So this is just exactly what you want happening, scant hours before opening your World Championship defense ...
Giants’ Barry Zito Involved in Auto Accident
Tuesday morning, San Francisco Giants left-hander Barry Zito was involved in a two-car accident not far from his Los Angeles-area home. Henry Schulman (via SFGate):
Lt. Ana Brackpool, a watch commander, told The Chronicle that Zito was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles with unknown injuries. A person who alerted The Chronicle to the accident said it was his understanding Zito was not seriously injured, though he was assisted out of his car by fire personnel. A source said he left the hospital and went home shortly after.
Zito's scheduled to start against the Dodgers on Sunday, in the Giants' fourth game. Which is actually something of a coup for Zito, who finished the 2010 season as the Giants' fifth-best starter ... and with a huge gap between himself and the Giants' fourth-best starter.
We don’t know yet if he’ll be scratched from Sunday’s game, but the Giants do not have a great deal of depth in their organization, and Bruce Bochy won’t be thrilled when he wakes up the news this morning.
