Brandon Inge’s got somethin’ to say!

VCU alum Brandon Inge is currently playing in the World Series but is troubled by the “lack of respect” the Tigers have been getting recently.

The Tigers, often revered as the team that lost 119 games in 2003, are down from the Cardinals two games to one in the 2006 World Series.

In his most recent tiff, he expressed dissatisfaction with Kenny Rogers’ indecent tactics where he pitched a good game with pine tar on his hands.

In an official Major League Baseball interview, he was quoted as saying “This is another prime example of people trying to discredit our team,” he said. “He goes out there battling…whatever he has on his hands, I don’t even care, and people try to discredit what we’re doing here.”

Inge feels as though the other teams the Tigers beat are insulted by the loss because those teams did serious rearranging after the key losses. The Yankees allegedly wanted to fire their manager, Joe Torre. Oakland followed through on firing their manager, Ken Macha.

The uproar within the MLB over the Tigers mostly bothered Inge because the Tigers may not always have been a good team – but they are now in the World Series and doing quite well. Still, nobody wants to forget about the 2003 embarrassments they once were.
