Last month's man-on-man collision that took Buster Posey out of the season might have been the Rookie of the Year's own fault.

Not the best way to start off the Memorial Day Weekend, that's for sure. As most of you know by now, Buster Posey's collision with Scott Cousins Wednesday night resulted in a broken leg and torn ligaments. Far worse?

The driver of the pickup truck was seriously injured, and six of the passengers aboard the bus were injured and hospitalized as well (two more passengers were injured but not hospitalized). According to a cop on the scene, it did not appear that either the bus or the pickup had come to a stop at the four-way stop-sign intersection. Muni and the SFPD will, obviously, be investigating.
