Back in First.

What a difference a week makes. The Dodgers have won eight of out their last ten, and five straight, to climb back into a tie for first with the Padres. The Jints are a half game back. Last night Kaz Ishii threw a one hitter to complete a sweep of Arizona, 11-0. Not bad considering they are still near the bottom of the league in runs scored. I suspect it's going to be a long season.

This week saw the end of Eric Gagne's streak of eighty-four consecutive saves when he blew one against Arizona Monday night. It turned out to be harmless as the Dodgers won in extra innings. How impressive was the streak? The Streak )

It's a gray day outside, and very humid. Tonight is Somervillain game night, so another drive is in my future.
