The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.
The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

I have some slideshows from my visits to Dodger Stadium and Angel Stadium (Requires JavaScript):
lovely pictures. i am going to miss dodger stadium a lot after i move in a couple of weeks.
However, the Dodgers don't sell all of their current suites, so I'm hoping McCourt & Co have thought this plan out.
And there are also plans to put a retail development on the outer edge of the parking lot, but that's much further in the offing.
My opinion is that "Think X", where X is an adjective, is a valid English grammatical structure. But I believe more in descriptive linguistics than prescriptive: if enough people use a grammatical structure, then at some point it becomes valid.
why can't Think X be Think Noun sometimes and Think Adverb sometimes and Think Adjective sometimes?
i don't know if i like descriptive linguistics. languages have to evolve, certainly, but we shouldn't simply adopt grammatically incorrect forms just because particular mistakes are so commonplace. i mean, "your kidding", right? :P

As for descriptive linguistics, that's why I said "at some point". Clearly, there's room for disagreement as to where that point is, but I think that one of the strengths of the English language is its willingness to accept change.
Kerry: Yes, these were with the Nikon.
I almost always sit in the Blue seats at Dodger Stadium. And unless I'm going with someone who won't walk up the stairs, I always climb up to the top. Friends and I have dubbed that walk "Mount O'Malley" or "The Trail of Tears". The escalator is only on the third base side.
