There should be a word to describe the feeling of reading about off-season transactions involving players that were once associated with the Dodgers, but I had previously either purposefully or accidentally wiped from my baseball memory.

Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Matt Kemp has a legion of female fans that know absolutely nothing about baseball — They don’t necessarily like him for his triple crown prowess, or the fact he makes crazy bank. Here is another pic of Kemp with a ‘big’ fan — I can’t believe Spring Training is right around the...

The Dodgers' sale process formally begins today! And the key point from the LAT's Bill Shaikin is, don't cry for Frank McCourt:
How much money does McCourt need to break even?
That could be a billion-dollar question. In a court filing last week, the Dodgers listed $573 million in debt. McCourt has the option to sell or keep the Dodger Stadium parking lots, but the...

It’s never good when one of your team’s best offensive weapons posts an ISO almost 25 percent worse than their previous career low, and it’s doubly bad when that player is just 29 years old and should be in their prime. That’s Andre Ethier‘s 2011 season in a nutshell. His power almost completely vanished, and by the end of the season fantasy owners and...

Geez, this was really not where I wanted to find FJL. However I have to say that at least from the Dodgers' perspective, the enigma that is Loney is indeed a point of frustration:
As a Mariners fan in the 1980s, one player absolutely wrecked me above all others: Jim Presley. He was a third baseman with good power, a quick bat and a strong arm. In 1985, his first full season...

As the bankers handling the sale evaluate the bids, prospective buyers can evaluate whether to join forces. In addition, because the bankers can waive the deadline at their discretion, new bidders could emerge...

It is time to fire up the ol' What If Machine. This edition of our trip down hypothetical lane is courtesy of the tale of Frank McCourt who now officially has received several bids to buy the Dodgers. What does this have to do with the Angels? Well, as some people already know, McCourt originally tried ot buy the Angels before Arte Moreno won out.

I would be a great choice. I’m smart, I work well with others, and I’m a team player. I would bring a decade and a half of playing experience, two decades of fandom, and about a year of baseball blogging experience with me. I’m definitely what you would consider well informed. I’m audacious enough to make the big move but wise enough to know when to stand...
