1979 Dodgers | 36-57 (.387) | July 19 | 43-26 (.623) | 79-83, third place, 11 1/2 GB |
2011 Dodgers | 37-51 (.420) | July 7 | 33-21 (.611) | 70-72, third place, 12 GB (through Thursday) |
After the 1979 season, the Dodgers rallied in 1980 to force a tie for the National League West title after 162 games. Proposal: We take the 163rd game away from 1980, which really did the Dodgers little good, and stick it at the end of the 2011 schedule, which is missing a game and where it will do much less harm.
