Zito Jams Up SF Giants fans

It could be argued that Barry Zito jammed up the Giants for $126 million two years ago, but his newest venture cements his efforts to hand it to San Francisco.

Less than a month after the Giants season - a year in which Zito put up a pathetic 10-17 record, he's going to get his own billboard in SF. A model for a jeans company.

I'm all for athletes getting endorsements. The jean company claims to not even know who Zito is, but let's get to the real problem here: Giants fans want their $126M man on billboards representin' the orange and black. Or at least something to do with baseball. Instead, his 10-17 (21-30 overall) ass gets a billboard as a pretty boy jeans model.

Am I taking this one too personally as a Giants fan? I'm calling it Code 2.

BTW - thanks to our friend Front Office Boy for the Zito pic.
