Here's Bobby Valentine Lovingly Wiping Crumbs Off Tommy Lasorda's Mouth
Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda recently got out of the hospital in time to attend Game 3 of the NLCS. He’s at Game 5 tonight, sitting next to Bobby Valentine, who was nice enough to assist him with a stray bit of food....
Cleveland Dunked On Jose Bautista
Cleveland rookie pitcher Ryan Merritt was making just the second start of his career yesterday when manager Terry Francona sent him to the mound to face the Blue Jays in Game 5 of the ALCS.

Did The MLB Replay Booth Just Cost The Dodgers A Run?
Adrián González tried to run on Jason Heyward in the second inning tonight. Heyward’s throw took a hop, and barely arrived on time, but the umpire determined that Willson Contreras’s tag got González on the jaw before his left hand grazed home plate....
The Cleveland Indians Are Headed To The World Series
The Cleveland Indians will be back in the World Series for the first time since 1997, after they made quick work of the Blue Jays and won a fairly rote ALCS, 4-1. They won Game 5 in the same way they won most of their games this postseason: they slapped a few dongers, then Andrew Miller stifled the ...

10 Years Ago Today, Carlos Beltran Didn't Swing
It’s got to be the single most famous baseball play in which a hitter didn’t take the bat off his shoulder. Oct. 19, 2006, bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, the Cardinals clinging to a two-run lead in Game 7 of the NLCS, and the Mets’ most feared hitter at the plate. Baseball drama doesn’...
Old Man Rich Hill Pitched A Gem Tonight
The Chicago Cubs came into the NLCS fresh off a dominant regular season and a soul-crushing defeat of the San Francisco Giants. Since a Game 1 win, they haven’t scored a run.

Trevor Bauer Considered Cauterizing His Gross Finger With A Soldering Iron
Trevor Bauer kicked off Halloween early last night when his disgusting diced up finger burst and dripped blood everywhere. He made it two outs into his start before he got yanked.

We Asked Mo Vaughn About The Indians, Dan Duquette And Dressing As A Big Fella<em></em>
According to the man himself, Mo Vaughn is not much of a slugger any more. On a recent trip to the batting cages with his son, the former AL MVP says, he made contact with just three of 14 pitches—at 50 mph. Luckily, he was prepared for life after baseball when his All-Star career ended in 2003....
The Texas Rangers' Ballpark Scam Is Even Worse Than We Thought
Back in June, WFAA-TV took a close look at the Texas Rangers’ proposal to build a new stadium in Arlington, which the city and team insist would be built with a 50-50 split of private and public money. WFAA-TV discovered an unprecedented clause in the proposal that proved the 50-50 promise to be hor...
Cleveland Didn't Even Need A Starter Last Night<em></em>
Losing your starting pitcher two outs into a playoff game is supposed to be a nightmare for any manager, but all it meant for Terry Francona last night was that he got to put the game into the hands of a bullpen that has yet to fail him....

The Apparently Unstoppable Cleveland Indians Are A Win Away From The World Series
Despite starter Trevor Bauer springing a leak and spouting blood out of his finger in the first inning, the Cleveland Indians are now just one win from their first World Series in almost 20 years. Their bullpen went more or less the distance, and nobody pitched more than 1.2 innings as they locked d...
White Sox Fan Frank Kaminsky Owns The Cubs
Frank Kaminsky is a White Sox fan and he apparently isn’t one to celebrate his city’s other team’s success. To express his displeasure, he’s decided to wear a custom Steve Bartman jersey around the city. He rocked it on a rooftop last night, then wore it to the Bulls’ arena before the Hornets’ game ...
Trevor Bauer Exits Game 3 After His Finger Liquefies On The Mound<em></em>
Trevor Bauer tried to pitch in Game 3 of the ALCS this evening despite a fucked up finger. He made it 21 pitches and two outs into the game before the dam burst and he started bleeding everywhere. His hand looks like art from “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.”...
Trevor Bauer's Sliced Up Pinkie Is Extremely Gross
Trevor Bauer got his pinkie all Ginsu-ed up last week while he was fixing his drone, which caused him to miss his scheduled Game 2 start. He showed off his disgusting finger today before Game 3 of the ALCS, and it looks like a zombie bite. ...

The Cleveland Indians Are Liars
The Cleveland Indians are on their biggest national stage since their last visit to the ALCS in 2007, and the franchise is celebrating by rubbing its racism in the faces of every person tuning in to watch baseball at the peak of its season. It’s a very strange thing....
What The Hell Is Jose Bautista On About?
The Toronto Blue Jays are down 2-0 in the ALCS after scoring just one run on 10 hits through 18 innings. If you were to ask any baseball fan with two eyes why that is, they’d tell you it’s because the Jays have been dominated by the Indians’ pitchers, particularly Andrew Miller and the rest of the ...
