Opening Day Starter
Barry Zito was named the starter for opening day and of course everyone is upset because Matt Cain had a better year and everybody feels he deserves it. Note to all those people, what does it matter? Never has the opening day result translated into success at the end of the year and i'm guessing that even though Zito starts game 1, then Cain will start game 2. What does this mean? It means that Zito will face the other team's ace for about a month, and then when all the rotations are whacked out of order, it will be meaningless. Also, Cain will still make his 30 odd starts. It also means that Cain will face the other teams #2. If we're already claiming Cain as the ace then he should pitch us to 33 wins against weaker talent. Of course this isn't the case, so please people just stop complaining about it. The rotation isn't something we should worry about.
