So I know it's a little early to be scoreboard watching. It's only been the first month of the season. What a crazy month it has been. Who would've thought that the Giants would manage to stay afloat in the National League West, while the Padres and Rockies are in the bottom half of the division? We knew the West was going to be a wild race ... but who would've thought that the Giants weren't going to be in last place the whole time? No surprise there ... Nationals are last in the NL East. I've been following the standings for the last week or so ... figured the best place to keep track of the standings would be on my blog. I'll try to do it week to week. I like to see how the leaders of the different divisions change from week to week. BTW... DODGERS WIN EIGHT IN A ROW!!!
