Dear national sports media media, each of you writing your own overly intellectualized piece on Buster Posey,

I, a San Francisco Giants fan, understand that Scott Cousins did not break any rule.

I understand that there are decades of precedent of physical plays at the plate.

I am not a moron.

I do not want Cousins suspended, fined, or reprimanded in any way. I do not want him to die.

Most of you preface your arguments with statements to the effect of, “We feel bad for Buster” and, “what happened was horrible,” and that is exactly the point.

What happened was horrible and I have spent every moment since it happened wishing it had not and feeling sick.

Every time you click send on your jackass articles about how the play was “clean” or that “that’s baseball,” that sickening feeling in me is refreshed like someone pressing replay on a DVD of ‘Requiem for a Dream.’

You are not wrong.  You are too loud.

Please shut your mouth.

Sincerely,

A Giants Fan
