Cleveland Closer Chris Perez Confronted His Hecklers In Oakland Over The Weekend (Video)
Everybody knows that the seats near the visitor’s bullpen are a magnet for the biggest loudmouths in baseball. With the close proximity they provide to members of the opposing team, they are heaven for anyone with an expansive knowledge of vulgar expressions, a love of beer, and a willingness to chirp at opposing players for three [...]

Yankees’ Dewayne Wise Doesn’t Make The Catch, Tricks Umpire Into Thinking He Did Make The Catch (Video)
The art of deception can be quite the powerful tool, both in sports, and in life. No one knows that better than New York Yankees left-fielder Dewayne Wise, as he seems to have mastered the art of deception, and he put it to good use during the seventh inning of last night’s game against the [...]

Umpire Jim Wolf Rules Carlos Santana Safe Even Though He Was Out By A Mile (Video)
In yesterday’s MLB game between the Cleveland Indians and the Cincinnati Reds, an umpire made a pretty puzzling call to the benefit of the Indians and their catcher, Carlos Santana. Trouble is, Santana was called safe on the play by umpire Jim Wolf, despite the fact that Reds shortstop Zack Cozart clearly had the ball [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 6/20/12 — Justin Masterson
With a 3-6 record and a 4.38 ERA heading into last night, Justin Masterson hasn’t been all that sharp on the mound for the Cleveland Indians this season. He was looking to turn things around against his inner-state rivals from Cincinnati, and lead his team to a three-game sweep of the Reds in the process. [...]

Watch Home Plate Umpire Derryl Cousins Trip Over Carlos Santana (Video)
Being a Major League umpire has got to be a hard job. Not only do you have to wear a ton of equipment out there under the hot sun in the middle of the summer, but pretty much everyone is just waiting to go off on you if you even come close to blowing a [...]

Carlos Santana Tackles Cincinnati Reds Fan Going For Foul Ball (Video)
It’s always fun to get front-row seats for a sporting event. While the vantage point isn’t quite as good down there as it is a little further back, you really get to feel like you’re part of the action. In fact, sometimes you are a part of the action. Unfortunately, that’s not always a good [...]

Indians Closer Chris Perez Vomits After Earning the Save (Video & GIF)
During the ninth inning of yesterday afternoon’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Cleveland Indians reliever Chris Perez was hurling fastballs over the plate en route to his league-leading 20th save of the season. And immediately following the final out of the game, Perez did some more hurling, although, this time he wasn’t hurling fastballs [...]

Cleveland Has Signed Lebron!
There will be a Lebron playing in Cleveland this year. However, the Lebron we are speaking of is not LeBron James, and the team is not the Cleveland Cavaliers. Instead, the Lebron we are referring to is Willy Lebron, a 32-year-old baseball player that was signed by the Cleveland Indians to a minor league deal [...]

The Midges Are Back In Cleveland (Video)
The last time we saw the midges in Cleveland take over an Indians game was back in 2007 during Game 2 of the American League Division Series, as they terrorized Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain just enough to cause him to allow the game-tying run in the eighth inning. The midges returned to Progressive Field last [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 8/1/11 — Asdrubal Cabrera
After starting the season on a tear, it has been “back to reality” for the Cleveland Indians over the course of the past couple of months, as they found themselves only one game above .500 heading into last night’s game against the Boston Red Sox. However, they were still only 2.5 games out of top [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 7/7/11 — Travis Hafner
Isn’t it amazing how one swing of the bat can change everything in a baseball game? The Toronto Blue Jays went into the bottom of the ninth inning last night with a 4-0 lead over the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. Most would think that the game would be wrapped up at that point, but [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/21/11 — Seth Smith
The Colorado Rockies entered last night’s game against the Cleveland Indians sitting right at the .500 mark. In addition to moving them above that mark, a win would also keep them only 2.5 games back of the first place Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West. They got that win thanks to a rather unlikely source. [...]

9 Most Memorable Sports Riots
In light of the stupid Vancouver riots that took place earlier this week, we decided to investigate some of the most memorable riots in history, seeing how fans (and players) can react so violently and dangerously to both winning and losing. While none of these actions are forgivable, some were certainly foreseeable (see entry number [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/14/11 — Justin Verlander
Talk about Deja Vu! On May 3rd this year, the Minnesota Twins’ Francisco Liriano pitched the first no-hitter of the season. Only four days later it was Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers pitching a no-hitter of his own, becoming the second pitcher to do so this season. Fast forward to this past Sunday, when [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/7/11 — Carlos Carrasco
Much of the Cleveland Indians success this season has been the result of some great offense, but with their bats quieting down during a five-game losing streak, it was the pitching of starter Carlos Carassco that helped them break out of their recent slump. Carassco was dominant during last night’s game against the Minnesota Twins, [...]
