Remembering the moments where both teams had a chance to clinch at the same time. Plus my brother witnesses another grand slam

Ep. 928 - Series that could have been clinched by either team on the same pitch - 5-9-2015

I visited the Ebbets Field Apartments in Flatbush Brooklyn. This was once the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Ep. 1512 - Visiting Ebbetts Field In Brooklyn - 12 - 13 - 2016

There are no Colorado Rockies in the Hall of Fame. Larry Walker and Todd Helton might change that.

Ep. 1540 - There Will Be Rockies In Cooperstown - 1 - 10 - 2017

The city of San Diego is now a one team city. The Padres have the city to themselves. Fans need to support them like never before.

Ep. 1541 - San Diego now belongs to only the Padres - 1-11-2017

It is the 10 year anniversary of the Red Sox second championship this century. The legacy of the team is not a cute and cuddly one.

Ep. 1556 - The Strange Legacy of the 2007 Red Sox - 1-26-2017

Tom Brunansky made a great catch to clinch the 1990 AL East Division for the Red Sox. I remembered looking for a place in New York to watch the game. And comedian Mike Donovan recorded the catch on video. Today those two actions would be taken for granted. In 1990, they took determination to do.

Ep. 1563 - The Brunansky Catch And Modern Baseball Technology - 2 - 2-2007

SUNDAY REQUEST - @thestartingbloc wondered if I spent too much time focusing on the negative with Aroldis Chapman in the World Series as opposed to accentuating the many positive stories. Sometimes shedding light on the negative is important.

Ep. 1566 - SUNDAY REQUEST - Be On The Right Side Of History - 2 - 4-2017

Mike Ilitch passed away, ending a proud era in Tigers history and opening up a new day filled with questions and possibly not as much spending.

Ep. 1572 - RIP Mike Ilitch - 2 - 11 - 2017

Gene Michael has passed away without getting his due credit. Let's fix that. The Indians and Diamondbacks can't lose and LA can't win.

Honoring Stick Michael, Hot in Cleveland and Arizona and the LA Narrative - September 8, 2017

Veterans might be having a hard time signing long term deals. But the contracts handed out to Jose Altuve and Eugenio Suàrez show baseball's trend of paying players for their prime is not going away. Plus some thoughts on an improving Phillies team.

Sign Them While They Are Young - March 17, 2018

Are the Diamondbacks a dominant team powering their way into the post season? Or are they a maddeningly inconsistent team who find new ways to lose critical games?

They have been both this year and that could cost them a chance at a winnable pennant.

The Roller Coaster Diamondbacks Season - September 10, 2018

The Yankees should be very worried if their bats remain this dead into October. Meanwhile, say what you want about the Rays new "Opener System." But it works and since late May, they are one of the best teams in baseball.

Yankee Bats Are Not Hot While Tampa Bay's Pitching System Works - September 19, 2018

The Dodgers were left for dead less than a month ago. But after taking 5 of 6 from the Rockies, they have a clear path to get back to the NLCS. 

Meanwhile, Colorado might regret letting a once in a generation opportunity slip away.

LA Sweeps In While The Rockies Blow It - September 20, 2018

Do you want an exciting final week of the season? Then you better start rooting for the Rockies to make things interesting.

That and Bryce Harper's inevitable free agent departure from the Nationals might have him wind up in Philadelphia.

Rockies are the Key To Anarchy plus Bryce Harper to the Phillies - September 24, 2018

One thing is certain about the National League post season chase: Trying to predict it is an act of futility. I compared it to David Lynch's surreal movie Mulholland Drive. Trust me, the comparison makes sense.

The NL Postseason Chase and Mulholland Drive - September 27, 2018

The potential for full chaos at the end of the season was there in the National League. I checked in bit by bit throughout the day as the NL is STILL undecided after 162 games!

Going through the last day of the season... or possibly the last day - September 30, 2018

FINALLY we know what the National League Post Season picture looks like. And man oh man will either the Rockies or the Cubs regret not winning just one more game in the regular season.

I give the final Who Owns Baseball Tally and make my post season predictions.

All Tickets Punched and Good Bye Regular Season - October 1, 2018

As Vin Scully would say, not a bad opening act for the post season. Tony Wolters becomes the hero and demonstrates why baseball is so wonderful in creating unlikely immortals.

Meanwhile Cub fans will take comfort that hurtful losses like this no longer have the baggage of the Cursed Days of the team.

Tony Wolters, Requiem For The Cubs and A Great Opening act - October 3, 2018

The World Series is over and now we go off to face life without the respite of baseball for a while.

I had to take a few weeks off as life caught up with me and I will continue to go on hiatus. But I wanted to say hello, especially after my Red Sox won it all.

A Quick Hello After The Good Bye To Baseball - October 29, 2018

Happy New Year. I recorded my first podcast of 2019 looking over the remains of Candlestick Park and contemplating timelessness.

New Years Day at Candlestick - January 1, 2019

Sneak Preview - BULL DURHAM MINUTE - Episode 4

I am using the old Sully Baseball feed to vent some thoughts. I am still hosting the podcast at Locked on MLB. But I felt like some of my more negative thoughts on starting the game should exist in a sponsor free zone.

I will come back from time to time on this feed to vent honestly and express how I feel that baseball opening in a pandemic is a new level of irresponsibility.

The Honesty Files Part 1 - They Shoud Not Be Playing

Sure it is fun to have ballgames on. But the outbreak on the Marlins squad show that it is not smart.

The Honesty Files Part 2- This is Fun but Dumb

I am back to vent about the insanity about baseball in the age of COVID. The Marlins can't play for a few days and players are taking votes about where to travel.
This is insane!!!

The Honesty Files Part 3: Of Jocks and Billionaires

Rob Manfred says he will not quit regarding the 2020 season. You know what? Maybe he should. Quitting is not always a bad thing!

The Honesty Files Part 4: It Is OK To Quit

Just a quick New Year's Message from your pal Sully at the corner of Orange Grove and Colorado in Pasadena.
