Memories Of Kevin Malone:
I've always wanted to stick mainly to baseball related or Dodger related stuff on this site, and while this technically is Dodger related, it has nothing to do with baseball. My apologies in advance, but I just had to post about this.
"Jeff Kent, who played second base for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, has stepped into the emotional world of same-sex marriage, giving $15,000 to backers of the California proposition on Tuesday's ballot that would ban it.
In a disclosure filed with the California secretary of state, Kent listed his occupation as professional baseball player for the Dodgers and his address as Austin, Texas. He gave the $15,000 in a transaction dated Monday but which only now is public.
Proposition 8 would ban same-sex marriage by imposing a California constitutional amendment that would define marriage as being between one man and one woman."
You gotta love Jeff Kent, don't you? Remember, this is a guy who has fought with teammates, been accused of racism, can't take a joke, ruins clubhouses, calls out legendary broadcasters, and doesn't want to give money to dying kids.
Now, i'm not saying that

2008 Season In Review: Catchers
Russell Martin
Down year, right? Not quite. There was a regression here for sure, but I don't think it was as bad as people think.
In his 25-year-old season, Martin solidified himself as one of the top catchers in all of baseball. Among MLB catchers, Martin was 5th in VORP (33.7), 6th in bRAA (11.07) and 4th in RC (88). Yes, in general, his statistics weren...

Ned Colletti Frightens And Confuses Me
So good old Uncle Ned held a press conference today and somehow managed to sink my confidence level in him even lower.
He gave a lot of fodder quotes about Manny Ramirez and how they don't need to sign him at all costs because it's the team that needs to be good. Blah blah blah. It's basically a bunch of crap to save his ass when he fails at signing Ramirez.
