    Please excuse me guys I'll do my homework... ok... April 8 AZ was 3-0 and Dodgers suffered first lost to go 3-1; April 10 it was 4-0 vs 4-1; by April 11 we were 5-1 and AZ was 4-1.

    OK so we were out of first place for 3 days... shit that screws up the entire season... LOL

    In 2009 we were 1 GB on April 13, went into 1st place on April 15th and never looked back.

    I couldn't find a season where the Dodgers have "technically" ever gone wire-to-wire in first place. In 1955 they started the season 0.5 games out only because of the schedule, went 10-0 in their first 10 games and never looked back.

    This season, of course, we've already spent a few days out of first.

    I would venture to think we have gone wire to wire before.

    1955. Technically we were .5 out before our first game, but our winning % would have had us in first since we started 10-0. So 1955 we went wire to wire. Only time as far as I can tell.

    AZ won today.

    I hope we find a way to add a bat. Desperate for one. I want Oswalt. Why did we need to sign Harang again?

    Not that Brown the lesser can coach worth a shit but it's nice to see the Lakers feed the Bigs... who really cannot be defended by 6'8" players
