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.

With this walk:
My Nick Swisher fast (see sidebar, at bottom) is finally over. He had an extra-base hit (a double) and a walk in the same game.
The fasting has worked wonders, especially with Kendall and Loaiza, but really, there isn't anybody on the A's who is stinking now, except maybe Antonio Perez. Should I do a Perez fast?
Nah, what's the point?
2 I thought about fasting Dan Haren, but I haven't reached the annoyed/concerned phase yet. Another bad start or two, and I could get there.
