Alex Rodriguez has been suspended for the 2014 season.
Kind of big news, eh?
Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I do my best to make sense of the whole mess and wonder why the CBA doesn’t apply to A-Rod.

So much negativity regarding yesterday’s ballot.
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY OCCASION!
Today on the Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I continue to talk about the Hall of Fame, blame the writers for the back log and wonder what exactly Dan LeBatard did that was so wrong.

It is the Hall of Fame election episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Greg Maddux, Frank Thomas and Tom Glavine are all in (seen here in some of their more obscure uniforms.)
Biggio was left off and some people left Benitez on.
The Morris debate is over but the need for a unanimous entry remains.

I will do a lot of things to get more listeners to The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast. I will even say some things that could be considered inflammatory.
But one thing I will NOT do is be deliberately dishonest simply to get attention.
That’s exactly what writer Ken Gurnick did in his desire to have his name everywhere after NOT voting for Greg Maddux on his Hall of Fame ballot.
His public reason is nonsensical and the only real reason is a childish “Look at Me” grab for attention.
It may have worked, but I won’t do it myself.

Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast is a salute to Jerry Coleman.
The man did so many things with his life as a baseball player, a soldier and an announcer and reached the pinnacle in all of them.
His was a life worth celebrating.

@sullybaseball what’s your over/under on the actual number of players elected to HOF? — Pete Sonski (@29sonski) January 4, 2014
With a super crowded ballot, your pal Sully thinks that 5 new members of the Hall of Fame will join Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony LaRussa in Cooperstown this summer.
That isn’t necessarily good news for Jack Morris.

What should they do? Why is signing Quinton Berry a good sign? And why they should be the lab for my bullpen experiment.

My dear friend Ritch Duncan (who you can follow on Twitter HERE) pointed out that every New York sports team kind of stinks now.
Whichever New York sports team rebuilds and puts together a fun, young, hungry elite team will capture the heart of the city for a new generation of sports fans.
That team will help end the deep freeze of New York sports.
That is the topic for today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I talk about the greatest moment of every baseball year: The moment a team wins it all and stands alone as the kings of baseball.
My fascination with the ending of the baseball year and how it is celebrated is something I can discuss for hours. Today I do so for a little more than 20 minutes.
And yes, I talk about that picture above of Charlie Hayes and Derek Jeter making the final out of the 1996 World Series.

With Masahiro Tanaka posting soon, there will be a feeding frenzy for the services of a pitcher who has yet to pitch in the majors.
The Yankees, Mariners and Cubs will be desperate for him.
The Rangers and Dodgers would probably be the best landing spot for him.

On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast the topic is Mike Trout.
He can command top dollar and the Angels should resign the best talent in baseball NOW.
But has making “a big splash” with the likes of Pujols and Hamilton put them in a position where they can’t afford him.
