MLB Heavyweight Champion

If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.

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.

"Angels first place, A's second place, Rangers third place, Mariners last place," Selig said. "Sound familiar yet? If not, get used to it, as that will be your AL West for the next 20 or so years."

So why bother even hiring a manager?

Orel Hershiser? In green and gold? Are you kidding me? That's just way too weird to actually happen.

Not that he wouldn't make a good manager, but...it's just unthinkable.

Then again, Hershiser did wear a Giants uniform once. That's probably even more unfathomable.

But really, Billy Beane is just screening Paul DePodesta's calls, right? Right?

Or maybe, the Dodgers and A's got their brains caught in a lunar-powered thought transferrence device, and they are gradually becoming the other. Next thing you know, The Dodgers will start wearing white shoes, and Tommy Lasorda will start telling everyone he bleeds green.

If Nova Science NOW were there, they'd take the women out of the water, and perform surgery on them.

"So why bother even hiring a manager?"

Apparently, Billy Beane asked himself the same question...
