The real torture for Giants fans....

...is any game that Barry Zito pitches. He collapsed in the sixth and a 1-1 tie became a 4-1 deficit.

Bruce Bochy's leash on Zito cannot be short enough. He should be pulled at the first sign of trouble.
Thanks again for wasting $126 million on him, Brian Sabean. Here's how the Sickening Sixth went --

• Albert Pujols grounds out, shortstop Mike Fontenot to first baseman Brandon Belt.

• 2.Matt Holliday walks.

• Coaching visit to mound.

• 3.Allen Craig walks. Matt Holliday to 2nd.

• 4.David Freese doubles (2) on a line drive to left fielder Aubrey Huff. Matt Holliday scores. Allen Craig to 3rd.

• 5.Skip Schumaker doubles (2) on a fly ball to center fielder Aaron Rowand. Allen Craig scores. David Freese scores.

• Pitcher Change: Guillermo Mota replaces Barry Zito, batting 9th.

MY COMMENT -- Why is Zito still pitching after walking two? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?
