Jim Rice: Unimpressed by Zack Greinke
I'm no rocket surgeon when it comes to baseball, but there seems to be a consensus among baseball fans who haven't been lobotomized that Zack Greinke is pretty good at what he does. Some would say impressive. Most would probably just go ahead and say AL Cy Young winner.
Jim Rice is having none of this:

Five errors, two ejections mark Royals' sloppy 10-3 loss to Red Sox
Umpire Greg Gibson didn't like what he heard from Zack Greinke on the Royals' bench. Then he didn't like what he saw from Anthony Lerew on the mound. And then he didn't like what he heard from Trey Hillman on the field.
