It is the last day of the season. I found time to do a Sunday Request.

 

I may not be a Chapman fan but that doesn’t mean I HATE the Cubs. It all has to do with how I PERSONALLY want games to unfold.

Also I give end of the year thoughts on this episode of the Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Ty Blach, Joey Votto, Collin McHugh Joey Wendle, Clayton Kershaw, Ryan Howard and Robinson Cano all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball yesterday and Julio Teheran, Aaron Sanchez, Matt Wieters, Denard Span, Brian McCann, Justin Verlander, Charlie Blackmon and Paul Clemens all updated their totals today.

Thank You Vin For That

vin-scullyBy: Kelly

When Vin Scully first announced that 2016 would be his last year I knew I would be sad but the emotions I have felt over the past few days is much more than I thought I would feel. I’ve thought about writing this post the past couple of weeks but every time I start I get overwhelmed with emotions. Vin is the voice of my childhood, he is the soundtrack of my childhood.

Although some fans may not realize it, not that long ago, the team was fortunate enough to have two Bogaerts in their organization, with Xander’s (fraternal) twin brother Jair making up the other half of the tandem.
