Dodgers News: Clayton Kershaw Breaks Silence on "Crying Kersh" Meme from Padres

Clayton Kershaw was forced to address the Padres "crying Kershaw" meme.

Clayton Kershaw showed the maturity of a future Hall of Famer by not getting caught up in the headlines the Padres were looking for with their petty behavior displayed following their victory over the Dodgers on Friday night. 

The video board at Petco Park flashed a "Crying Kershaw" meme following San Diego's 5-2 victory. Kershaw only found out about the incident after leaving the stadium. When asked about it the following day, Kershaw chose to take the high road and not engage.

#Clayton Kershaw on crying meme posted by #Padres last night: “I don’t think I’m going to take the bait on this one. … You don’t like it, pitch better. I don’t think they do that if we win.”

"I don't think I'm going to take the bait on this one. ... You don't like it, pitch better. I don't think they do that if we win." 

Kershaw has all the hardware he needs and a World Series ring to back up his indifference to the troll job. 

Padres fans added to the classy trolling in San Diego on Saturday night with a... strange sign spotted by reporters in the press box.
