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.

2008 Stats
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.

The A's scored four runs in an inning last night, while I had left the room to change a diaper and Stewmate Philip Michaels left his TV to go shopping. The key to the A's offense, obviously, is to not pay any attention to it.
So let's not pay attention as the A's take on all-star starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia. Before the bottom of each half inning I shall declare a new activity besides watching the game that I am focused on. Meanwhile, Dana Eveland makes his first start as an Athletic. He pitched great in spring training. What are the odds that Eveland ends up having a better year than Dan Haren?
Too bad that game wasn't at 7 pm, then you could be an REM fan "Gardening at Night"
(yes, I'm an REM fan ... and I approve of this post)
Clearly, I have to be driving places for the A's to score. I hope they'll start pitching in with the gas bill.
