Did the SF Giants put the Kibosh on Sabean/Posey on its flagship radio station? KNBR 'Razor and Mr T' go silent

Listened belatedly for an hour.

Not a word. Nothing. Nada. "Adios muchacho", as the Ameci seller likes to say, (along with his 14,323 "two things can be mutually exclusive" utterances)

When you milk a story like this for the amount of times Knibber/Razor and Moi T did, you then find it damn unusual that R and Mr. T don't even mention it, either directly or indirectly. They didn't even talk about Sabean's semi-mea culpa or Posey's letter.

Don't be surprised if the Giants, (read: Baer) "kindly requested" that la-affair la Sabean/Posey/Cousins be 86ed from the afternoon stars. Remember, the boys at 24 Willie Mays Plaza RUN THE SHOW over there at 55 Hawthorne. What Baer wants and expects, he usually gets.

My gut says that the Giants, who are about as PR savvy as the best, made it a point to tell the leader, indirectly, perhaps, that enough was enough. Forget for a moment, it was R and Mr. T that the forklempta was born. They fucking broke the story! The fact that pizza guy didn't challenge Sabean is another story.

Two things CAN be mutually exclusive: One, that an incendiary series of statements by a well-regarded GM of a beloved baseball team, can be uttered about the masses....and that, second: those utterances and the ensuing bad vibes they caused, and further inflamed by knibber and its tools, were ordered by beloved team's top brass to "cool it."

Again, they.didn't say. a. word. Humn....

This isn't Watergate stuff. And it wouldn't be the first time that the Giants either directly and/or indirectly told its primary broadcast partner, (KNBR, it should be noted, owns 5% of the team,) to put the mute button on a particularly negative incident.

We have no proof other than a few interesting e-mails, but it does bring up some overt coincidence(s.) For one, as much as the Giants would like to quash all the bad post-Posey/Sabean buzz, the story still had legs; it dominated Raddy's show once again with a plethora of calls and a 20-minute phono with Lowell Cohn.

And it still reverberated over the weekend with comments from Johnny Bench and the ESPN water-cooler arena. The Gate was all over it again too, Monday, (today.)

Nobody will ever know for now, but I have a gut feeling. And if you read this site, you already know.
