It's been a bit of a pitchers' season:

- Two perfect games (Dallas Braden, Roy Halladay)
- Armando Galarraga's near-perfect game
- Three no-hitters (Ubaldo Jimenez, Edwin Jackson, Matt Garza)
- Roy Halladay's postseason no-hitter
- The lowest league batting average (.257) since 1999

So I suppose it's only reasonable to see, arguably the best pitching teams in the MLB, win the World Series.

And after playing only 72 games this regular season, who would've guessed that Edgar Reneria would come good in the Series?
