AP - The home of the Indians will be called Progressive Field as part of a naming rights deal that is worth nearly $58 million over 16 years.

Car insurance company Progressive Corp. and the American League team announced the terms of the agreement for the 42,000-seat downtown ballpark on Friday.

I'll still call it The Jake, and I'm sure every other baseball fan will as well.

I hear Yes really sucks live these days. Apparently Chris Squire has just completely lost it.

When King Crimson is coming to town, let me know, though.
