Tom Tolbert Disses D Wizzle's World - Thursday News and Notes - August 13

• Many readers have mentioned  that Tom Tolbert of KNBR ripped on me today on his radio show. His listeners also did the same. Don't hate me Tom because YOU were the one that made the racial slur. Here at D Wizzle's World, we just report the facts and news.  A lot of readers said you should be fired and are very angry at you.  That is your fault.  You have lost a lot of fans.
• Another reader said that Tolbert  immediately apologized  after he said his racial slur. If anyone has tape of that so called "apology" I would like to hear it. What constitutes an apology these days anyways?  I did not recall  or hear an apology at all. 
• The Giants continue their losing ways by getting swept by  surging Astros. 
• Barry Zito is on pace to lose 20 games. Do you really think the Giants will let him start another game after he loses #19 sometime next month?
• 1B John Bowker got sent to the minors FINALLY.  This guy was great for two weeks and then got into a huge batting slump once teams knew how to pitch to him.  He could be another Lance Niekro, Damon Minor, and J.R. Phillips. Will Clark, he is not.
• The Dodgers are really pushing Arizona in the NL West for first place. Arizona's strength is their two aces, Brandon Webb and Dan Haren. Adam Dunn will help this team offensively just as Manny Ramirez has for the Dodgers. Both are great home run hitters and terrible in the outfield.
• Milwaukee has a good record in spite of Ned Yost. The Brewers' manager is one of the worst in the majors. How will he survive next year without prehaps  CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets? They are both free agents after this season.
