Corey Kluber, Goddamn
The Indians have been nigh unbeatable this postseason thanks to a bullpen that’s seemingly incapable of getting roughed up and a propensity for whacking big dingers. They lived up to expectations on both fronts tonight, but they also have Corey Kluber to thank for utterly confounding Cubs hitters al...
Goddammit, Indians Fans
The Cleveland Indians had to know their racist-ass logo would inspire some of their numbnuts fans to show up to the first Indians World Series game since 1997 in headdresses and redface. ...
Dude, Jason Kipnis, Are You Sure You Can Play On Your Sprained Ankle?
Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis sprained his ankle celebrating the Indians winning the pennant, but he says he should be good to play tonight in Game 1 of the World Series against the Chicago Cubs....
Kyle Schwarber Is On The Cubs' World Series Roster
Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber hasn’t seen major-league game action since tearing two knee ligaments during the second game of the season. He was finally cleared to return to the field last week, and on Saturday he joined the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League. Schwarber got six at-bats in two g...
Cleveland Dunked On Jose Bautista
Cleveland rookie pitcher Ryan Merritt was making just the second start of his career yesterday when manager Terry Francona sent him to the mound to face the Blue Jays in Game 5 of the ALCS. Before the game, Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista seemed confident in his team’s chances against the young star...
The Cleveland Indians Are Headed To The World Series
The Cleveland Indians will be back in the World Series for the first time since 1997, after they made quick work of the Blue Jays and won a fairly rote ALCS, 4-1. They won Game 5 in the same way they won most of their games this postseason: they slapped a few dongers, then Andrew Miller stifled the ...
Trevor Bauer Considered Cauterizing His Gross Finger With A Soldering Iron
Trevor Bauer kicked off Halloween early last night when his disgusting diced up finger burst and dripped blood everywhere. He made it two outs into his start before he got yanked. According to a rather amusing (if not medically terrifying) report from Yahoo’s Jeff Passan, it could have been much wor...
Cleveland Didn't Even Need A Starter Last Night<em></em>
Losing your starting pitcher two outs into a playoff game is supposed to be a nightmare for any manager, but all it meant for Terry Francona last night was that he got to put the game into the hands of a bullpen that has yet to fail him....
The Apparently Unstoppable Cleveland Indians Are A Win Away From The World Series
Despite starter Trevor Bauer springing a leak and spouting blood out of his finger in the first inning, the Cleveland Indians are now just one win from their first World Series in almost 20 years. Their bullpen went more or less the distance, and nobody pitched more than 1.2 innings as they locked d...
Trevor Bauer Exits Game 3 After His Finger Liquefies On The Mound<em></em>
Trevor Bauer tried to pitch in Game 3 of the ALCS this evening despite a fucked up finger. He made it 21 pitches and two outs into the game before the dam burst and he started bleeding everywhere. His hand looks like art from “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.”...
Trevor Bauer's Sliced Up Pinkie Is Extremely Gross
Trevor Bauer got his pinkie all Ginsu-ed up last week while he was fixing his drone, which caused him to miss his scheduled Game 2 start. He showed off his disgusting finger today before Game 3 of the ALCS, and it looks like a zombie bite. ...
The Cleveland Indians Are Liars
The Cleveland Indians are on their biggest national stage since their last visit to the ALCS in 2007, and the franchise is celebrating by rubbing its racism in the faces of every person tuning in to watch baseball at the peak of its season. It’s a very strange thing....
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. If you were to ask any baseball fan with two eyes why that is, they’d tell you it’s because the Jays have been dominated by the Indians’ pitchers, particularly Andrew Miller and the rest of the ...
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. Usually, this would be a pretty strange thing to say about a team’s best bullpen arm, but as soon as the...
Trevor Bauer's ALCS Start Pushed Back After He Hurt His Hand Fixing A Drone<em></em>
Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer had been scheduled to pitch in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays, but his start has been pushed back to Game 3 after he injured his hand, reportedly messing with a drone....
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....

Pedro Martinez Recognizes Columbus Day By Stereotyping Native Americans [Update]
Pedro Martinez tried to recognize the Indians’ sweep of his former employer the Boston Red Sox tonight during the TBS postgame show; instead, he got real racist....
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. Neither the Jays nor the Indians have won a World Series in over 20 years, and one of them will contend for their championship after they each ...
Indians-Red Sox ALDS Game 3 Postponed Due To Rain
This afternoon’s ALDS Game 3 between the Indians and Red Sox has been rained out in Boston and moved to 6:08 p.m. Monday. ...
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...
