I remember I watched him play the White Sox in Chicago and he threw 6 in and gave up about 3. He kind of just lost his starter's role when the team got healthy. I like the idea of giving him shot. But what I like more is.... Trading and trying to get a good starter. Willis might not return this season, Bonderman is out, Robertson's ERA is high. The Tigs could use a rent-a-pitcher for the rest of this season. Also, if JV, Kenny Rogers or Gallaraga got hurt, we would be cooked. I always wanted Miner for the starter’s role.

I am not a great Inge fan like most of you aren't either because I get frustrated with him offensively but I appreciate all the things he does defensively. Giving up most at bats in the process of him being in the lineup, he is pretty efficient with runners on, which makes him more valuable then a lot of others. And no one plays third batter. Those two great play Carlos made last night are routine for Inge. I think Pudge will continue to have a good year with Inge taking a regular turn catching. Their are more positives the negatives so lets bring it on. Lets continue with the Twinkies!!! Inge coming back strengthens the club.

Somehow I picture more a loop of his favorite lines from Caddy Shack over and over. (Which explains the occasional Bill Murray-like swings) Doris Day?

So, there is another argument against Leylandvision: the noise from all the buzzing would be an added frustration. ez, I hadn’t even considered the audio issue.

For a moment I thought it could be interesting to have one installed in Leyland's hat, but then it occurred to me that the view would always be obscured by smoke so that Leylandvision wouldn't really tell us much.

What I'm getting at is how hard would it be to arrange to have a little tiny cam in Inge's hat, then all you do is click the Ingevision link on the blog, and voila, you see the world as Inge does! And for those Inge-haters turning pale, be honest--aren't you the least bit curious to see if he's actually even looking on some of those swings? It would be a winner all around...

And soon, because with the three days off for the AS game, what else will there be to talk about. I suggest permanently leaving it the top of the page.

I like the idea of him getting a chance to start. I was never sold on him being a reliver, he didn't seem to have the personality for it, i.e. run out of the bull pen fired up to strike guys out. He seemed more laid back. And by the way, where in the world is Virgil Vasquez? Is he done? What about Tata? Is the finger totally messed up? Or is it a mental thing?
