Holy Sweep!

"Ace" Barry Zito leads the Giants to a sweep of Randy Johnson and the first-place D'Bags to cap a 6-3 road trip.

Let the record show that Orange Black and Blue takes absolute full entire credit for that. You can be sure that Warm Fuzzy Zito Feeling Email Writing Campaign (don't you like the ring of that?) will be back.

That being said, I suppose these guys helped:

Macho Man Randy Winn: Two homers, including one off a previously perfectly dominant (and record-tying) Big Unit in the fourth, and then off Chad "You're Breaking My" Qualls for the go ahead run in the ninth. His first homer from the left side this year. Off a guy who doesn't really give up homers. To the opposite field. To double his HR total for the year.

If you called that, I'm laying my Belmont bet down soon, so I'd love to get your input.

Aaron Rowand: Did you see that full extension catch? Absolutely disgustingly sick. The #4 hitter in the National League (with Big Money nipping at his heels at #5) was, dare I say, a great Sabean signing?

Brian Wilson: First pitch strikes, ridiculously unfair sliders and no BS in an 8 pitch save. I'll take that every time, Robb.

And finally...

Barry Zito: Warm fuzzy feelings = quality starts. You need any more proof?

For the record, he (or one of his minions) wrote back:

Thanks man.
Appreciate your support. Great win for our team!

What were you expecting, Shakespeare? Classy, though.

- The good guys face their second legend in a row tonight. Unlike the Big Wet Rat, the Farting Professor has completely pwn3d the G's throughout his long career.

- A fluff piece with some interesting tidbits has given rise to a new OBnB stupid nickname: HinShawn Carter.

Comment THIS: Did Zito write you back? Will you ever doubt OBnB's powers again? And also, can the Giants keep up this run against the hapless Friars?
