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.

Harden's back is fine, but now his elbow hurts. Criminey!
This really pops my balloon. I had visions of the A's getting on a roll, climbing back up the standings, and winning this very weak, very winnable division. I have a hard time seeing that happening now. And if Esteban Loaiza looks bad today against Cleveland, I'll be really depressed.
Rich Harden is turning into the next Mark Prior, and the A's are turning into the Chicago Cubs right before our eyes. You think you're going to have a great rotation for years to come, and then poof!, it all turns to ashes. Next thing you know, all you have is Carlos Zambrano/Dan Haren and a bunch of band-aids.
The names roughly mean green and yellow in Arabic and Portuguese.
...the A's are turning into the Chicago Cubs right before our eyes...except with competent management.
