Okay cool then at least he threw himself to the lions willingly, but still.... God damn, I have no idea how a man can stand there and ask a question like that without expecting to just get decked....

Kershaw was pretty tolerant of "Why do you struggle against the Cardinals?" questions. I just felt that one was over the top. I know some guys are notoriously evil to the media (McGwuire and LaRussa both were described as "terse" at best), but sometimes the media is seriously evil to the players. 

At some point this is going to end up in a fight where a professional athlete just mauls a reporter. Ron Artest style! I mean ... Metta World Peace style!

Jim Rice once ripped a reporter's shirt off the reporter's back.
Kershaw could have reacted a lot worse, but I have a feeling the question was so stupid because the reporter was trying to be a little more gracious than blurting out something like: "Wow, Adams really clobbered that hanger you served up, huh?"
