Remember that time in the season that wasn’t so long ago? That time when the Los Angeles Dodgers were floundering in mediocrity and looked far from a team that could be considered World Series contenders?
That time is firmly in the rear view mirror, and the team that was once — rather unbelievably — somewhat of an afterthought as far as October contenders, made a statement that they are indeed back.
The Dodgers went a perfect 7-0 this past week — part of a 12-1 run to begin August — and continued to seize control over a division they’d been third in just two months prior.
