    Edit after thinking for a minute....

    Don't confuse a lack of character with a lack of loyalty. He wasn't here long enough, or home grown or any of the stuff Kershaw is. He came to do a job and did it at a very high level. He gave it his all and showed a lot of grit in Dodger Blue. I thought he was kind of a pussy until I saw that fight. Dude had no back down in him. I only wish he would have nailed a Cardinal in the head. I don't think Greinke lacks character at all. He is and has always been a self admitted mercenary and was true to his word. He never lied about what he is and never gave fans any false hope here. He came for the money and went for more.


    one other thing....

    His (and Teixiera's) spurning of the Angels went a long ass way toward Arte knee jerking his franchise into a perennial laughing stock in this market and worthy of a HUGE LMFAO!!

    The ME 262 was way ahead of its time. Just a little too little, and a little too late.

    Moore is hopefully more like those suicide torpedoes the Japanese made at the end. One way trip only.

    I relieved that we are playing well against the hated ones but we need to get this one as well because the Cubs are on the horizon. We need to bury them in the standings and mentally. Patience is the word today, Moore walks alot of batters.

    Would not be shocked if the team looks flat tonight. Sounds like there is a lot of emotion floating around the clubhouse right now.

    Very sad clubhouse for sure. The trade is awesome but really bad timing with the way the team is playing.

    That's what you get for showing up at the hospital for a team mate. Lol.
    He'll prpbably play more, and he's a ballplayer, first and foremost, so maybe he'll have a bit of a last hurrah before it ends for him.
    I certainly hope so for the guy.
    He sure wasn't getting any playing time here...

    Never thought of that...so after the DNA test, the FO moved him because Segedin swore revenge and was wearing a T shirt reading "Death to the Cuckold".

    None of that is character.
    If you are a dick but tell everyone first that you are a dick before you act like a dick do you have character because 'hey they knew i was a dick'.
    Look at the dude the Angels gave that big contract who was recently released by the Rangers.
    Hamilton. He basically has said when folks point at the huge contract the Angels gave him that 'hey, they knew i was a drug addict, i admitted i was a drug addict and they still signed him... its on them".
    Being honest about not having any character doesnt give you character.
    Being disloyal, a bully, chapass, mercenary is not a person of character.

    Not for anything, but you have used "chapass" a lot lately.
    Wth is a chapass?
    My gf's grandson has a bit of one, but he's 1, so I don't get it...

    You just hit the nail on the head.
    A baby.
    Babies cry when their butt gets chafed due to the horrible modern tradition of using plastic diapers.
    A grown man who gets pissed off frequently is just a baby who displays his crying with more testosterone.

    Rube.. If you hire someone to do a job for you and he simply does it then leaves when the contract allows him to, why does that detract from his persona, because we wanted him to stay? If we whine then we are the chapasses.

    Maybe to Zack Greinke "character" is providing the most possible financial security to his family? This whole conversation is ridiculously subjective and silly IMO.
