30K+ here tonight I would say. Reception for Thome was loud, he tipped his helmet to the crowd before stepping in.

Also, they have us all signs to hold up that say Welcome THome

Kipnis is on the DL and Valbuena blows.

Only other option is Donald. Who I would prefer.

Yea I meant because Donald is on the team. He should probably be starting at all times with Kipnis out...

Ubaldo has actually pitched a great game while the tribe offense continues to blow

Looks more like 40,000 on TV. Looks almost packed.

Jimenez has been really impressive tonight. But our line up wouldn't scare too many people. Hannahan has been money tonight.

In other news..............Matt Underwood is still awful at his job. He almost did a homerun call in the 8th with a pop up to medium right.

Yeah, that last one was smoked right at Choo. Hosmer's was smoked right at Fukuhome. Rage was making it scary.

Ubaldo pitched like an ace tonight. He had much better location. Hope he keeps this up.

There were a bunch of empties between the people. 35 is probably accurate for the asses in seats attendance. 41,337 is what they listed for tix sold.

What a great game! I had the best seats I have ever had for a tribe game...5 rows back from homeplate/ dugout.

Only thing I would've changed is Thome getting a hit....he was trying too hard to jack one out, but man I loved seeing him back in an Indians uniform, love that guy!

Not sure.attendance, but it was packed!!
