08:13 AM ET 06.03 | Buster Posey's season-ending collision with Scott Cousins remains an emotional touchpoint in San Francisco, a view GM Brian Sabean made abundantly clear in a Thursday radio appearance. He called Cousins' targeted collision "malicious" and said he didn't blame Posey for refusing to return an apologetic phone call. "Why not be hard nosed?" Sabean said. "If I never hear from Cousins again or he never plays another game in the big leagues, I think we'll all be happy." Asked later in the interview if perhaps those words were too harsh, Sabean didn't back down. In fact, he left little doubt that the Giants are bent on getting some on-field vengeance. ... "We'll have a long memory. ... I'll put it as politically as I can state it: There's no love lost and there shouldn't be."

What a coward! That was a clean "baseball" play that had unfortunate results. There was no reason for Posey to be blocking the plate like that. Selig better send Sabean to the Minors before someone gets really hurt.

CHICAGO ??? During Monday???s pregame broadcast, TNT basketball analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley confirmed that there have been only three straight players in the history of the league: himself and two of his former Phoenix Suns teammates. "So there was me, obviously, Kevin Johnson, and I'm pretty sure Dan Majerle was mostly straight," said Barkley, adding that Wilt Chamberlain had sex with at least twice as many men as women. "George Mikan, Michael Jordan, Jerry West, the entire Detroit Pistons roster under Chuck Daley, Chuck Daley, James Worthy, which is a no-brainer once you meet the guy, Derrick Coleman, and everyone else???all card-carrying friends of Dorothy. I???ll say this, if you want to see gay in all its glory, enter an NBA locker room. There is no more gay-friendly place on earth.??? Barkley's controversial statement comes on the heels of another incident just two days earlier, when Kevin McHale, upon being asked about Joakim Noah's use of an antigay slur, responded by passionately kissing TNT commentator Kenny Smith until the channel broke to commercial.

Collissions at home plate are part of the game and have happened plenty of times. Just ask Pete Rose and what's his name who he collided with at home plate

Ray Fosse and he never was the same player afterward.
