if Buster Posey’s absence has affected the pitching staff.
