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 written a lot of stuff on the web. When you post stuff, you can expect a certain amount of feedback. And of all the things I have written on the web, the one single thing I have received the most grief about is this:
Picking the Detroit Tigers to win the AL Central.
I have had people, including my own relatives, question both my sanity and my sobriety. I was also called "Booji-Boy with a fork", which may or may not be a compliment, I'm not sure. Look it up, and you tell me.
In response to these responses, let me respond, while I can, with the current standings in the AL Central:
1. Detroit (2-0)
2. Cleveland (2-1)
3. Minnesota (1-1)
4. Chicago (1-2)
5. Kansas City (0-2)
Do I need to tell you that this is the exact order I predicted for the AL Central standings? Yes, I do. This is the exact order I predicted for the AL Central standings.
So there. :P Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhfffffffffffffffffffft!!!!!
:)
But seriously, unless something goes horribly wrong I can't see the Sox ending up 4th in their division.
