Yusmeiro Petit is my hero

It goes without saying that the unsung hero in the Giants 18 inning win was Yusmeiro Petit. But it shouldn't go without saying at all. As the article's sub-title notes, Petit pitched a one-hit shutout, in relief, within the pressure filled boiler room that was this contest to GET to the point where Brandon Belt could be the hero.

Brandon Belt hit the dinger. Joe Panik took the walk. Buster Posey hit the single, and Pablo Sandoval hit the double. Tim Hudson was not unlike watching Atlantis rise again from the sea, the bones of its kings new-covered with flesh. But I woke up this morning thinking about Yusmeiro Petit.

Did you wake up thinking about us, Yusmeiro Petit? For you are our hero.

This video gives you an idea of what Petit did on Saturday night:

But the real hero was Petit and I'm sorry to say I fretted through his performance all the way, thinking he was scared and perhaps not up to the the moment. Perhaps I was projecting my own insecurities, fears and inadequacies onto Yusmeiro. Or perhaps I just shouldn't engage in dime store psychiatry in the future since I've proven repeatedly that I'm not very good at it. Who knows?  ¯\_( )_/¯

Anyway, great job Yusmeiro Petit!!
