Barry Zito. ’nuff said.

Boy, it must suck to be Barry Zito right about now. Only a few years ago Zito was the talk of the baseball — a 23 game winner in 2002 who had always shown himself to be a quality starter — and now, in 2008, he’s done something that hasn’t been done by… by… *sigh* Mike Maroth in 2003.
What such feat is this? Barry Zito has gone 0-for-April, taking on six losses this month. For the record — he’s lost more games this month than he did in all of 2002.
So what is Barry’s problem? Could he be injured? Maybe. Could it be mechanical? Probably. But what if he’s washed up? Nah. It’s too early to think that. But I will say this about Barry Zito — he needs to get his act in order before he starts being mentioned with Mike Maroth more often this season.
