Like I said, it's probably too early to panic, but after the Tribe closes its series with the Kansas City Royals, they head to the Bronx to face a New York Yankees team that will be opening a new stadium. Not to mention that they will be facing Sabathia in what should be a raucous opener on Thursday. It's not crazy to think that after this weekend they could have 10 losses, and history has told us that the Ind |
