Northeast Ohio sports fans get bonanza this week with Indians, Browns, Firestone, Hall of Fame

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Sports fans in Northeast Ohio are blessed with three professional teams to follow. Win or lose, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indians and Browns provide plenty of storylines of varying degrees for 12 months.
When special events come to the area, the potential exists for a bonanza. The upcoming week (July 31-Aug. 6) meets all the criteria -- and then some.
The Indians, first place in the AL Central and on fire, face two legendary franchises. They visit the Boston Red Sox for three games and play host to the New York Yankees for four games.
The Indians return to Fenway Park on Monday for the first time since sweeping the Red Sox in the 2016 American League Division Series. Hopefully, the Red Sox will have another activity involving David Ortiz to distract them.
The Yankees, as a member of the AL East, come to Cleveland once a year. This particular season, they are battling the Red Sox for division supremacy and feature such young stars as outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez and recently promoted outfielder Clint Frazier, the former Indians prospect who was traded last year as part of the Andrew Miller deal.
Progressive Field undoubtedly will be packed each day, with plenty of fans arriving early for the night games to watch the spectacle that is New York Yankees Batting Practice. Provided that 2017 Home Run Derby participants Judge and Sanchez, in particular, are healthy and in the mood, the BP balls figure to travel high and far....
The Cavaliers are in their offseason, but they have the NBA -- and the sports world, in general -- waiting to see what happens with Kyrie Irving.
Joining Cleveland's major professional teams on the upcoming week's stage are men's pro golfers (WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) and legends of football (Hall of Fame induction festivities). The WGC-Bridgestone, though not a major, boasts a loaded field that includes newly minted British Open champion Jordan Spieth and 2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia.
CLEVELAND ROCKS!

Ridiculous couple of days. Not only are we letting KC hang around but we're passing on the chance to pull away from Boston for the 2 seed.

UH-OH....
BOSTON (AP) â The Cleveland Indiansâ pitching staff has taken two big hits: All-Star Andrew Miller is on the disabled list, and starter Josh Tomlin is out six weeks.
Miller was placed on the DL on Wednesday with right knee tendinitis, an injury that could explain his recent wildness.
One of baseballâs best relievers, Miller pitched in Tuesday nightâs 12-10 loss at Boston, giving up Eduardo Nunezâs three-run double off the Green Monster.
Miller is 4-3 with two saves and a 1.67 ERA in 46 appearances this season. He was acquired at the trading deadline last year from the New York Yankees, and the left-hander was instrumental in Cleveland making it to the World Series for the first time since 1997.
He has not been himself lately, walking 10 batters in the past 21 innings. Miller only walked nine batters in 74 1/3 innings last season.
The Indians recalled right-hander Adam Plutko from Triple-A Columbus to take Millerâs spot on the active roster.
As for Tomlin, his season could be in jeopardy after an MRI confirmed a âmild-to-moderateâ left hamstring tendon strain. The Indians said Tomlin is expected to miss at least six weeks before he can return to major league games........
