Thought that last start against Cleveland was a sign? Think again. Barry Zito was roughed up for five funs on six hits and five walks over five innings in a 9-2 home loss against the Chicago Cubs.

San Francisco Giant relief pitcher Vinnie Chulk was designated for assignment today.

Chulk, 29, was roughed up once again on Sunday, contributing in an 11-10 loss at the hand of Kansas City. Chulk has stated that he will decline a trip back to the minors, which means he will ultimately become a free agent, unless the Giants can trade him, which won’t happen.

I say good riddance. The writing was on the wall with Chulk from the beginning.
