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.

Jason Kendall just hit his first home run as an Oakland Athletic!
Holy Toledo!
If the A's come back and win the division, this may be the moment where things turn around. If Kendall can homer...all the bad luck may be reversing itself, right here, right now.
I can hope, anyway.
Update: It's his first home run since July 27, 2004, off Paul Byrd of the Atlanta Braves.
Thus, I have to ask...did Jason Kendall really homer ???
Macha: "I don't know. I think they were resuscitating him."
Number of Kendall homers before Ken posts a photo of a Silicon Valley CEO: 0
Number of Kendall homers after Ken posts a photo of a Silicon Valley CEO: 1
Clearly, the solution is mandatory, daily postings of Silicon Valley CEOs lording their wealth and privilege over their worker bees.
That is, assuming the Kendall home-run wasn't staged like the moon landing.
