that's why you can't simply "throw out" one start or another from a pitcher's game log to make him look better or worse.

as far as Zito, it's true, he still didn't pitch a genuine SHO against the Mariners (at least not this year) but his numbers against them are worth like he did it 2 or 3 times.
47.1 IP and 9 ER for an E.R.A. of 1.72 the last two years and .45 E.R.A. in 20 IP this season.

as far as Lowe, I also don't trust him at all.
