Inge to the Dodgers?

According to the Detroit News, the LA Dodgers may have renewed interest in Brandon Inge after Nomar garciaparra came down with a hand injury. Poor Nomar seems to break something every year and he really is the Fredo Corleone of the of the A-Rod, Jeter, Nomar Shortstop Family from back in the late 1990s. But this might be the opportunity that Inge needs to get his shot to play every day.

I'm not the biggest Inge fan, but I respect what he's done for the organization and for the team. I can't remember how many times I've watched him strike out to end innings or hit a home run that completely shocks me- and the problem seems it never seems to be anything in between. I don't think that Brandon would allow himself to become a cancer on the team this year, but it would simply help everyone involved to get him out of Detroit to some place that he can play and be happy.

I know every female Tigers fan would be sad to see Inge go. As I type this, my friend Lindsay is nodding her head in agreement. Then again, this is the same girl who is in love with Huston Street because he is "so hot". I just love him because he let Magglio hit that homer in the ALCS. But, back to baseball. I would gladly trade the quality of women that has been coming down to Comerica Park in the past two years for a third basemen that hits above .250. Call me crazy.

We'll see how this plays out, but the rumor is out there.
