That was a big run too. Price turned his game around nicely. If Price faced Sale would the fans get a discount?
Game 1 goes to the Tigers 12-1. Cabrera 4 for 5 with 2 HR's. All the call ups got in on the action too. Fun game, a little long, but a fun game.

Here's the crowd in Cleveland. This is not good. I was amazed when I saw this. Pennant race, playing good ball and they might have around 13,000 at the game.

fiend! on the bright side, the rangers are on the board. they've cut the mariners lead to eight. *WALL*
