Some thoughts on this year's overall record:

• We broke out of the blocks with an amazing 11-0 start, sort of like how the Dodgers started their 2012 season, with a lot of fire.
• After trading off some wins and losses, we then broke off an eight-game losing streak, with the wheels falling off the wagon...again, sort of like how the Dodgers continued their 2012 season, exploding in a fiery mass of destruction.
• Amazingly, all but one of the Sons of Steve Garvey fared about even. Nomo went 7-6 and Stubbs went 4-3, so both of them ended a game above .500. Dusty (10-10) and Sax (6-6) were perfectly mediocre. And AC and DelinO each went 2-3, one game below .500. Orel was the lucky Son, going 6-2.
• Just to point out once more, Dusty went to 20 Dodger games last year. Nice.
• The Sons of Steve Garvey ended up going to 42 games last year in total, 40 of which were home games--so almost half of all Dodgers home games. Assuming this holds up next year, you've got an even chance at meeting a Son at a baseball game--which should either keep you from attending altogether, or should have you start commenting more on the gamethreads, so we can consider buying you a beer sometime.
• The Sons went 1-1 on the road last year, which included this awesome 4-0, series-sweeping win against the hated Giants which also featured an appearance from one of our blog's good friends (and fanerman, as well).
• The Sons' .571 winning percentage exceeded the Dodgers' .531 winning percentage (86-76); and the Sons' .575 home winning percentage exceeded the Dodgers' home winning percentage of .556 (45-36). With that in mind, let me remind you that the Sons are available to attend Dodger games for a fee (we also do barmitzvahs and weddings). Don't take the Sons to away games, however, where our .500 winning percentage was edged by the Dodgers' .506 percentage.
