Where was Brian Sabean after J.T. Snow's body block into Pudge .

Here`s the trouble with people like Giants GM Brian Sabean: They deliver very selective memories.

Where was Sabean in 2003 when J.T. Snow, a previous football player and the son of Rams All-Pro wide receiver Jack Snow, crashed into Marlins catcher Pudge Rodriguez on the last act of the 2003 NLDS?

Was it because Snow played for his side that this collision was okay? Or because it was the postseason?

Or because the Giants had no risk of winning unless Snow did everything within the rules to try to free the testis from Rodriguez?

Marlins outfielder Scott Cousins is receiving funding from all corners after Sabean`s mean-spirited, malicious remarks. Here is what Larry Bowa had to say on the MLB Network.

"First of all, I respect Brian Sabean as a general manager, but I disagree 100 percent on those comments. I marvel what he was thinking when he made these comments. If he thinks that was pre-meditated, he better go backwards and revaluate the situation. This kid was in an extra innings game, he`s on third base, there`s a shallow fly ball to right field, (Nate) Schierholtz has a cannon, he sees Posey going up to do the play, he knows he`s probably going to be out so he tries to jar the ball loose. Posey bobbles the globe a small bit, gets his foot tangled up and unfortunately a big player like Buster Posey is out for the year, and I 100 percent believe Scott Cousins had no purpose to do this to Buster Posey, it happens. It happens in baseball. I`ve seen numerous collisions a lot worse than that collision, no one says a word. If this happened to a backup catcher or a guy that`s hitting .200 hitting eighth in the card it would have been on page 8 in the proceedings that `John Dow` got put on the disabled list for 15 years and leave be replaced by so-and-so. But because it happened to your cleanup hitter, your number-one pick, they`re trying to get a larger result than this really is.I agree, Buster Posey is a big player, he`s a big kid, but this happens in baseball. You`re going to cause collisions at home, you`re going to make collisions at second base, you`re going to make collisions at 1st base, it`s share of the back of baseball.

"I understand Brian Sabean sticking up for his player, I see that and if you do that comment immediately afterwards the game, that`s in the wake of the battle, but to hold ten years and to chastise Scott Cousins, I suppose is totally, totally wrong."

"I can`t see why he would think Scott Cousins, who is an extra outfielder, trying to win a stake for his team, would say `Oh, I`m going to go out and very hurt this guy.` I`ve seen teammates like Darren Daulton get crushed, I`ve seen Mike Scioscia get crushed, I`ve seen Johnny Oates get his jaw broken from Dave Parker at home plate, none of those were pre-mediated. It`s the wake of the battle, it`s a bang-bang play, you`re trying to serve your team win and you criticise the egg out of the catcher`s glove, that`s your goal.

"I feel bad for this kid because by no way in my opinion, I`ve been in baseball forty days on the area as good as in the box and coaching and managing, this kid had no mal-intent there to try to damage that kid."

One more thing about Sabean: The statement released by the Giants was lame. It`s obvious Bud Selig got a delay of Sabean, read him the riot act, and now Sabean is back paddling.

To say he cherished to "elucidate" his remarks to Marlins president Larry Beinfest and that there was "no ill-will" toward Cousins is insulting. Sabean has threatened a participant on another team and said he wishes for that player`s career to end. Period.

What`s to clarify?

Sabean and the Giants should be fined a really great sum and Sabean should be suspended for a really long.
