The A’s and the Cubs clearly didn’t treat the 4th of July like a holiday. They pulled off a stunning blockbuster that sent Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland for some of their top young players and Dan Straily, a fan favorite of one of my dear friends.

Does this sound like a day to put on an evergreen podcast?

Hell no! Let’s record an emergency episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.!!!

Tim Lincecum is one of the most loved sports figures in San Francisco history. And the things he is putting on his resume are usually reserved for Hall of Famers. What will Lincecum’s legacy be?

He very well may have a similar legend as another pitcher who is beloved in Southern California.

Those kind of thoughts fill today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

American soccer fans are hoping the US Team advances to the next round of the World Cup.

But would the rest of the world look at an American World Cup the way that Indians or Cubs fans would see another Marlins World Series?

And would you trade a chance to see your team win the World Series for a chance to see America win the World Cup?

A challenging question on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I have been quick to criticize the Yankee organization and their farm system. But I need to give credit when it is due. The Yankees have filled a lot of holes internally and found themselves in the middle of the AL East race.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are a disgrace of an organization. They are “fake tough” and showed yesterday that winning is not priority number one.

In the wake of the beanball that led to a Brewers grand slam, Kirk Gibson and Kevin Towers need to go. The organization is rudderless and need to be make major changes now.

That is the topic for today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is a novel concept… dealing one manager for another. And maybe there are a few possibilities, including one between the two teams that claim to play in Los Angeles.

With the Red Sox outfield playing at a historically bad level, a change needs to be made.

Should they consider Matt Kemp, who just a few years ago was considered to be one of if not the best player in baseball?
