CLEVELAND -- I'm up here for Opening Day, and because Opening Day is all about fresh beginnings and clean slates, here's one for you: Jacobs Field is no longer Jacobs Field.
As of today, it's Progressive Field, Progressive having locked up the naming rights for the next 16 years.
So no more fun at The Jake. Now it's, I don't know, The Grez. Or, considering the "Q", aka Quicken Loans Arena, is right next door, maybe the "P."
Which would make for a ridiculous and totally unrepresentative slogan for the city of Cleveland.
"Cleveland: Where People Come To Mind Their Ps and Qs."
You may groan when ready.
