A Zack Greinke story: So, there was this game when Royals relief pitcher Jeremy Affeldt gave up a home run. He was upset in the dugout, of course, and he stormed around, muttering at himself, “Man, that wasn’t even that bad of a pitch.” Of course, all his teammates kept their distance.

All except Zack Greinke.

“That wasn’t even that bad of a pitch,” Affeldt barked at himself again.

“Actually,” Zack said, “it was a pretty bad pitch.”

Affeldt looked up at Greinke. “Thanks, Zack,” Affeldt said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

“No,” Zack said, “really, I went back to the clubhouse and looked at the pitch on video. It was a really bad pitch. Right over the middle of the plate, and you got it up. I mean it was a bad pitch.”

“Thanks, Zack,” Affeldt said again.

“Right down the middle. I could have hit it out,” Greinke said.

Affeldt looked into Greinke’s eager face and just shook his head.

“Thanks, Zack,” he said.

“Yeah,” Greinke said, and he walked back to his seat in the dugout.

In any case, I don't understand some Royals fans who don't want to hear his interviews.

I want that guy interviewed at every opportunity. I don't care if he was in the game or not. Hell, they could interview him about his thoughts on American Idol, and I'd tune in.

No kidding, even the most boring question is something you want to hear his answer on.

So, Zack, what do you think of Frisco, Texas?

It's my favorite Minor League city to play. I think it's awesome. The city's great, the park's nice, the fans turn out, the mascot's real good
OK... if Zack likes the mascot, then I had to see what it was. This team is apparently the Frisco Roughriders. Not sure what the hell this is, but it doesn't look like any kind of western cowboy to me.

Man, I really wish he was pitching tomorrow.

Smith is a moron.

Greinke is extremely clever, dry and funny as all hell. Someone once told him he had a good enough fastball to throw fastballs right down the middle of the plate and get guys out. So he decided to give it a shot in a spring training game and gave up something like 9 runs.

If there were a 'gifted' program for baseball players, he'd be in it. It just seems like he gets bored with simply being a phenom from time to time.

comparison = fail.

zack is a looney mother****er but he's our loon

Greinke is funny as hell and it's even better to listen to him when he's pitching as well as he is. Soria and Gordon are my 2 favorite players, but every Greinke quote I read puts him closer to the top.

I didn't see "I saved your life" on there from when he was in the outfield during a practice. That's one of my favorites (along with the Anniston thing).

i'm with the "he gets bored" camp. i also get bored, so the fact he doesn't spout cliche after cliche, is very nice. great list of quotes btw.
