If you qualify:

"The Durham Bulls and Time Warner Cable today announced complimentary tickets to the Bulls championship round game on Thursday, September 11th will be provided to members of the military, police force, fire fighters, emergency medical technicians and hospital personnel.

Members of the aforementioned group need only to show their employment ID at the box office between now and the night of the game to receive their complimentary ticket. The Bulls and Yankees play Game Three of the best-of-five series on Thursday at the ballpark."

More on tonight's pitching matchup:

"Price has dominated throughout the minor leagues this season, going 12-1 with a 2.30 ERA between Single, Double and Triple-A this year. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft, Price will almost certainly start next season as a part of Tampa Bay's ever-improving pitching rotation. Squaring off against Price tonight will be Chase Wright, who has gone 10-3 with a 2.72 ERA between Trenton and SWB this year, including a 2-1 record in six starts with SWB."
