Going into the final weekend of the regular Major League Baseball season, it is worth stopping to realize that this may be the greatest finish to a season since the advent of divisional play in 1969. Four teams in the American League are playing each other in a weird version of musical chairs. One thing is for sure: one team will not have a postseason chair when the music stops on Sunday night.

With that in mind, I would like to hand out my postseason awards. This is slightly more difficult than normal, because some of these races may actually be decided by dramatic events this weekend.

It is important to note that the Milwaukee Brewers are eligible for team awards since the first time there was a President Bush. The Brewers are poised to end one of the ugliest losing droughts in any sport. They have played well down the stretch to overcome injuries, a losing mentality and the dreaded curse of the Brewerbino. Therefore, not only are some Brewers eligible for the league awards, the team will have their own winner in each category.

MVP

American League: This is probably the closest race of them all and like previously stated it may come down to who hits the division winning home run on Sunday. Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz are neck and neck as far as stats go. Both are leading their teams down the stretch and both also have their flaws.

A-Rod doesn't necessarily need to carry his team -- he is surrounded by Sheffield, Matsui, Jeter and a resurgent Jason Giambi. Ortiz is a DH. If some believe a pitcher should be allowed to win the MVP, then how about a guy that doesn't play defense?

Winner: David Ortiz -- despite my feeling about A-Rod dominating both sides of the game, nobody has been more clutch over the past months than Ortiz.

National League: This is another tight race. Albert Pujols and Andruw Jones are also in a dead heat coming down the stretch. Jones has hit 50 plus home runs and virtually put the Braves on his back en route to their 14th straight division crown.

But Pujols is the most dominant hitter in the game. He would already have multiple MVPs if it weren't for a guy named Bonds. He also shouldn't be punished for his team running away with the division. Also many believe that Pujols has the protection that Jones lacked, but with the injuries to Scott Rolen and Reggie Sanders (and Jim Edmonds having a very un-Edmonds like year) -- Pujols carried the cards.

While Jones wins points for being a gold glove center fielder, Pujols has made himself into a solid defensive first baseman.

Winner: Albert Pujols

Milwaukee Brewers: For the first time in years this is actually a discussion. In the past there has been either only one player deserved of the award or someone would have to win it by default of futility. This year there are many worthy candidates but Carlos Lee stands out. He hit .286 with 37 HRs and 113 RBIs. He has played a decent left field and most important, day in and day out, he solidifies the middle of the Brewers' order making the players around him better.

Winner: Carlos Lee

Cy Young

American League: This race has fallen apart. They should actually give both Cy Youngs to the National League so Chris Carpenter and Dontrelle Willis get their due. In the real world someone in the AL gets the trophy. Mark Buehrle and Jon Garland got off to fast starts. Bartolo Colon has finished well reaching the 20 win plateau, but I am going to go with Mariano Rivera. He is only third in the AL with 43 saves, but opponents are hitting .178 off of him and he kept the Yankees afloat.

Winner: Mariano Rivera

National League: This has been Chris Carpenter's award from mid-May and he has done nothing to relinquish it. Dontrelle Willis has made a nice run, but it wasn't enough to carry his team into the playoffs. Carpenter is 21-5 with a 2.83 ERA -- numbers that are easily worthy of the Cy Young.

Winner: Chris Carpenter

Milwaukee Brewers: Over the past few years this has been an award that would have been dominated by Ben Sheets regardless of his numbers. This year there are two candidates that are more than worthy. Closer Derrick Turnbow has come out of nowhere to post 36 saves along with seven wins while compiling a 1.79 ERA. He will have had his hand in over half of the Brewers wins.

Chris Capuano also has had a breakout year by posting 18-11 record and becoming the first pitcher to win 17 games since Jamie Navarro in 1992. Capuano has been blessed with outstanding run support, but his abilities handling the bat and fielding have kept him in games that other pitchers would gain no-decisions.

Winner: Derrick Turnbow -- a rock star has been born.
