This week's Bless You Boys Podcast is also our Detroit Tigers2012 season preview, with special guest Craig Calcaterra of NBC Sports' Hardball Talk. Craig, an admitted baseball hipster and Allison's significant other, gives us the national perspective on the Tigers.

Brandon Inge is on the roster bubble. Is this the end of Inge?

-
Jacob Turner sent to Toledo...but for how long?
- Another JohnMoz supplied lightning round with references to gifting ties, Twilight, hotfoots, Inge and Casper Wells channeling Lloyd Dobler.
Brandon Inge mentions: Kurt creates a new prime number using "Inge". So there's plenty of Inge content...though some fans may not like what they hear.
