| Giants GM spoke out on the Posey-Cousins collision. |
Giants General Manager Brian Sabean openly shared his feelings yesterday during a radio interview on KNBR of San Francisco, and absolutely ripped Florida Marlins outfielder Scott Cousins for his season-ending hit that left Posey with a broken leg and several torn ligaments in his ankle, saying the collision was "malicious".
One of the most interesting aspects of this whole story is that Posey is just as upset as Sabean--apparently, Posey has refused to return an apologetic phone call from Cousins.
Cousins has issued several apologizes and has faced serious criticism following the collision. According to ESPN.com, he has received several death threats and MLB's security department has been monitoring the situation.
I am looking forward to the next time the two teams match up because I have to think the Giants are surely going to enact some revenge against the Marlins and Cousins. Perhaps there will be a bench-clearing brawl- who doesn't love watching one of those in a baseball game?
The two teams play one another in a three-game series from August 12-14 in Florida.
Here is the story that was published by ESPN.com with all of Sabean's comments. But take a look below to see what Sabean had to say about the whole situation.
---"Why not be hard-nosed? If I never hear from Cousins again or he never plays another game in the big leagues, I think we'll be happy."
---"[Cousins] chose to be a hero, in my mind, and if that's his flash of fame, that's as good as it's going to get, pal. We'll have a long memory. Believe me, we've talked to [former catcher Mike] Matheny about how this game works. You can't be that out-and-out overly aggressive. I'll put it as politically as I can state it: There's no love lost and there shouldn't be."
