The Latest
4/16: After coming off a big win in the series finale against Texas, Cleveland looks to build some momentum against the AL Central's fourth place team and a Chicago squad the Tribe has already beaten twice. Mark Buerhle killed the Indians in the season opener. Mitch Talbot struggled last time out in his first start against Detroit. Maybe starting in Progressive Field will be a benefit to him.

Random Notes: I'm no Cavaliers fan, but I venture to guess that most of you reading are. If you are attending the Cavaliers playoff game on Saturday against Chicago, you can cross the street to Progressive Field and buy a ticket to the Indians game for just five bucks. The Indians start at 4, so you probably won't see all of the game, but that is a promotion I'm sure many would like to take advantage of. It's part of the "Sweep Chicago Saturday" shindig.
