Not much Indians news right now. The playoffs, on the other hand, are throwing out storylines faster than you can say "Laynce Nix has a brother, and why does he spell Laynce with a Y?"

• Filling in for Captain Clutch Crutch is LGFT Jayson Nix, who has the Captain's full support.
• The Giants evened up the series behind a clutch hit by former Tribe farmhand Marco Scutaro. Bonus points if you can remember for whom Scutaro was traded without a trip to B-Ref.
• It has been no secret that the Yankees have been having trouble drawing fans to the ballpark. Fangraphs speculates on where the Yankees fans are (everything is better with a pie graph!).
• Verlander versus Hughes tonight for the Motor City Kitties vs the Evil Empire. This would seem to favor the Kitties at home, but [insert baseball cliche here].

And finally, there is one Indian who has actually played for new manager Terry Francona. Justin Masterson lets his feelings about the hiring be known.
