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.

A's WBC Recap
2006-03-16 19:56
by Ken Arneson

With Mexico and the USA eliminating each other tonight, all four of the A's players involved in the World Baseball Classic are now done. Here's how they did:

Marco Scutaro, Venezuela. 0-for-4, 1 BB, 1 run.
Esteban Loaiza, Mexico. 9 IP, 5 runs, 10 hits, 5 BB, 4 SO.
Kiko Calero, Puerto Rico. 3 1/3 IP, 0 runs, 1 hit, 1 BB, 1 SO.
Huston Street, USA. 3 IP, 0 runs, 0 hits, 2 BB, 2 SO.

Both Street and Calero were outstanding. Loaiza had one good outing (against Canada), and one bad one (against Japan). Scutaro hardly played at all, but hopefully, he'll get used to that.

I have an opening for one or three teams (not two--it's a head-to-head league and you need an even # of teams) in a Yahoo fantasy baseball league. If anyone wants to play, email catfish AT zombia d.o.t. com, and I'll send you an invite.

It's a very low-key, casual league.

Update: League is full now. Thanks.
