Johnny Cueto Had NSFW Message for Josh Harrison After Error vs. Astros

The Chicago White Sox are buzzing after their shocking 4-2 comeback win over the Houston Astros on Monday. Things looked dire to start the game, as second baseman Josh Harrison's error led to Houston to racking up an early 2-0 lead.

Starting pitcher Johnny Cueto wasn't bothered by Harrison's mishap though, giving him a motivational NSFW message after the play.

After a two-run first inning, enabled partly by a Josh Harrison error, Johnny Cueto he just tried to keep his focus. He said that the weird hop on the ball wasn’t Harrison’s fault and that his message was this:

“Fuck it, let’s keep competing”

Cueto simply told Harrison "[Expletive] it, let's keep competing." Cueto's attitude clearly set the tone, as he went on to pitch seven shutout innings after that. His offense rewarded him with four runs in the bottom of the eighth, allowing him to secure win No. 5 this season.

In the 15th year of a decorated MLB career, it's no wonder Cueto showed so much poise when met hurdles to begin Monday's contest. His veteran focus will be a big asset down the stretch for the White Sox as they aim to nab one of the AL Wild Card spots.
