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.

On Monday, Browns reporter Tony Grossi told us that the NFL had asked every team in the league to have a moment of silence for Art Modell, one of the main antagonists in the long drama of Cleveland's histrionic sports decrepitude.

"Art Modell Is Probably Talking To The Devil About Relocating Hell," Says Internet

Chris Perez Drops Some Truth Bombs, Calls The Indians Cheap

There is, perhaps, no unhappier player than a closer on a crappy team. His one marquee statistic, saves, is all-important come contract time. But if a team's not winning, he's not getting the opportunities, and that'll hurt him in his free agency winter. So Craig Calcaterra's theory that Chris Perez...
