The Giants put Barry Zito on the 15 day disabled list tonight. They said he re-hurt his foot.

Does this seem screwy or what? I mean, they needed to find a place for Zito. There was talk they might release him — you wish. Or send him to the minors. Or keep 13 pitchers — no way.

And now, out of the blue, he’s too hurt to pitch. This seems very convenient, almost like a miracle. It resolves the dilemma for the Giants.

Hey, I’m all for dumping Zito any way the Giants can, and if I were running the team I’d try to convince him his foot hurts real bad.

Don’t you think that’s what the Giants did? Or do you think his tootsie is really killing him?
