| |  | CLEVELAND: CLEVELAND (AP) - Jason Kipnis didn't want it to end. He had plenty of company.
After the final out ended the club's magical, turnaround season so jarringly last October, Kipnis, who made his first All-Star team in 2013 and a few of his teammates lingered in the dugout and watched as Tampa Bay's players celebrated their 4-0 win in the AL wild-card playoff game.
One and done. Hardly the finish Cleveland wanted.
And once again, the city would remain without a major sports championship, a drought approaching its 50-year anniversary.
But despite their brief postseason appearance in manager Terry Francona's first year, the Indians intend to play in October again - and again.
''We don't want it to be a fluke,'' Kipnis said. ''We don't want to be a one-trick pony. We want to be at the top and we want to stay there.''
Hoping to build off their unexpected 92-win campaign, the Indians enter 2014 confident they can not only contend this season, but go even further.
During spring training in Arizona, first baseman Nick Swisher, who also serves as the club's high-energy hype man, handed out ''Unfinished Business'' T-shirts to his teammates.
The Indians aren't satisfied.
''Last season, hopefully, was a steppingstone that we needed to get us going in the right direction,'' Swisher said. ''Last year was that amazing year to get us in the right mind frame to say, `Hey, we can do this. We are a team. And people need to start recognizing it.'''
Cleveland had to win its final 10 games just to make the playoffs. The late-season kick wouldn't have been necessary if the Indians had played more consistently, and more evenness has been a focus for Francona, who feels his club has the makings to do something special again.
''I love our team,'' said the AL's manager of the year. ''I love coming to the ballpark and watching them play. They are easy to like because they try hard. When you can show up with a group of guys and you respect the way they go about things it makes the challenging times more fulfilling. We know we can do it now. We've got to try and go do it better.''
| | CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - From rock bottom last season to contention this year? The Chicago White Sox see no reason why it can't happen.
They're ready to put last season's 99-loss wreck behind them and make a jump at least back to respectability, if not a run at the AL Central title.
They see a team with solid pitching, a new slugger in Jose Abreu and renewed vigor. Now, all they have to do is back it up.
''You have to pitch, you have to hit, you have to score,'' said manager Robin Ventura, entering his third season. ''You have to play defense. You have to do all of them in our division. Detroit has won it the last few years. They have a combination of everything. Unless you do that, you're not going to be close. We proved that last year.''
They had the pitching part down last season. The rest? Well, that's where things got dicey.

*Indians-White Sox Preview* ===========================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Cleveland (66-63) at Chicago (59-71), 8:10 p.m. EDT
A strong stretch by the rotation has played a major role in the Cleveland Indians staying in the playoff hunt.
A matchup with the offensively challenged Chicago White Sox should give them a good chance to continue their roll.
The Indians go for their 10th win in 14 games while trying to send the AL Central-worst White Sox to a seventh consecutive loss in the first of three at U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday night.
Cleveland starters have posted a 1.71 ERA during a 9-4 stretch, helping the Indians (66-63) recover from a four-game losing streak that had dropped them two games under .500.
They've gained 3 1/2 games on Detroit over that span, but have lost ground to a red-hot Kansas City team that has moved into first place in the Central. The Indians are also part of a crowded battle for a wild-card spot.
"We have our work cut out for us, but if we pitch like that we're going to give ourselves a chance," manager Terry Francona said following Sunday's 3-1 home win over Houston.
T.J. House (2-3, 3.80 ERA) had been shuffled between the major league roster and Triple-A before settling into the rotation nicely of late. The rookie left-hander, who hasn't given up more than three earned runs in his last eight starts, lowered his August ERA to 1.65 by allowing four hits over 5 1-3 innings of Wednesday's 5-0 win at Minnesota.
House pitched well in his only career start against Chicago, surrendering one run with eight strikeouts over 6 1-3 innings May 28. He didn't get a decision as the White Sox rallied against the bullpen for a 3-2 home win.
Now House is looking for a similar effort against a Chicago team that has totaled 16 runs during its worst slide of the season.
Avisail Garcia, Conor Gillaspie and Alexei Ramirez hit home runs Sunday, but the White Sox (59-71) went hitless in their three chances with runners in scoring position and Dayan Viciedo made a critical error in a 7-4, 10-inning loss at Yankee Stadium.
"It is not for lack of effort," Sunday's starter Chris Sale said. "Nobody here is hanging their head. Nobody in here is giving up. Just some unfortunate bounces sometimes. We need to start stringing some things together and win some games."
Chicago could get a boost if Adam Eaton is activated from the disabled list. The center fielder, who hasn't played since Aug. 8, batted .444 in a 19-game span prior to suffering a strained right oblique.
Jose Quintana (6-10, 3.25) will try to lead the White Sox to their ninth win in 14 meetings with Cleveland this season.
The left-hander has gone 3-0 with a 3.07 ERA in seven career starts against the Indians. He's surrendered three runs over 12 innings in a pair of 2014 meetings - both Chicago victories.
Quintana, however, is aiming to halt a three-start losing streak after giving up four runs over six innings in Tuesday's 5-1 home defeat to Baltimore. He's posted a 4.91 ERA during the skid while receiving one run of support in each contest.
Michael Brantley is 7 for 15 with a home run against Quintana, and he's expected back after resting Sunday. The All-Star is in a 3-for-30 slump, but has batted .367 with four homers in his last 15 against Chicago.
Teammate Mike Aviles is 3 for 5 off Quintana and 14 for 35 (.400) against the White Sox this season.
