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.

Current Champion (as of 8/12):
Milwaukee Brewers

The last time I can remember going to a game at the Oakland Coliseum like today's, a game that just seemed to drag on and on

and on

and on and on and on

and on

and on and on and on and on

and on

*sigh*

and on

and on and on and on

and on

and on and on,

was back in the days

ex...hale...

when Tony LaRussa

--pause--

was manning the dugout.

Ah yes...

Thanks for the memory. How lovely it was.

I just like the fact that everyone's heading to the mound to meet La Russa except Rolen, who's heading the other way.

1 Yeah, that's funny. I also liked the picture because the only guy on the Cardinals who doesn't look as bored out of his skull as the rest of the 34,000 people in the park is Albert Pujols. Everyone else is studying the grass or the dirt or something, trying to find something--anything--interesting to look at.
