Oh, something that was not heroic:
The Giants fans cheering when it was clear that Cueto had to leave the game. No, they were not chreering politely "I'm glad he's ok." They were cheering that our game 1 starter had to leave the game with an injury. Keep it classy, San Fran.
And the commentator over on MLB tonight, Ron Gant, hit a dinger.Quote:

The more I think about it, the more huge this win is.

I agree, that was disgusting. It gave me flashbacks to when I was at PBS when Carson Palmer was hit by Kemo Von "Sleeps with the fishes" and 40% of the crowd that day stood around with Steeler jerseys and creepy, sadistic smirks on their faces while Palmer and the Bengals' postseason hopes swirled down the drain. I love West Coast baseball. I think it is different, and I like the Giants broadcasting team. But, I don't think this was the finest moment for a celebrated fanbase.Quote:

The long plane ride home is probably not going to be great either with back issues.
Hopefully send him home tomorrow, sleep in his own bed and get some good treatment.Quote:

It sounds like this may be a minor issue with Cueto. I wonder if it didn't freak him out since he said it hadn't happened before and maybe he overreacted, but then I'm glad he gave up the ball before giving up a big inning. I guess that was heroic also :D
Well, it not a tragedy if he is not available until game 4 or 5, or even the first game of the NLCS.Quote:
