Brandon Inge has made up his mind about Toledo.
He allowed himself to be shipped to the Mud Hens rather than go through the designation for assignment process.
Yesterday's phone call from Mike Ilitch may have influenced his decision. Stick around, go to Toledo, come back in September, there will always be a place for you in the organization. Yes, every boss needs a spy in the clubhouse. Jim Campbell had Dick Tracewski. Ilitch has Jim Price, but he won't be around forever. Inge as new manager Mike Hargrove's third base coach would do just fine.

Just when I thought no one was paying attention --
Conversation snip overheard in the grocery store parking lot this afternoon: "Out of range, 97-1 The Ticket, AM 1270, yep, just out of range ..."
Well, not necessarily. WXYT on AM has increased power to way more than it had when I listened to top 40 Wixie in the 60s, and can be heard on the smallest radio. Even my old gamer:
And if you live in Port Huron, you have no excuses for not getting 97.1. North of town, where I am, there's a local 96.9 in Lexington squeezing it. Then, you need a good FM radio, like an old silver-face Pioneer. Sensitive radios for sensitive, caring, creative artists.

Homers by Boesch and Peralta, and eight innings of one-run / nine strikeout ball from JV, gave the Tigers an easy 6-2 win at Minneapolis tonight.
Wilson Betemit hit ninth,.went 1 for 4 and, for those fans who miss Hinge, struck out and made an error. But the misplay caused no damage, and .280 in the box score looks a whole lot better than .177.
With the Indians idle, the win moves the Tigers into first by a half game.
