Cleveland Indians @ Kansas City Royals
Kauffman Stadium
Kansas City, Mo
April 22-April 24

Probable Pitchers

Game 1: 8:05 PM
Indians- C.C. Sabathia (0-3, 13.50)
Royals- Gil Meche (1-2, 6.08)

Game 2: 8:05 PM
Indians- Fausto Carmona (2-1, 1.96)
Royals- Brett Tomko (1-2, 3.60)

Game 3: 8:05 PM
Indians- Cliff Lee (3-0, 0.40)
Royals- Brian Bannister (3-1, 2.42)

This will be the Tribe's first look at the Kansas City Royals. This Royals team looks good, we face their best pitcher in Brian Bannister on Thursday, but he has the unlucky draw of Cliff Lee being on the mound for the Indians in that game.

I would love to get the C.C. Sabathia of 2007 on the mound tomorrow, but I don't think that's gonna happen. If our bats wake up, maybe we can give him a win.

I have faith that we can win games two and three with Carmona and Lee on the mound.

I would love to take two of three, but we haven't done that since the opening series of the season.
