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!


 

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 31, 2012

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.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 23, 2012

I dug up my Digital Diamond toy and discussed Monster Baseball in the latest podcast.
Trust me, it makes sense.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 22, 2012

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!

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 21, 2012

The world is not ending, and that's a good thing.

That means there is time to listen to the Sully Baseball Daily podcast and hear some of my Hall of Fame thoughts.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 20, 2012

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.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 19, 2012

Today I compare the idea of looking at the Home Run Leaders for all time with looking at the biggest box office movie hits.

It makes sense to me.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 18, 2012

Why am I going to root for the Seahawks in the NFL playoffs?
Because of the Mariners, of course!

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 16, 2012

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.


Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 16, 2012











 

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 my latest for Bleacher Report, I urge the Angels to do the trade with the Yankees for Wells right away. You can read the entire article HERE.


 

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 15, 2012

On today's podcast, I discuss the strange and remarkable career of Edwin Jackson and wonder if the Mets are about to get hosed in a trade for R. A. Dickey.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 15, 2012

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 14, 2012

I recorded today's podcast before I knew of the terrible events from today.

Angels Are Making a Mistake with Josh Hamilton - A Bleacher Report Article

The big news today was that Josh Hamilton left the Texas Rangers to sign with the rival Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

And the news of the future will be how the contracts of Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols will be handcuffing the Angels for years.

 In my latest for Bleacher Report, I break down why this deal will be a dud for the Angels.

 You can read the entire article HERE.



 

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 13, 2012

On today's podcast, I urge the Royals to sign Kyle Lohse. If they are going to go for veteran pitching, why do it half assed?



Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 13, 2012

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 12, 2012

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.


Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 12, 2012

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast - December 11, 2012

Lisa Swan, co creator of Subway Squawkers, was the guest on today's Podcast.

She is a die hard Yankee fan who is a little more than angry that the Yankees acquired Kevin Youkilis.
Listen why.

Baseball should be focusing on the West Coast and California.
