The Cleveland Indians Are Liars

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.

Andrew Miller Is Filthy, And Cleveland Is Using Him In The Best Way
Cleveland Indians reliever Andrew Miller took the mound with one out in the seventh inning against the Toronto Blue Jays Friday, which was the latest he had entered a game so far this postseason.

Blue Jays Play-By-Play Guy Won't Call Cleveland's Team "Indians"
It is news to me that Jerry Howarth, the radio play-by-play voice of the Blue Jays since 1981, does not use the name “Indians” when calling baseball games out of respect to Native people. But it’s not new news—Howarth has observed this practice for more than 20 years....

Everton's Oumar Niasse Is The Saddest Man In The Premier League
Oumar Niasse thought all his dreams had come true.

Boston Red Sox Prematurely End David Ortiz's<em></em> Career By Getting Swept By Cleveland Indians
The Cleveland Indians narrowly beat the Boston Red Sox tonight in Game 3 of the ALDS to get the sweep and advance to the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Cody Kessler Injured On Brownsiest Of Browns Plays

Terry Francona Demonstrates How To Manage A Playoff Bullpen
“Nobody ever said you have to be conventional to win,” Indians manager Terry Francona said last night, but I’d argue there are few things in baseball more conventional than using your best reliever to face an opponent’s best hitters in a one-run game. And so what if it was the fifth inning? The next...
