The Tribe, losers of 6 straight, look to bounce back with a 7 game home stand vs division foes Chicago and Minnesota.

3 game weekend set vs the Pale Hose to kick it off.

Friday- Danks (2-1 3.48) v Salazar (0-3 6.04)
Saturday- Carroll (1-0 1.23) v Masterson (0-1 4.84)
Sunday- Rienzo (2-0 4.05) v Kluber (2-3 4.14)

For the game tonight, the Tribe have a great track record vs Danks in his career. Danks is just 5-9 lifetime vs the Tribe sporting an ERA 5.09 and a WHIP of 1.376. Salazar is 1-1 lifetime vs White Sox in 3 starts (Indians 2-1 in those starts).

The Indians are just 3-8 so far this season in games vs left-handed starters but 3-1 coming off a day off (this one was badly needed) and the White Sox are just 5-8 on the road so far in the young season.

Calendar has flipped to May, time for the Tribe to break out. Hopefully some home cookin' will get them back on track.

5-2 would be nice here.

Sox playing well. 5-2 this home stand would be fantastic even if the Indians were playing well.

From the first meeting of these teams, I would say that the Tribe does not match up well against the ChiSox.

If the Tribe plays as well as Tbone14's intro to the thread, we will be in good shape.

Go Tribe.

I expect another sweep. We stink.

I (hopefully) see what you did there

Kipnis on the DL

go white sox!

Interesting to hear Terry Francona talk on the Manager's Minute today about how one bat changed the complexion of the whole White Sox lineup....and then to think back to some of the discussion on the off season thread on how we needed to get a big bat in the middle of our order.

Good start so far. 5-0 Tribe. Salazar must relax and just pitch.

Tribe batted around in the 1st and put on a hitting clinic there.

Tribe with a 5 spot and then giving it right back. Johnson can't make the routine-est of catches for a force at 2nd. That guy comes around to score an unearned run and Sox have now added another.

5-2 Tribe.

Ubaldo toes the rubber tonight boasting an 0-4 record and a sweet 6.59 ERA.

Another error and a passed ball lead to 2 more opposing runs.

We have like a weeks worth of offensive production so far by the 3rd inning.

Wish we could some how save and carry it over.

Santana already 2-2 with a homer and pair of RBIs. How many weeks of production is the for him?

That is good to know. I actually feel a little better.

Actually an entertaining game tonight.

Abreu has had one of the greatest months of April in the history of baseball for a rookie. 10 Hrs and 30 RBIs in the opening month of ones career is ridiculous.

Had to hold my breath when I seen the throw going to Johnson for that double play.

BRANTLEY, HOMER

Have to limit the damage here. This is crucial..

...annnnnnnd a wild pitch.
