Good bye 2012
Fare thee well, 2012.
It was a good year to be a fan in the Bay Area, Detroit and the Beltway.
It wasn't a good year to be Bobby Valentine.
It was an interesting Sully Baseball year.
Lots of blog posts, Bleacher Report articles and the Daily Podcast.
Look out for all new posts, articles, podcasts and videos in 2013.
Spread the word and thanks for your readership.
See you in a few hours!

In the last podcast of 2012, I urge my listeners to not make a New Year's resolution and I use the Washington Nationals as an example why not.

Do you remember Double-Play Baseball, a Lakeside Sports Dice Game?
Probably not. But I do, and it is actually a better game than I remembered.
Sounds like a podcast subject to me!

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 27, 2012
I continued going through my closet and I dug out one of my favorite books as a kid.
The Ballpark by William Jaspersohn is a fascinating behind the scenes look at what happens at a ball game. Specifically, the book chronicles a day game at Fenway Park in 1978.
It was pretty cool then and an interesting time capsule now, and the topic of today's podcast.

Why are the Red Sox trading away young players for a closer in his 30s?
Because they won't listen to me! That's why.
But you can listen to the latest edition of the Sully Baseball Daily podcast!

On today's podcast, I ask the question. With all the changes and moves the Angels made this off season, are they better?
It is not as clear cut as you think.

On today's podcast, I enjoy the fact that in baseball we can have venom filled arguments about things that do not have the consequences of this week's horrible events.
And I get right back into the venom by laughing at the Yankees' interest in Vernon Wells and predict they will win no more than 85 games in 2013.

Angels Should Send Vernon Wells to New York at Once - A Bleacher Report Article
Vernon Wells is a player in his mid 30s whose skills are gone and his body is breaking down. Seems like a good fit for the Yankees to me!

In today's podcast, I take a look at what the Diamondbacks got out of the three team deal. I know the price was high, but keeping the Justin Upton in his prime years might be worth a pitching prospect.
