J's Dodger Blog: October 2010

http://jsdodgerblog.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 17, 2010. Dodgers Sign Ted Lilly. I wasn't even in offseason mode yet, and look at the Dodgers, jumping in with a splash. (Small splash? Medium sized splash.). The Dodgers re-upped with Ted Lilly, signing him to a three year deal. This news is a little bit bittersweet for me. Will Ted Lilly be good next year (definition of good being 25 starts, about 4.00 ERA)? I'm won't be surprised if we're regretting this deal by half-way through the second year. UPDATE: Lilly gets 3 years and $33 mill...

J's Dodger Blog: September 2011

http://jsdodgerblog.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 29, 2011. The 2011 Season: Some Thoughts. So, I guess that happened. That being the entire 2011 season. Anyway, I just had a couple of thoughts that were too long for Twitter and decided to post them here. And getting a handful of homeruns and some solid defense from Juan Uribe (HAHAHA! Obviously, things didn't go right. On the bright side, Uribe did end up the star of one of the best baseball memes of the season. This team deserves a lot of credit for the strong finish. And that ...

J's Dodger Blog: Offseason Awards: Reliever of the Year

http://jsdodgerblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/offseason-awards-reliever-of-year.html

Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Offseason Awards: Reliever of the Year. Alright, I'm gonna jump into these awards with the Reliever of the Year. Historically (all of two years), I've started with Comeback Player of the Year. This year though, not a whole lot to go on. If it means anything, Jay Gibbons. And he had all of 80 plate appearances this season, so, there you go. And provided Jeter-esque Gold Glove defense in left. Anyway, let's talk Reliever of the Year. Yeah, I'm not screwing around. Sons Of Stev...

J's Dodger Blog: April 2011

http://jsdodgerblog.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 11, 2011. 10 Games Into 2011: Some Thoughts. Yes it is. I should point out that I've pretty much abandoned this blog and moved my Dodger opining exclusively to Twitter. Except, that is, for when I have thoughts longer than 140 characters (not often). Anyway, the Dodgers stand 6-4 after ten games, and I have some thoughts. 1 I'm still worried about this somewhat patchwork roster. Of the 25 men to make the roster, I'm still at unease with five of them. And isn't how I. Inside The Dodgers Blog.

Sunday, September 26, 2010. Dodgers Retrospective - Week 25. We're almost there. This long, winding death-march to mediocrity ends in a week. I'm in a weird place with the Dodgers right now. I'll be honest, I haven't really been watching many games these past few weeks, at least not actively. I'll have the game on in the background with the sound down while I do other stuff or I'll check the score every now and then, but I can't seem to just sit down and watch them. In fact, it's detrimental to us. Some ...

J's Dodger Blog: February 2010

http://jsdodgerblog.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 3, 2010. I know I haven't been posting a lot, but it's all part of the plan. You see, this is how I've been going about this offseason:. Picture the offseason as a glass. Every meaningless signing adds a few drops to the glass. Eventually, the glass starts to get full and overflows. And then, as all the non-roster invitees are spilling on the counter, I finally decide to do something about it. Why am I doing it like this? Consider this post emptying out the glass. Alfredo Amezaga - Ut...

J's Dodger Blog: March 2010

http://jsdodgerblog.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 28, 2010. It was apparently decided a few days back that Garret Anderson would be taking the left handed pinch hitting role over Doug Mientkiewicz. Now, this really shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone, but a still shocked Mientkiewicz. Supposedly left camp when he heard the news. Which is interesting because I just read this blurb in ESPN Magazine from Kim Ng. Now, you would think a guy like Mientkiewicz. Came back today demanding his release. First of all, nice job of throwing the coa...

J's Dodger Blog: Offseason Awards: Rookie of the Year

http://jsdodgerblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/offseason-awards-rookie-of-year.html

Thursday, November 11, 2010. Offseason Awards: Rookie of the Year. I'm doing some more consolidating of the offseason awards I hand out. Today, I'm cutting out the Gold Glove, mainly because fielding is hard to judge and checking out the UZR leaderboards on the Dodgers, I'm seeing Reed Johnson at number one, which seems acceptable except for how small the sample size is. Then, at number two, you have Casey Blake, which greatly surprised me. That leaves us with our last two candidates: Ely and Jansen....

Sunday, April 25, 2010. Dodgers Retrospective - Week 3. Week 3 was a step back from Week 2. 2-4, losing two straight series on the road, just like Week 1. So for those of you keeping score at home, Dodgers are 4-2 in games at home against the NL West . and they are 4-8 in games on the road against the rest of the league. At least a turn around can't be too far away, right? Alright, enough of that, it's time to hand out some stars. Ethier went 7-23 this week, with three walks and a couple homeruns. First ...
