Yahoo: Zito returns to starting rotation against Pirates

So that the Giants can employ my favorite useless strategy:

Starting Zito on Wednesday allows Bochy to slot a left-hander, Pat Misch (0-0), between right-handers Matt Cain (1-2) and Tim Lincecum (4-1). Misch, who was to have started Wednesday, will start Friday against the Phillies, with Lincecum going Saturday.

“Oh mommy, the Giants are going to switch from a lefty to a righty. How will Utley and Howard sleep at night?”

I'm glad Zito was given time to work out his problems in the bullpen.

Alternatively, they could have slotted Zito between Cain and Lincecum. Unless Zito's no longer considered a LHP.

Yeah really, what was the point? Embarrass him? I guess he can't say he's "never missed a start" any more.

Stupid Giants.

The City of Pittsburgh thanks you!

If only Kevin Correia hadn't gotten hurt.

I think the world of baseball in general thanks you. This Barry Zito phenomenon is hilarious.

Why not? he still hasn't missed a start

So if he does well against the Pirates, do you think they'll bring him back up to the majors?
