• Happy Zito Day: Will Giants Pitcher's Redemption Continue, Or Is It Too Good To Be True?

  Rather than delve into the schadenfreude of a man, with the name "Manny" who took female hormonal medication -- and tie that in to the impotence of the San Francisco Giants' bats -- today, let's look on the bright side of life. After all, it's Zito Day. And a Happy Zito Day to you. One month ago, if you'd told me that Barry Zito would pitch four straight stellar games, I'd have wondered what Double-A club he would be doing it for. But it's true.

It turns out, however, that the San Francisco Public Library was one step ahead of us. A portion of the Giants-centric exhibit is already slated to grace the

For those unfamiliar with the former, she's the 43-year-old, self-described "gorgeous tall buxom blonde" who insinuated on Craigslist she'd like tickets to root on her beloved Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series -- but didn't want to pay for them (not with money, at least).
