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.

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....

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.

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...

Indians Closer Chris Perez Confronts A's Fan: "Get Your Dick Out Of Your Mouth"
Oh, Chris Perez. Back in May, when the Indians really were in first place, Perez called out Cleveland fans for their lack of support at the gate.

This Indians Ad Parody Is Sad And Brilliant
The poor Cleveland Indians are 50-60, 10 games out of first in the division and 9.5 games out of the second wild card spot. They're not going anywhere this year, even though they entered the season with this triumphant retrospective and a slogan to match: "What if?"...

MLB Umpires Reverse Blown Call, World Does Not Collapse On Itself

Chris Perez Can't Stop Saying True Things About Cleveland Fans
Didn't we do this, like, a month ago? "Guys don't want to come over here and people wonder why," and "Nobody wants to play in front of 5,000 fans," and so forth.
