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...

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.

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....

The Blue Jays Clanged A Bushel Of Dongers Off Yu Darvish

Yu Darvish is in the process of serving up a plate of nice tasty meatballs for Blue Jays hitters to feast on. Troy Tulowitzki first took Darvish deep in the second inning for a pair of runs, after which the Rangers managed to claw one back to make it a one-run game. So Toronto responded by pinging t...

This Is The Closest We've Gotten To Finding The Beer-Throwing Blue Jays Fan

The police have not yet identified the shithead Blue Jays fan that tossed a beer at Hyun Soo Kim last night, who the team said was able to slink off into the night before security could apprehend them. This, despite the rigorous work done by certified expert internet investigators such as myself. Wh...

The Beer-Throwing Blue Jays Fan Got Away

There’s a pattern here. Four years ago at the Rogers Centre someone nailed an umpire with a beer. Three years ago a fan chucked a full beer can at the Orioles’ Nate McLouth. In last year’s ALDS, the crowd protested a bizarre play by littering the field with trash, a scene lowlighted by a baby being ...

Buck Showalter Fucked Up

I watched Buck Showalter neglect to use his lights-out closer in the ninth and tenth and eleventh innings of a tied, loser-goes-home baseball game, and I watched it work for two of those innings! All I can say is: I’ve seen people at the blackjack table hit on 17 and get 21, too. I’ve never seen any...

Edwin Encarnacion Hit A Walk-Off To Goddamn Mars To Put The Blue Jays Through

The Blue Jays beat the Orioles in the eleventh inning of tonight’s Wild Card game thanks to a huge three-run dinger from Edwin Encarnacion.

Rude Jays Fan Throws A Beer At Hyun Soo Kim, Nearly Brains Him

An extremely rude Blue Jays fan tossed beer at Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim as the Orioles closed out the seventh inning. It nearly hit him, and right after it hit the grass, Kim and Adam Jones immediately turned to the crowd and tried to identify the beer tosser....

Jose Bautista Kicks Off MLB Playoffs With Towering Dong

Hell yeah buddy, the MLB playoffs are back. Jose Bautista hit a tall dinger to score he first run of the postseason in the second inning. Bautista got way under this 3-1 pitch from Chris Tillman, but that didn’t matter, since he hit it to the dang moon....

Root For The Blue Jays In The Playoffs

The unruly Bat Flip Boys are at it again. A year after bashing their way through the AL East and into the hearts of scalawags everywhere, the Toronto Blue Jays have made the playoffs (or at least the watered down, expanded version of the playoffs) in consecutive years for the first time since winnin...

Blue Jays, Orioles, Giants Win; Disturbed Fans Who Anticipated Tiebreaker Games Lose<em></em>

Baseball’s postseason is set after a day that brought promises of excitement like we saw on the final day of 2011's regular season but delivered the most predictable and boring result as all three teams that controlled their own destiny won, shutting out the pretenders that hoped to force tiebreaker...
