Now what are the GIGANTES to do when Zito comes off the Books soon? They are paying Lincecum but what about Cain, Bumgarner, and Vogelsong when they are due?  It's a Nice Situation to be in why everyone is Happy them comes that "I need a New Deal" Stuff.

Santana continues to have Arm Issues as the Amazins' and Mets GM Sandy Alderson has shut him down again.

Sabathia, Verlander. Hernandez, and Lee have been as Advertised. Big "Z"-ambrano has been better than he ever was on the North Side and that's not taking a Shot at Cubs Fans because he needed to get out of Chi City. Zito a nice 5th Wheel for a loaded Gigantes Staff but not at that Whopping Price. Doc Halladay has been hurt all season for the Phils.
