I've seen emptier. I'd guess this is around a 15,000 to 20,000 crowd.

I was there yesterday and Monday. That's about inline with what I saw.

Man, two games in a row that are going to be over by the first inning.

We got a DP, Roberto. We still have a chance.

BIG double play there.

[allquixotic]

Meh. Lucky DP, but if Simon keeps throwing like this, it's still Detroit's game to win.

OK ........... I think that the pitch that was so far out of the strike zone that almost hit Jhonny Peralta, but wound up being a strike anyway because it hit his bat ............ will wind up being the turning point in this game. Instead of a 2-0 count with the bases loaded, one out, and a run already in, it was a 1-1 count. And then he proceeded to hit into a double play on the very next pitch. IT COULD BE tonight's turning point !!!
