Los Angeles Dodgers: 10 Best Individual Offensive Seasons in L.A. HistoryMay 3, 2012
Los Angeles Dodgers: 10 Best Individual Offensive Seasons in L.A. History
The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding high to start the 2012 MLB season, and no player is more responsible for the team's early success than center fielder Matt Kemp.
All eyes were on Kemp to emerge as the National League's best player entering 2012, following a career year in 2011 (more on that later), the fallout from Ryan Braun's performance enhancing drug fiasco and the defections of Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder to the American League.
He certainly didn't shy away from the pressure, proclaiming that a 50/50 season was in his sights. While that goal seems to be all but impossible after stealing only two bases through the Dodgers' first 25 games, Kemp has delivered arguably the best April of any player in baseball history, complete with a franchise-record 12 home runs.
Building off of last season's success, Kemp, once again, has baseball fans and experts thinking Triple Crown. While the odds of that happening are slim, it's not too early to start thinking about Kemp having the best season in the franchise's 54 years since moving to Los Angeles following the 1957 season.
Let's take a look at the 10 best individual offensive seasons in L.A. Dodgers history, seasons that Kemp's 2012 will eventually be measured up against.
Tommy Davis, 1962
It's fitting that the Brooklyn-born Herman Thomas Davis, originally drafted by the Dodgers in 1956 when the team still called the New York City borough home, would be responsible for the first great offensive season during the team's stint in Los Angeles.
In 1962, Davis led the league in hits (230), batting average (.346) and runs batted in (153, still a franchise record). He added 27 home runs, 120 runs scored and 18 stolen bases to accompany his other league-leading stats, but it wasn't even the most notable season for a Dodger that year.
Davis somehow finished third in the National League MVP voting behind teammate and winner Maury Wills and San Francisco Giants legend Willie Mays.
Steve Garvey, 1978
Although Steve Garvey won the National League MVP in 1974, his 1978 season—during which he finished second to Pittsburgh's Dave Parker—was better statistically in almost every category.
He had more hits (202), doubles (36), triples (nine), runs batted in (113), stolen bases (10) and walks (40) than he did in '74. He also had a higher batting average (.316) and OPS (.852). Garvey's failure to win the MVP in '78 had much more to do with Parker's stellar campaign than any drop off from Garvey.
He may have taken home the hardware in '74, but 1978 was arguably Steve Garvey at his absolute best.
Pedro Guerrero, 1985
Pedro Guerrero didn't play a full season with the Dodgers until his fifth season with the team. But once he did, the results were spectacular. Guerrero took full advantage of his first opportunity to play full time, finishing third in the NL MVP voting in 1982, but he put up even better numbers in 1985.
That season, and in only 137 games played, Guerrero hit .320, while driving in 87 runs, scoring 99 more runs and belting 33 home runs. He also led the league in OBP (.422) and OPS (.999).
Despite missing 25 games, Guerrero still managed another third-place MVP finish, behind winner and St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Willie McGee and Cincinnati Reds outfielder Dave Parker.
Kirk Gibson, 1988
No list of greatest seasons in Dodgers history, even if we go back to the Brooklyn days, can be complete without mentioning 1988. Not only is that the last time that the Dodgers won, or even appeared in, the World Series, but it was also the Year of Gibby aka Kirk Gibson.
Most baseball fans remember Gibson's walk-off home run in Game 1 of the Fall Classic, which has a lot to do with the fact that it was Gibson's only appearance of the series. But most people tend to overlook the MVP regular season that he put together to help Los Angeles reach the postseason.
Gibson edged out New York Mets outfielder Darryl Strawberry for the award by batting .290, driving in 76 runs and scoring 106, while bopping 25 home runs and stealing 31 bases.
This may not stack up with other seasons during the Los Angeles years based on statistical impact, but it is surpassed by few others for pure nostalgia.
Raul Mondesi, 1997
Raul Mondesi's 1997 campaign is often overshadowed because of the monster season put up by Mike Piazza (more on that later). That's a shame because Mondesi had a historic campaign of his own.
That year, Mondesi became the first player in Dodgers history to reach the 30 home run/30 stolen base plateau, the first of two such seasons for him during his career (he repeated the feat in 1999). In addition to his 30 home runs and 32 stolen bases, Mondesi also drove in 87 runs, scored 95, hit .310 and added an impressive .910 OPS.
He also won a Gold Glove for good measure.
Mike Piazza, 1997
When you first glance at Mike Piazza's numbers from the 1997 season, and then consider that he played the physically demanding position of catcher for a National League team, it's hard not to wonder how he managed to finish second in that year's MVP balloting.
Take a look at Larry Walker's numbers, and it immediately becomes clear that, even with the benefit of playing half his games in Coor's Field, Walker had one of the greatest seasons in MLB history.
If Walker's season was one of the best in MLB history, then Piazza's may have been the best season ever for a catcher. He managed to hit .362 (second to Walker's .366) with 40 home runs, 124 runs batted in, and 104 runs scored, all while catching 152 games. He capped all of that with a ridiculous 1.070 OPS.
Many consider Piazza to be the greatest hitting catcher to ever play the game. If you ever find yourself having to defend this claim, look no further than his 1997 season stats as exhibit A.
Gary Sheffield, 2000
You can call Gary Sheffield a lot of things, many of them not good. Just be sure to include the words "professional hitter" to the conversation.
Sheffield had one of the best seasons of his 22-year, eight-team career in 2000 when he launched a career-best 43 home runs while calling the not-so-hitter-friendly park at Chavez Ravine home.
Playing in only 141 games, he also managed to put up 109 runs batted in and score another 105, while batting .325 and delivering a 1.081 OPS, better than Piazza's 1997 season.
Like many of the stops along his major league career, Sheffield's 3.5 years as a Dodger were not without turmoil, but the on-field results were never in question.
Shawn Green, 2001
If Gary Sheffield was the star that everybody loved to hate, Shawn Green was the antithesis of that. After joining the Dodgers via an offseason trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles fans were hoping that Green would be the next great star in the franchise's long and storied history.
Green didn't immediately respond well to his return home (he was raised in Tustin, CA), the pressure of living up to a six-year, $84 million contract extension and being the most prominent Jewish baseball player since Dodger legend Sand Koufax.
After struggling to adjust to his new surroundings in 2000, Green settled into the Dodgers lineup quite nicely in 2001 and, as the saying goes, the numbers don't lie.
Green blasted a Dodgers-record 49 home runs in 2001, while batting .297 with 125 runs batted in, 121 runs scored, 20 stolen bases and an impressive .970 OPS. That was only the second most impressive thing that Green did in 2001, behind the $75,000 donation he made to a charity benefiting victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City.
Adrian Beltre, 2004
If there is an unofficial list of the greatest contract-year performances in MLB history, then Adrian Beltre's 2004 season has to be ranked No. 1.
Beltre was signed by the Dodgers as a 15-year-old out of the Dominican Republic and was a regular starter with the major league club before his 20th birthday. After years of teasing fans with his potential, Beltre entered the 2004 season as a soon-to-be free agent, and at the time, we couldn't wait to wish him good riddance.
So what did Beltre do? He only went Kaiser Soze on the National League, busting out with career highs in almost every major category including batting average (.334), home runs (48), RBIs (121), runs scored (104), OBP (.388), slugging percentage (.629) and OPS (1.017).
Despite the heroics, Beltre was only able to manage a runner-up finish to Barry Bonds in that year's MVP voting.
After the Seattle Mariners bought the fool's gold, inking Beltre to a four-year, $64 million free agent contract, he reverted back to his normal ways with four lackluster seasons there.
Since landing with the Red Sox prior to the start of the 2010 season, Beltre has finally managed to establish his himself as one of baseball's premier third baseman, both offensively and defensively. But he's yet to come close to that incredible outlier that was the 2004 season.
Matt Kemp, 2011
Matt Kemp's breakout 2011 performance has been well documented by now, especially in light of his incredible start to 2012. Most people expected him to build off of his 2011 campaign and have a strong 2012, but expectations were very different for Kemp a little more than a year ago.
Kemp's first five seasons with the Dodgers were uneven to say the least, but 2010 represented the worst-case scenario for the budding star.
After a stellar 2009 campaign during which the then-24-year old Kemp won his first Gold Glove and finished in the top ten in the NL MVP voting, Kemp had a horrendous 2010 which was remembered mainly for two things: consistently staying in manager Joe Torre's dog house and dating pop star Rihanna.
The relationship with Rihanna was short-lived, and Torre retired from managing following the 2010 season. Many hoped that Kemp would rededicate himself to the game of baseball and embrace the fresh start under new manager Don Mattingly, and boy did he ever.
Kemp put up a season for the ages, finishing second to Ryan Braun in the NL MVP race (a race many believe he should have won even before Braun's positive test for performance enhancing drugs) by hitting .324 while leading the NL in runs (115), RBIs (126) and home runs (39).
He finished one home run shy of becoming just the fifth player ever, and first Dodger, to join the 40 home run/40 stolen base club, adding 42 stolen bases to his other gaudy totals. He still managed to become just the second Dodger (joining Raul Mondesi) to reach the 30/30 mark.
Aside from the across-the-board statistical dominance, 2011 was a great sign of things to come for Matt Kemp, and 2012 has proved that his renewed sense of baseball purpose is a long-term commitment.

- My mistake Cadia. I'm currently going through microfilm for the
1923 Honolulu Bulletin...which is why the year stuck in my head.
But the Charles R. Frazier article was from a few months ago
when I was still working on the year 1922.
I'll see if I can transcribe it this weekend...I'm a terribly slow
I've found an Ajinomoto ad which contains a section of the poem
'Vagabond's House.' A few other ads which contain poems
which made it into 'Leaves from a Grass House' and 'Paradise
Loot.' Its fascinating, as I'm seeing the evolution of a poet right
before my very eyes.
One S.B. article humorously referred to Blanding as the poet
laureate of Ajinomoto.
- Hi, Keith,
Great...have you found any indication of a "Blanding page" so far?
There's supposed to be a period of two years that DB did an entire
S-B page, whether daily or weekly I don't know.
Today I received word that my next batch of microfilm is at the
library. Probably December 1926 through early 1927.

SO, Cadia, You're NOT sitting in Honolulu reading this at the Library? Do
you have a special projector to read the microfilm, or have you got it some
way hooked up to your computer to read on the screen? And are you having to
pay the library to send them to you wherever you are? Are you in Washington
State and doing all this work now? Curious minds want to know and grow.

I've read all but the last 3 weeks of 1926 S-B...no Blanding page of
any kind, and precious little else. I've also completed most of
1928 -- the articles about the first Lei Day comprise most of what I
So maybe 1927 is the lucky year?
Off to the library shortly to see what's waiting!
- Hi, Shad O'
Man, I sure wish I were sitting in Honolulu....
Interlibrary loan is a free service (microfilm, books, douments,
etc.) but reference material such as newspaper microfilm cannot be
checked out. The S-B reels come from the Library of Congress. The
Seattle library has a half-dozen microfilm readers hooked up to
printers . . . at 15 cents a page.
My "continuing order" of S-B microfilm was placed last September 1,
and it's almost time to put in a new order. If I'm lucky, a fresh
batch comes in about every 3-4 weeks. The six reels in each batch --
the max they will allow -- usually take me about 10-14 hours to read,
usually in 2 or 3-hour sessions over the course of 7-10 days. I try
to read as quickly as possible so that I can turn them back in and
set the wheels in motion for the next batch.
The old Star-Bulletins are not particularly large, but there were at
least three editions Monday through Saturday. The pre-1929 S-B's are
not indexed, so I work my way through column by column, page by page,
edition by edition. Sometimes the best finds are in the last edition!
The curent batch is January 21 through May 20, 1927. That means they
skipped December 10, 1926 through January 20, 1927, so I'll need to
check up on those dates and make sure I get them next time.
Of particular interest is the opening of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on
February 1, 1927. And, yes, Don Blanding was right there in the
thick of it; his illustrations grace several very large ads (hard to
copy!), he has a bylined article, and I found a small news item that
bears the initials "D.B."
By now, I pretty much know what pages will have information I can
use, and I certainly don't read every single line, but sometimes it's
hard to stay on track. Reading the 1926-28 newspapers is
particularly interesting -- so much was going on in the world! Radio
was in its infancy, as was air travel, and newspapers were the
lifeblood of the community. For me, it's like traveling back into my
mother's childhood and seeing the world through her eyes.
- Cadia,
I'm having as much fun with the 1923 microfilm. Time travel is a
Don painted a mural for the Royal Hawaiian Hotel shortly after it
opened...hopefully there will be a mention of that.

In 1927 or 1928 was the Junior League Event that he directed and wrote and
collaborated on several songs including my golden shower girl and Haole Hula.
Also I believe May 1, 1927 was the first may day lei day celebration.
What exciting period to revisit.

The Assistants Trailer (2009)
Tinseltown has its movers and shakers, but they all first started somewhere as The Assistants in Hollywood. The Assistants is a new movie opening December 3. It's a story about a group of Hollywood assistants who use their positions to lie, con, and blackmail their way into producing their own movie. Though it's funny, certainly, there's also great truth in it. In the film, all these twentysomethings - wannabe actors, writers, directors, craftsmen, etc. - yearn, dream, hope and pray to one day be a success in the film business like those they work for and see all around them. Be careful what you wish for - particularly in Hollywood

For Los Angeles Restaurant week, my girlfriend and I are going to the Water Grill on Friday. They currently offer free corkage, so I'm looking for a potential wine pairing.
Here's the menu: http://discoverlosangeles.com/restaur...
We'll most likely order the following: Calamari, oysters, salmon, porkbelly, red velvet pudding cake and ice cream/sorbet assortment.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We like both reds and whites and are open to almost anything. Would like to stick to about $20 a bottle. Could go a bit more for a fantastic suggestion.
Any help would be greatly apprecited. Thanks!

Welcome back to our read of The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, where we explore the story and techniques of a successful author. To catch up or review previous part of this read, click here.
Chapter 61: Right for Wrong
Summary: After Dalinar's latest vision, he, Navani, and Renarin try to discern how to handle their new discoveries. Navani and Renarin think that revealing Dalinar's visions and their veracity, as proven by the fact that he spoke an ancient language during them, will help vindicate him. Dalinar isn't so certain.
After Renarin leaves the room, Navani lingers and closes the door. She reveals to Dalinar that the reason she returned is that she is an outcast at home. She is nothing but a dead king's wife, to be pampered but ignored. She's sick of it, and she will not allow Dalinar to treat her that way also. When he sees tears in her eyes, he kisses her, something he's been resisting for decades, and so opens a whole new complex element of his life. Too, Navani whispers to him of the return of a Shin assassin with a Shardblade and wearing white, the fact that the highstorms are getting stronger, and men say strange things upon their deaths that no one can explain. She's terrified.
Reader Comments: Yay about Dalinar and Navani! But, too, this is fun how everything is starting to spin together in a whirlwind. Now, it isn't just the characters individually chasing after strange visions or odd abilities, they're drawing together, unifying in ways Dalinar could not have imagined. And that means really bad stuff is probably on the horizon.
Writer Comments: There is a very brief moment in this chapter that's highly charged with emotion and is as affective as any good romance: when Dalinar kisses Navani. Sanderson doesn't go into racy descriptions. Rather, he infuses the scene with deep emotions that are true to the characters, and he picks a few choice, specific details that carry that emotion: the scent of Navani, the salty tears on her lips, the tender touch of her safehand on Dalinar's back. That's all it takes. You don't need racy or erotic descriptions to effectively write a romantic moment, even one that crosses into the physical.
Chapter 62: Three Glyphs
Summary: On the next bridge run, Kaladin dons the armor made of parts of a Parshendi corpse. He runs out ahead of the bridges, intentionally drawing the Parshendi archers. Using Stormlight, he dodges and vaults his way to the chasm, barely taking a nick from the full assault of arrows. As a result, practically no bridgemen are even wounded, and Sadeas himself compliments them in a backhanded sort of way.
Then, as Kaladin stitches up the wounded bridgeman they found, a group of Parshendi, furious that Kaladin has desecrated their dead, attack the exposed bridgemen. In an instant, Kaladin sees everyone he cares about and all he's worked for about to disappear forever. Then Dalinar leaps to their rescue, slaughtering the Parshendi before they can kill a single bridgemen. After, Dalinar salutes Kaladin before heading back to battle.
Reader Comments: I can't wait until these two meet in person and actually interact. And I think Kaladin has just bought himself a whole lot of trouble, despite the fact that he's probably just made huge stride forward in preserving the lives of bridgemen.
Writer Comments: This chapter is a great example of trying to balance realism and epic feats. The way Kaladin charges ahead and takes the full assault of the Parshendi archers is insane and cool. No one should be able to do it. Only his affinity with Stormlight makes it possible. However, after, he shakes and is exhausted. Sanderson allows the epicness, which fits his world, but then makes sure to ground it in reality. This isn't to say that cool feats can't be done. However, unless the point of the story involves crazy level of epic feats, a bit of realism helps ground the story and makes the epic elements more contrastingly cool.
Chapter 63: Fear
Summary: In the chasms, Kaladin and his men gather more bits of Parshendi to make armor. Kaladin is starting to realize that his plan to escape might be even less plausible than he first thought. Now that Bridge Four has made such a name for themselves, Sadeas will be that much more determined not to let them escape.
In the midst of trying to figure all this out, Kaladin's men call him to join them for spear practice, but he refuses. When it comes down to it, he's afraid to pick up the spear again and become the man he was all those months ago.
Reader Comments: I'm starting to think that Kaladin and the bridgemen are not going to get away. Like Shallan, escape would mean Kaladin would leave the main conflict of the story, but also, he's right in that Sadeas will hunt them down at any cost to save face among the other lighteyes.
Writer Comments: There are different types of scenes. There are scenes that focus on action, events, and turning points. These types of scenes are like what happened in the previous chapter. After these action scenes often come reaction scenes where the protagonist slows down long enough to taken in what's happened, react to it, ask question, adjust, and plan for what to do next. This type of scene is what this chapter is composed of. While action is important, non-stop, intense action wears out your reader and your protagonist. Reaction scenes are needed both to let your reader breathe and to build upon the action and deepen the conflict and meaning of the story. Like walking on two feet, both sides are needed for a well rounded story.
Chapter 64: A Man of Extremes
Summary: Navani and Dalinar begin a relationship, albeit as somewhat restrained and hidden one. Dalinar is very conscious of not doing anything that would overtly indicate their relationship, like touching her.
Then, as they're walking together, the horns signally the Tower plateau, the most coveted plateau in the whole Shattered Plain. Dalinar races off. This is a great chance for he and Sadeas to really achieve something. Sadeas comes quickly to strategize and convinces Dalinar to come with as many men as possible and use Sadeas's bridges, now that the bridgemen have a new method that doesn't cost many lives. They'll box the Parshendi in and take out, perhaps a third to half their army in one stroke.
Reader Comments: Why do I have the feeling that this isn't going to go according to plan?
Writer Comments: This is just before the climax. No, I haven't read the actual climax yet, but it has all the markers. First, Sanderson is putting in a lot of detail about the main players and how they're entering this particular conflict. Second, he's been building up to the Tower for a long time. It's never been overt, but he's stated it as the big prize since well before the book's midpoint. Third, all the stops are coming out. Kaladin has his armor for all his men. The other bridge crews are cheering for Bridge Four. Sadeas and Dalinar are fielding an army bigger than any that has ever made a plateau assault and with hope of finally ending the war. Navani and Dalinar are finally, generally, together. Adolin has decided to fully trust his father. Fourth, the stakes are high. Their risking all they can right now, hoping to claim the greatest prize. Fifth, this battle at the Tower will, undoubtedly, turn the lives of all the main characters.
Thank you for joining me for these chapters of The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. We'll resume this read next Monday. Until then, swing back by on Friday for further forays into fiction, the speculative, and life.

I have four great men in my life. Two have passed on and two are still with me. I would like you to meet...
1. My grandpa, Lonnie Edward Maze, Sr.
2. My dad, Lonnie Edward Maze, Jr.
No, we don't have very original names for men in our family, but Proverbs 22:1 says "A good name is more desirable than great riches" and I'm so happy to say that our family name is desirable because of the legacy Lonnie #'s 1 and 2 have left for my brother and I to follow.
My dad died suddenly in 1992 of a stroke, I was 17 years old and a Senior in High School. This December will mark 20 years since his passing. I've lived longer without him than I did with him and that's hard to believe! And my grandpa died in 1999 after a long 7 year battle with cancer. They were upstanding, good, honorable men. The kind of men everyone looked up to (and I'm not just saying that because they're dead now, we really did!). The kind of person who was moral and upright, who built a strong foundation for their families. They weren't perfect and I don't mean to paint the picture that they were, but they were wonderful. They were fun and easy to love. I miss them a little everyday, especially on Father's Day. But after all these years, it's not the same kind of 'missing' them that it once was. I don't get overly sentimental over things they used or things they liked like I did for many years after their death. Especially now that my mom is packing up and moving away from our childhood home, we've had to say goodbye to lots of things of my dad's that we kept just laying around in the garage or stored in the attic because for so long it was too painful to get rid of. Things like his tools, workbench, pharmacy memorabilia, etc. Those are all just things and believe me we have memories that are far more valuable than all of that!
It's not really sad for me anymore because I know they lived their life the way they wanted to, without any regrets. They were both Christian men and so we are comforted in the fact they are together in Heaven with my Heavenly Father. So if you are still grieving the loss of a parent or family member, please know that it does get easier as time moves on, but there is always an emptiness and a longing for those you've loved and lost.
However, I do get a touch sentimental when I think of Molly, Madison, and Eddie not knowing them. My dad would have been a great grandpa! He would have eaten up Madison and Molly, he loved girls! But I can't even explain how overjoyed both grandpa and dad would have been to have known there was a #4 running around! Pure happiness!!! And as ironic as it sounds, Little Eddie, IV reminds us of Grandpa Maze so often because he loves to be outside, picking up sticks, and just being a boy. Oh I can just picture what Grandpa would have done with that little guy running around his place!!
But now it is my responsibility to tell Molly, Madison, and Eddie all about their grandpa and great grandpa. I have many stories to share and although they will never know them as I do, I hope they respect the men they were for our family and honor their name. It is also my responsibility to live a life that would be pleasing to these two men. Proverbs 23:24-25 says "The father of a righteous man (woman) has great joy; he who has a wise son (daughter) delights in him. May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!"
Raising children is difficult, I'm only 2 years into this journey, but I see the burden on the faces of parents these days who are trying to balance everything. My dad and grandpa lived in simpler times, but they also had what so many of us today are lacking...COMMON SENSE! I think I inherited a touch of common sense from them. I don't like the create drama or chaos in my daily life and I certainly do not choose to make my life harder than it should be. They (and many others of their generation) just inherently knew how to be a good dad. They disciplined (with a firm hand) and held very high expectations for their children. In my home there wasn't ever a time my brother or I "told" my dad what we were going to do, he {and mom} were the ones telling us, guiding us, and leading us to make good decisions with our lives.
I cannot count the times my mom, brother, or I have laughed and said, "I know what dad would have done or said" in a particular situation. He was very predictable, very no nonsense when it came to respect and obeying him and mom. But he was also loving and affectionate in a healthy way and providing for his family was always his #1 goal. (close runner ups would be #2 the lake/his houseboat/fishing, #3 football, and #4 good food) :)
I know I'm a better person for having known my dad and grandpa. I say all the time that I am a strong, confident, and successful, single mom because my dad made me feel beautiful everyday and loved me (and my family) so strongly that even today his presence fills our lives. I'd love to tell all of the dads out there to make your daughter feel beautiful and loved everyday and they will not likely go to a boy to try to fill that desire or make poor choices with men as a teenager or young adult. It is true, the father /daughter relationship determines her future most of the time.
I'm really thankful for all of the men in Molly's life who will be father figures to her as she grows up. Of course, my brother, my cousin Jeff, and our neighbor "Pants" are men she sees regularly and she loves them! Recently she has asked about why we don't have a daddy in our family, just from observing other families or something in a movie or on tv. I just answer by explaining how all families are different and in our family it's just a mommy because I'm not married. I told her if I ever get married then I would have a husband and she would have a daddy and she said, "ok"! I've shown her pictures of my dad and told her some about her "grandpa", but of course she doesn't grasp who they are at this point.
For anyone without their fathers on this Father's Day may you be comforted in Psalm 68:5 "A father to the fatherless", that is how God revealed himself to me after I lost my dad and it still comforts me today knowing that He will comfort Molly also as she grows up without a dad in our home.

BRIDGEVIEW, IL - The Chicago Fire Soccer youth development program kicks into high gear for March as several clubs fare well in tournament action and players move onto the college ranks. The Chicago Fire Juniors (CFJ) in the west suburbs recently announced its upcoming tournament schedule, while the club's U15 Red and U18 Red boys teams will join a new league. CFJ-Michigan has seen two players accepted into the Super Y ODP National Team, while one former player signs a letter-of-intent to play for Central Michigan University. CFJ-Mississippi will host its annual Spring Classic Invitational soccer tournament, while 13 of the club's players sign with collegiate soccer programs.
Chicago Fire Juniors
The Chicago Fire Juniors Senior Boys teams will certainly have a busy tournament schedule in the upcoming six weeks. The Senior Boys play in the Border Battle tournament in Jefferson City, Mo. from March 10-11, then travel to St. Louis March 24-25 to compete in the Metro Showcase. The Chicago-based Juniors will meet its Mississippi sister club when the team travels to Jackson, Miss. for the Mississippi Fire Juniors Spring Classic, held March 31 - April 1. The Senior Boys will wrap up its six-week tournament tour in Rockford, Ill. for the Spring Fling Soccer Classic held April 13-14.
The two top Chicago Fire Juniors U15 and U18 boys teams will take their game to the next level by participating in the Midwest Regional League for the 2007 season. The CFJ U15 Red will compete in the Boys U15 First Division West Red, while the U18 Red side will be in the Boys U18 First Division. Both teams will face top programs from Wisconsin, Missouri, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. The MRL is one of the best leagues in the country and provides the highest level of competitive play for youth teams in US Youth Soccer Region II (the Midwest Region) and assures the continued growth and development of elite level players.
Chicago Fire Juniors - Michigan
Congratulations to Chicago Fire Juniors-Michigan standouts Anne Steinlage and Lauren Gagnon, who were selected for the Super Y 1992 ODP National Team from the recent tryouts in Cocao Beach, Florida. The Super Y tryout, held February 8-11, finds elite players who are later named to the Super Y-League Select Teams and exposes them to U.S. Soccer Staff Coaches for further inclusion into National Team programs. Players named to the select teams are also eligible for domestic or international trips the teams may take.
CFJ-Michigan has announced that forward Amanda Loudin officially signed a national letter-of-intent on Feb. 9 to play soccer at Central Michigan University. Loudin has been a member of the Fire Juniors-Michigan for the past three years, winning a district championship in 2005 with the CFJ-Michigan under coach Javier Lopez. The Holland, Mich. native was a two-year letter winner in soccer at Hamilton High School, earning all-district, all-conference, and all-county honors as team captain in each of the last two seasons and was a top scorer in the West Michigan Women's Hispanic Soccer League. Loudin has been a part of the American Youth Soccer Organization as a referee and a coach for five years and as a player for seven years.
The CFJ-Mich. U15 Boys began the 2007 season with a bang at the recent Atletico Flames Round Robin tournament held March 3-4 in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. The U15s dominated the competition, tallying 25 goals while giving up just one overall through a span of four games at the Mike Carroll Soccer Complex. In the team's first test, the U15 Boys defeated JPFC (Ky.) 3-0 with goals from Nick Heyboer, Zach Willis and Michael Gagnon. Later in the day the Juniors side crushed Vipers (Ky.) by a 10-0 margin, led by dual hat-tricks from both Willis and Heyboer, as well as goals from Gagnon, Connor McMahon, Ben Honeycutt and Matthew VanSytveld.
Day two of the tournament saw the U15s romp over Croatian Eagles (Wis.) 8-0, as Gagnon scored twice while Honeycutt, Heyboer, Willis, Christian Rossi, Jordan Tejchma, and Charlie Mulliner all added to the lead. The fourth and final game of the weekend saw CFJ-Michigan win 4-0 over Michigan Nationals (Mich.), courtesy of a two-goal game from McMahon and strikes from Heyboer and Honeycutt.
Chicago Fire Juniors - Mississippi
The following Chicago Fire Juniors-Mississippi players signed letters of intent on Feb. 7, a national signing day for high school students to play at the college level. Chicago Fire Soccer would like to congratulate the following future college players: Rachel Givan, (North Carolina), Janet Self (University Alabama Birmingham), Kendal Lee (University Alabama Birmingham), Sarah Prevost (Delta State University), Heather Roberson (Mississippi College), Lauren Host (Mississippi State University), Leanna Baldner (Mississippi State University), Emily Selman (University of Arkansas Little Rock), Jason Page (Holmes Community College), Brandon Ballou (Holmes Community College), Adam McDade (Holmes Community College), Nicholas Arcemont (Holmes Community College), and Casey Ambrose (Mississippi College).
The CFJ-Mississippi U16 Girls lost a heartbreaker in the final of the Clinton Magnolia Cup, held Feb. 16-18 in Clinton, Miss. The U16 Girls defeated Clinton Rage 3-2 with two goals coming from Ashley Malloy and one goal from Joanna Turner, but dropped its following match 0-2 to Laurel FC. The girls bounced back though, defeating Memphis FC 2-1 courtesy of another two-goal performance from Malloy to reach the final - the team's first final of the year. In the final game, the U16s tied 1-1 in regulation time with a goal scored by Katie McCain, but were defeated 4-2 in penalty kicks to take second place in the Magnolia Cup.
Chicago Fire Juniors-Mississippi has announced it will host the Spring Classic Invitational Soccer Tournament from March 30-April 1 in Ridgeland, Miss. to coincide with an MLS Exhibition Game featuring the Chicago Fire. The annual tournament will feature teams coming from all over the Southeast and even a few from the North and Northeast. The Exhibition game on March 31 will pit the Chicago Fire against CD Chivas USA at Freedom Ridge Stadium with kick off set for 7:30 p.m. CT in a re-match of last year's exhibition.
"Last year we had 156 teams attend our tournament," said Kenny White, Technical Director of CFJ-Miss. "The ability to have the MLS Exhibition game tied into the tournament takes the event to another level".
For Spring Class Invitational Tournament information and an application to compete, please visit www.mississippifirejr.com. For game and ticket information for the March 1 match-up between the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA, go to www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1419501.
Chicago Fire Juniors - Elm Grove
Members of the Elm Grove U15 Girls Academy team recently competed in the Super F Champions Cup National Futsal Tournament, held in Kansas City, MO on February 16-18. The team finished with one win, two losses and one tie, eventually falling in the semifinals. Participating members included: Katie Jacobson, Kristin Becker, Lauren Wabiszewski, Karla Valadez, Jessica Kosmider, Rhianna Seltzer, Ellen Chamberlin, and Angie Behrens.

Let the Madness Begin: Four New Questions About Mobile's Future
(Page 2 of 3)
actually make sense. If you simply go to the Android Market and use Google's tools to search for "restaurant guide," the first result is a game called Restaurant Story. At iTunes, the first result is an app I've never heard of, called Where To Eat. Chomp, by contrast, shows you Urbanspoon, Yelp, Zagat, OpenTable, and Foodspotting, which really are five of the leading apps in the area of restaurant-finding.
Apple must have realized how badly it was being outclassed at its own game, because it bought Chomp a couple of weeks ago for an undisclosed sum. I'm hoping they'll use Chomp's technology to completely rearchitect the App Store, which was thoughtlessly glommed onto the existing iTunes music store four years ago and hasn't improved an iota since then. As for Google, well, it could always think about buying Tapjoy, which recently morphed from an "incentivized user acquisition platform" into an app recommendation service.
2. Cross-platform development—Will it get easier?
Pre-iPhone and pre-Android, the biggest problem for developers of mobile software was that they had to create a separate version of their application for every model of phone. Then of course, they had to negotiate with the carriers to get their apps onto the phone's "decks" or top-level menus. Today's world is vastly simpler. On the other hand, if app developers want to reach as many users as possible, they still have to build for both the iOS and Android operating systems, and, if they want to be really thorough, BlackBerry and Windows Phone too. It's a pain and a waste. What app developers need is either 1) a way to write their apps for one mobile operating system and have them automatically adapted for the others, or 2) a universal app platform analogous to the Web. Like, maybe, the actual Web.
Entrepreneurs are pursuing two kinds of solutions. In one corner you have what I call the "transcoding" companies, like Appcelerator, PhoneGap (now part of Adobe), and Rhomobile (now part of Motorola Solutions) that take software written in common languages HTML and JavaScript (at Appcelerator and PhoneGap) or Ruby (at Rhomobile) and package them into apps that run natively on iPhones, Android devices, BlackBerry devices, and Windows phones.
3. Location—Could it still be an organizing principle?
Lots of startups hoped to build big businesses around location-based search or location-based social networking, but that turns out to be pretty hard. Boston-based Where did a great job of building a location-driven search and advertising operation, but ultimately sold its business to the PayPal division of eBay, which will likely use it to enhance its mobile payment offerings. Foursquare, Gowalla, SCVNGR, Facebook, and others tried to give consumers reason to check in from their phones at local businesses and other locations, but only Foursquare has stuck to that vision. (Gowalla was acquired by Facebook, which plans to shut it down. SCVNGR pivoted to local deals and payments. Facebook demoted its own Places system so that checking in at a location is now just one aspect of posting a status update. And by the way, I admit that I was totally wrong in my August 2010 post Why Facebook Places Will Make Foursquare Into a Footnote.)
The answer to my sixth question from last year's post is that location technology is just a feature, not a business unto itself, with the exception of location-infrastructure companies like Skyhook. But then along comes Pinwheel. I don't want to make too much of this, as the service is still in a closed, invitation-only beta testing period. But when Caterina Fake, the co-founder of Flickr and Hunch, puts her mind to a location-based content sharing system, it's surely a sign that the possibilities opened up by the GPS and mobile revolutions have not been exhausted.
The other day my friend Semil Shah tweeted a provocative question: "Q: If Facebook is where we keep 'people,' and Pinterest is where we keep 'things,' where will we keep 'places'?" I tweeted back, "Pinwheel?" and I really think that Fake's idea has that kind of potential. From Pinwheel's mobile site (soon to be an iPhone app), you can create notes and … Next Page »

Excellent quality
I have another area rug in my house that I thought was good quality--- until this one arrived today. This rug makes the other one look cheap. Beautiful rug- truly excellent quality. The size is approximate-- mine measures 2-3 inches longer and wider than 6'x 9', not included the fringe, but I doubt that would make a difference to most people. This is more expensive than some similar rugs on Overstock, but in this case you truly get what you pay for, and I think you would pay MUCH more elsewhere. It is just gorgeous. Colors are always tricky-- in real life it appears a little deeper and warmer in real life than on the computer screen. The ivory is more like a warm yellowish-beige. Fine with me since although ivory is lovely, it's a hassle to keep clean and looking good.Read More
Love it!
It was helpful to read other reviews for the color. Not bright red - a little more toward rust. It does shed a bit. It also seems to be susceptible to being picked - strands of the weave stick out here and there after a few months.Read More

Rug looks like a million bucks. Took a few days to loosen up from being rolled up for shipping, but it did, and it looks terrific in my living room. Good value for the price, it is thick and the workmanship is quite nice. Red is perhaps a little more muted than I was expecting, but that may just be the colors on my monitor.Read More
