Cleveland Indians: Season Opens With Ugly Loss

4 - 5 - 10     at Chicago White Sox     L,6 - 0     0 - 1

     If one was to script the worst possible season opener for a baseball team, it would probably go something like this.  The team in question is held scoreless for the contest's entirety, they are victim to several outstanding defensive plays, including one that will be considered one of the best of the year, and their supposed ace can't even make it through the 5th inning.
     Sadly, that story - line coincides with the Indians' 6 - 0 loss to the Chicago White Sox earlier today.  The Tribe's offense never got on track, Mark Buerhle made a ridiculous off - balance flip through his legs while in foul territory to retire Lou Marson in the 5th, and Jake Westbrook got pounded for four tallies in 4+ frames.
     The one highlight: a fine catch by Jhonny Peralta on a foul ball as he leaned over the tarp on the third base side, and into the stands to grab it.
