You dreamed of reading this.

Let's go over everything that has happened since the season ended on September 28:

• Chowdz eliminated.
• Tony Reagins resigned.
• The Yankees lost in the playoffs.
• Bunt-whining Justin Verlander and the Tigers lost in the playoffs.
• The Rangers lost the World Series after twice being within one strike of their first world championship.
• In hiring Jerry Dipoto, the Angels avoided hiring Omar Minaya.
• Dipoto hired what appears to be a great team of administrators.
• Erick Aybar wins the AL SS Gold Glove
• Turns out a General Manager actually talks to the press? Who'da thunk it?!?!?!
• A suitable replacement for Jeff Mathis was acquired in the person of Chris Iannetta.
• Out of his depth sportswriter Lyle M. Spencer is reassigned from covering the Angels for the team website.
• Mathis was then traded for an actual AAA player with a smidgen of upside.
• LaTroy Hawkins signed for one year, $3 million.
• C.J. Wilson.
• Albert Pujols.
• 4,200 fans attend an outdoor press conference and boo an ESPN faux reporter bimbo who asks a stupid question.
• Turns out that Arte and his wife are Lars Von Trier fans!

And 70 days to spare before pitchers and catchers report to spring training...

Merry Christmas.
