Scott Boras is one of the most entertaining acts in Baseball. The super agent is excellent at his job, and he knows it. I can't blame Boras for being cocky. Boras frequently turns owners and general managers into mindless fools. He controls their strings. He's the ultimate Baseball puppet master.

Edwin Jackson was an All-Star pitcher for the Tigers this year. He looked like one of the great acquisitions in baseball for most of the season — a starter who pitched deep into games and wouldn't become a free agent until 2011.

AFTER entering the month with a 6? game lead, the Yankees cruised to their first division title in the new Yankee Stadium. Making the celebration all the more sweet was that they swept the Red Sox at home to clinch it. Along the way, Derek Jeter made some more history, passing Lou Gehrig to become the Yankees' all-time hits leader. Not to be outdone, Alex Rodriguez had his own historic moment on the season's final day. After coming into the game with 28 homers and 93 RBIs for the season, Rodriguez hit a three-run home run and a grand slam in the sixth inning of the Yankees' 10-2 win over the Rays. His two home runs and seven RBIs that inning allowed him to finish the year with exactly 30 homers and 100 RBIs, making this the 12th consecutive season Rodriguez reached both milestones.

Los Angeles Angels general manager Tony Reagins has agreed to a long-term contract extension. The Angels have won the AL West in both of his years as GM. Reagins received the extension Friday. The 42-year-old Reagins succeeded Bill Stoneman in October 2007 after six seasons as the Angels' director of player development. Reagins has spent 18 years in the organization since joining the club as an intern. The Angels went to the AL championship series this season.

The Yankees' World Series-clinching win Wednesday night did more than add to their collection of championship trophies. It also cemented them as the team of the decade.
