Hard to believe the Baseball season ends tomorrow
This baseball season has been one wild year, especially in the NL. The one thing I will most remember about this year though is the year of the bullpen implosions (Damn you Baltimore! 
)
The Yankees appeared to be dead in the water with all there injuries, and there bullpen was on pace to pitch like 700 innings which is just unheard of really. Then the next thing you know they caught lighting in a bottle, and ended up winning the wild card.
The Brewers appeared to have the NL central all locked up by the all-star break, and ended up blowing it. It's really ashame that Ben Sheets couldn't stay healthy the whole season, because that might have made the difference right there. Then you ended up having Chris Capuano who went winless for something like 18 straight games, and that sure didn't help matters down the stretch at all.
The Colorado Rockies have to be the surprise of the season IMO. That teams bullpen just was god awful until mid-August, and somehow manage to pull it together for a very nice stretch run rally. They have some very good young talent that the developed through there minor league system, and it's really starting to show it in MLB.
The Jury is still out on the Mets as of right now though, because they still have a chance to win the division even despite the worst collapse I've ever seen in baseball.
I'm sure I missed a lot of other things that has happen this year, but these are the ones that came to mind first when writing this post.
What was the one thing that stood out to you as being the most memorable this year?
