Boston Red Sox
No place like home for Indians

CLEVELAND -- The Boston Red Sox may have home-field advantage throughout the postseason, but for the next three games the Cleveland Indians will have the edge, playing at Jacobs Field.
"Well, you like being able to hit last," said Indians manager Eric Wedge. "That's a big part of it. But, being here at home in front of our fans, and being able to be with your families, and being comfortable and back in your routine, that's all a part of it. You have your routine at home. You have your routine on the road. We had an off-day to recover a little bit (on Sunday) and we're excited about playing at home."
Plus, if the ALDS bugs come back, that would have an effect on the visiting club, just ask the Yankees.
"It happens here about two or three times a year," said Wedge. "Usually when it's hot and humid, and there's not much wind, and we're not too far from the water, and we've got lights all over the place. You add all that up, sometimes they're going to come in and settle in."
