The Weed That Came To Chris Perez's House Was Addressed To His Dog
The standard athlete-busted-for-misdemeanor-weed-possession story is one that's rarely fun to study. The drug in question is less harmful than lots of legal substances, and the details hardly shift (cop pulls someone over, cop smells something, etc.) in each case. But every so often there's a magic...
Indians Closer Chris Perez Is The Subject Of A Dumb Panic Over Weed
And it got started because Zack Meisel, a reporter for Indians.com, tweeted that Perez was "arrested for drug possession," and that police in Rocky River, Ohio, "confirm" it. One problem: It wasn't true, and Perez may not be involved at all....

Tony Randazzo Ejected Mike Aviles From A Game That Was Already Over
When we profiled umpire Tony Randazzo last year, we noted he had an "aggressive attitude."

Quick, Everyone Notice That Mark Reynolds Leads The AL In Homers
With his 12th tater of the 2013 season, a guy named Mark Reynolds took over the lead in the American League in home runs. Mark Reynolds plays for the Cleveland Indians, which is why you can be forgiven for having no idea who Mark Reynolds is. But that doesn't bother Mark Reynolds....
Peter Gammons: Angel Hernandez Blew That Call After Ignoring The Replay
Peter Gammons went on Dan Patrick's radio show to talk about umpire Angel Hernandez's egregious blown call from Wednesday night's A's-Indians game. Gammons offered an interesting explanation for how Hernandez could have failed to properly call what was a clear home run even after looking at a video...

Is Trevor Bauer's Terrible New Rap Song A Diss Track Directed At Miguel Montero?
Trevor Bauer is one of the most highly touted pitching prospects in baseball. He is also a terrible, terrible rapper and possibly kind of a dick. When he was traded from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Cleveland Indians in the offseason, his former teammate and catcher Miguel Montero made some poin...
Report: Carl Pavano Ruptured His Spleen Shoveling Snow
That's according to Ken Rosenthal, whose MLB sources told him the injury would keep the right-hander out for six to eight weeks. Then again, it might be much longer. Consider: Pavano is 37, he hasn't pitched since June 1 because of shoulder trouble, and he's still a free agent....
Nick Swisher Will Take His Goofball Show To Cleveland
It's a sad day for baseball fans—Nick Swisher is going to the Cleveland Indians for what could possibly be a five year, $70 million deal. Unfortunately, Cleveland being Cleveland, we will likely never see Swish again. With that hard truth in mind, we bid a fond (or not so fond, whatever) farewell t...

The Cleveland Indians Can't Stop Grabbing Each Other Inappropriately

Albert Belle Wants To Be The Indians' Next Manager
The Indians have two pretty good candidates to helm the team next year, after firing Manny Acta with six games remaining. First, Sandy Alomar Jr., the bench coach who is acting as interim manager these last couple days—a beloved former Indian who was something of a field general dating back to his b...
The Indians' Bullpen Spent Last Night's Game Practicing Their Juggling Skills
Reader Nick sent this video from last night's White Sox-Indians game. He was sitting next to Cleveland's bullpen when some relievers started practicing their juggling skills. According to Nick, this happened in the bottom of the eighth inning; by then, the Indians had a 6-4 lead. (They ended up winn...
