After last night's win against the Dbacks, the Dodgers are boasting the best overall record in baseball. 19 wins, 8 losses, and a 11-game home-winning streak. You would never know it though, judging from the media coverage they've been receiving. I'm wondering if this is just still the west-coast cold shoulder effect that we've accused the media of before, or the fact that LA really hasn't played against serious competition. It could be a combination of both, but for now, I'm containing my excitement over their hot start to '09.
Of course, I'm thrilled to see the Dodgers beating up on the NL West, but it's safe to say that we'll know more about these group of Dodgers after the next few weeks. The Phillies, Marlins, Mets, and Cubs are on tap in this month of May and should really test the toughness of The Blue.
As for now, they go for 12 straight home-wins tonight against the Dbacks. I'm sorry Todd, but Jeff Weaver just might beat out Jason Schmidt for comeback player of the year.

Who needs the press coverage anyway? The season is still so young that too much love from ESPN might only be a jinx.
It's not how you start, it's how you finish.
I'm not a fan of Jeff Weaver. Don't really have any valid points to back it up with, I just don't believe in the guy.
Schmidt is on the rise again. He'll make it back to the bigs to reclaim his title from Weaver. Weaver has the advantage of having a shoulder, but we'll see whose on top come the end of the season.
