Brandon Inge: The Crybaby
Alright, enough is enough.
I am so sick and tired of hearing Brandon Inge whine and complain about losing his starting position.
Since losing his starter status at third base, all we’ve heard from Inge is how he’s disappointed about losing his position, how he doesn’t want to catch and how he doesn’t want to be a utility man.
At the same time, he says he’ll do whatever it takes to be part of the team, he’ll play whatever back-up position they want him to, etc.
Yet, I constantly read quotes like this one:
“Kind of a downer feeling,” Inge said after three innings at catcher. “I’m a little frustrated, actually, right now.
“Nothing has changed, but having caught a game reinforces my thoughts. It really makes me realize that I love third base.”
Well, BOO F’N HOO!
Grow up man. You’re in the major leagues! That’s what happens you idiot! If you don’t perform, you get replaced.
If you wouldn’t have posted a .236 batting average last year, you might not even be in this position, so cry me a river you big baby!
And you wonder why we can’t trade your ass! You’re overpaid and under performing. The numbers don’t lie.
Oh, it’s so unfair that we got a better player than you! Waaaaaaah! I hate to break it to you Inge, but that’s the nature of major league sports.
You think the Tigers owe you something? Why? Because you were here when we had 100+ loses in one season, that makes you entitled to start? Please!
The Tigers owe it to themselves, not to mention the fans and the city, to do whatever they feel is necessary to improve the team…not worry about how unhappy you are due to losing your starting spot.
To be honest, I like Brandon Inge. I think he’s a hell of a third baseman…defensively. He can’t hit to save his life, but is still a pretty good third baseman.
But look, if you have a problem being a back-up or a utility man or even riding the pine, all while collecting your $20 million (or however much it is) THEN QUIT!
Or how about you just take your damn money and STFU!
Or here’s a solution: ask the Tigers to release you. It will negate your contract and then you can go sign with another team for $2 million a year. Sound good to you?
Or maybe you’ll be happier being sent down to the minors? Then you can start all you want!
You may have been a fan favorite, but at this point, no one gives a damn about if you’re playing or not, so GET OVER IT.
Awww, what’s wrong? You don’t want a championship ring?
Way to be a team player.
