Opening Day

Baseball is back, and it couldn't arrive soon enough.

The Tribe started the season off with a ridiculous game against the hated Chicago White Sox. C.C. Sabathia didn't look overly impressive, the bullpen wasn't particularly sharp and the Tribe blew a 7-2 lead before nearly allowing the go-ahead run to score in the 7th and 8th innings.

But, when it mattered, the Indians got key outs and a clutch 3-run double from Casey Blake to hold off Chicago 10-8. Joe Borowski had a typical Joe-Blow outing, allowing a home run and the tying run to reach the plate before recording the final out to nail down a save.

Tuesday is a day off before Fausto Carmona faces Javier Vazquez in game two Wednesday evening.
