Congrats to the Giants on their World Series victory. Let's look back at the year on the diamond for all 30 teams, in regular season win total order, through traditional Japanese verse:

ANGELS

Trout league's best player?

Shoemaker pleasant surprise

Yet steamrolled by Royals

ORIOLES

Stoic Showalter

Lost Manny, Matt, Chris but still

Ran away with East

NATIONALS

Fateful decision

In playoffs shouldn't dampen

League's best rotation

DODGERS

The Bison is back

But Clayton couldn't kill Cards

Donnie gets last chance?

CARDINALS

Death of Taveras

Casts pall on terrific year

Still class of Central

TIGERS

Flammable bullpen

Undermined starting pitching

Now replace V-Mart

ROYALS

Who needs walks, homers?

An "abundance" of bunting

Outfield defense ... whoa!

ATHLETICS

Cespedes got dealt

Team's offense dried up with it

Beane's "stuff" didn’t work

GIANTS

Three titles -- five years

Bumgarner otherworldly

Can they keep Panda?

PIRATES

Burning Cole last game

Trying for division tie

Might have cost Play-In

MARINERS

Cano did his thing

Felix, Hisashi duo

Not quite good enough

INDIANS

Kluber conquered all

But rest of staff slogged through year

Michael Brantley ... star!

YANKEES

Jeter’s farewell tour

Now A-Rod longest-tenured

Not your dad's Yankees

BLUE JAYS

All five starters had

Double-digit wins, but four

Had ten-plus losses

BREWERS

Led till late August

Won nine all of September

Lucroy's framing tops

BRAVES

Shutout 16 times

NL's next to last runs scored

Let's just watch Kimbrel

METS

DeGrom great story

Wheeler looked good, stayed healthy

Harvey's back, Big 3!

PADRES

Last in all slash stats

No-hit by Timmy ... again

Front office rebuilt

MARLINS

Stayed competitive

Despite losing Fernandez

Can they sign Stanton?

RAYS

Friedman, Maddon gone

Price dealt for cheaper prospects

Has their window closed?

REDS

Votto hardly seen

But Mesoraco burst out

Cueto stayed healthy

WHITE SOX

Abreu? Real deal

Chris Sale's elbow still attached?

Thank you, Konerko!

CUBS

Top prospects galore

Renteria won't see them

Maddon works magic?

PHILLIES

Vets went untraded

Amaro kept job somehow

Get used to last place

RED SOX

Bradley, Bogaerts ... meh

Buckholz saw ERA triple

Lester will be missed

ASTROS

Altuve a star

If only they could have signed

1st rounder Aiken

TWINS

Hughes K'd 1-8-6

Is that allowed on their staff?

Mauer's bat slumping

RANGERS

Pro-Obamacare

Given multitude of hurts

Washington bowed out

ROCKIES

League-worst ERA

Tulo missed 70 games

Fast start, then crash, burn

DIAMONDBACKS

Gibson, Towers done

Can Hale, Stewart make team rise

Like a phoenix? Eh!
