Cleveland Politician Proposes Tying Stadium Money To Wins
Last year, voters in Cuyahoga County approved a 20-year extension of a sin tax to pay for upkeep on Cleveland's three pro sports stadiums. Today, one elected official presented a proposal to tie part of that payout to the teams' performance. He calls it, a little obviously, a "win tax."...

Cleveland Fan Takes Baseball Square In The Face
This guy at the Tigers-Indians game tonight was really excited to get a baseball from Asdrubal Cabrera.

Fan Tries To Catch Home Run With Beer; Fan With Glove Gets It Instead

Jose Abreu And Danny Salazar Make Meaningless Game Something Special
If you're the kind of person who lacks the requisite attention span to sit through all nine innings of a baseball game, last night's game between the White Sox and Indians was perfect for you.

Indians Fan On His Redface: "It's Cleveland Pride"
Remember all that "IIIIIIIIIIII'm probably fucking up here" supposing we did yesterday?

Nick Swisher Hits Home Run, Spells Out O-H-I-O
Nick Swisher makes it very easy to hate him, but this just cracks me up. After hitting a two-run home run in the sixth inning of the Indians home opener against the Twins, Swisher busted out this homage to the hometown Buckeyes. The Swish just loves him some good times. ...
Cleveland Indians Fan In Redface Meets A Native American
For all the shit we give wrong idiot Dan Snyder, there's really no question that Cleveland's Chief Wahoo is clearly and by far the most ridiculous mascot in sports. A bunch of fans have been "de-chiefing" their gear for a few years now. This guy went the other way. ...
Dumb Question About Derek Jeter Drives Radio Host To Breaking Point
This is Bruce Drennan, a Cleveland sportscaster who hosts a call-in radio show called All Bets Are Off.

Terry Francona Goes To The Mound To Tell Pitcher He Made The Team
Terry Francona seems like a pretty rad dude. During Monday's spring training game against the Reds, the Indians manager went to the mound to remove pitcher Blake Wood from the game. At the time, Wood still didn't know whether he had made the roster or not. Francona, however, knew that Wood had made ...
I don't know if I buy his conclusion, but it's always fun when Joe Posnanski goes rummaging through baseball's attic. Here he is on Louis Sockalexis—the legendary Penobscot ballplayer who once shredded his ankle jumping from a whorehouse's second-story window—and the naming of the Indians. [Hardball...
Brandon Phillips Line Drive Absolutely Rips Ump In The Dick
This...this is a mess. In the second inning of today's Reds-Indians game, Brandon Phillips uncorked a rocket right into umpire Brad Myers's dick. Myers tried to jump out of the way and instead positioned his dick right in the line of fire. He would remain on the ground for some time as both Clevelan...
