he was able to make it through the night. we were not so sure yesterday after the evening. but he is a fighter. he has participated in triathlons, it is very fit. >> his lungs have never faced a greater challenge, the 53 role firefighter and paramedic remains unconscious after injuring a flash over expos yesterday at the diamond heights fire. >> they are keeping him medical the paralyzed to help his breathing. if he moves a little bit, it will enter him. they put him in a bid that will help to relieve the pressure of his chest on his lungs. the news is pretty dire right now, but we still have no idea whether it will go one way or the other. >> the valerio family tries to stay optimistic his other family, the firefighters are most stopping by the hospital and some house starting their net shift.

catchers hands, the play was clean. at the ballpark vern glenn with kron4 sports. >> good research there, of course if posy his leg did not get trapped, we would not still be talking about this, here is cousins response today. he is from the bay area crew of a giants fan, i hope and believe his comments were made in the heat of the moment and were based on more for his fondness for buster posey than on any animosity towards me. she nobody outside of buster feels worse about his injury and i do. the giants without anyone signing it sent out a press release with in the past hour and basically again come when no one signs it, that says they're not to convince that brian was in the right. so they're not saying that he was a wrong, but certainly if this press release did not back up his words. now the controversy found its way into the boston red sox game tonight.

the 25th man on the team, this is a guy that it is trying to earn the respect of his teammates. i think there should be some form of a rule, but the only reason i did not know, unless you have the ball in your hands the cannot block the plate, their different ways to go. i would just say this in a nice way, if the shoe was on the other foot and buster posey have gone into the florida marlins, and injured him, would we be talking about it? i think it is a regional thing because so many people like buster posey so much, but if you take a step back and take a deep red, i think you'll understand it is hard for me to believe that the kid from florida did it on purpose. to me, that is the bottom line. >> let us move on, you keep saying that the giants do not have many stars, have you forgotten that they're defending champions? >> when did they win? i did not even remember that. no seriously, they won last year because of pitching.

but it all grief of, and we had a pre home runs last night with the stars, but a little second baseman freddie, and posy when it comes back next year, they are a real team. by that i mean, some into teams are controlled by three or four guys that run the whole thing, they are a team, that is why the when i lot of the one run games. when i say that they cannot a lot of stars, that does not mean that i do not think they are good. like when barry bonds was here, you never went to the bathroom when barry bonds was up, but like an the bathroom when there are six and seven other guys up. >> it makes sense. >> and steve wants to know are you from new york? to actually talk up the yankees? >> this is the most famous franchise in the history of sports, i still said the end

of the year and excited when their team won or not. but day in and day al, i will think to make sports prosper, you need starts and a reason to watch a meaningless game in august and the yankees to give you that reason even if you are ruminant--rooting against him. >> the study could have an ax to grind with an old teammate would you can she really feels that labraun james is as good as jordan? >> i did i know, but if i was an all-star player like discarded the and i would feel like i get tired of people saying michael jordan, michael jordan. again, then you play with someone for 10 years every day maybe michael jordan is not a great of a guy as he is when he is selling in nike tissues, but they will be all right because they both did great together.
