A couple of night's ago, I caught an episode of Showtime's "The Chris Isaak Show", where the special guest star was Barry Zito.

Now if you haven't caught the Isaak show, let me say that it's one of my favorite guilty pleasures. It seems to be made pretty cheaply and doesn't do anything particularly artistic, but there's something special about the show.

To me, Isaak was born in the wrong decade, as if he would have been born in the 50's, he would have given Elvis a run for his money, as Chris has a terrific voice and has a great rhythm delivering comedy lines that Elvis never even came close to. To be as good-looking as Isaak and as talented and be a veritable unknown to most of the public, just shows that in our American Idol culture, real talent is out there, it just doesn't have a handy format to fit in on the Clear Channel controlled radio stations.

On to Zito, he was really good on the show, not like your Dodgers on "The Munsters" or almost any guest appearance an athlete did on "Arliss." If you haven't seen the episode, Zito discusses why he doesn't want to sex it up with Zola (Isaak's sexy manager), as he has to pitch tomorrow and he wants to control his fluid management.

Maybe this might explain Zito's down year this season. Is he not controlling his fluid release? I know Will has studied all types of pitchers releases, but here might be another medical theory to test.
