Sitting on a bench by the Clearwater River in Lewiston, Idaho, I pondered the current state of the Red Sox and how they need to make sure their recent first round picks were worth it.

The river flows steadily by in Episode 976 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Comedian and friend of the podcast Nick Stevens is the guest today.

We talked about the state of the Red Sox, our mutual confusion of why they signed Pablo Sandoval and reminded ourselves about the term “Deli Flowers.”

It is two old Red Sox fan friends yapping on episode 914 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast..

Dallas Keuchel, Mark Teixeria, Aaron Harang, Anthony Rizzo, Billy Hamilton, Andrew Cashner and Scott Kazmir  all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball?

It looks like the Red Sox are signing Pablo Sandoval to a big huge long term deal. And your pal Sully, a life long Red Sox fan, is NOT happy.

It is a “You heard it here first” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

A Regional World Series In 2014? NYY/BOS/ATL Maybe All Out Of The Playoffs For 1st Time Since 1989

battle of the bay

Chuck Booth (Owner/Lead  Analyst), with a heavy assist for the idea to Josh Robbins: 

Follow The MLB Reports On Twitter 

The Nationals and Orioles both locked down their respective league’s East Division’s last night.  Could it be a possible Beltway World  Series?

Or how about a Freeway Series (I-5) between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels Of Orange County near Disneyland and Fullerton (or whatever Arte Moreno’s team us called now).

a a angels and dodgers 2

If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, maybe iconic close series of 1985 and 1989 respectively, meaning the I-70 series (KC vs STL) or the Bay Bridge (Earthquake Series), between the A’s and Giants.

Both of those winning clubs have not won the Fall Classic since those years.

Even Detroit and Pittsburgh are only 284 Miles apart, should they have a chance meeting.

Who is not here for the 1st time in 20 years – will probably be the Braves (whose playoff chances are on fumes), and the Yankees/Red Sox all failed to have at least one representative of those 3 in the Post Season since 1989, when the Cubs, Dodgers, A’s and Blue Jays made the playoffs.

2009 was the last time teams within close proximity to each other squared off in the World Series – when the Yanks took out the defending champion Phillies in 6 games. 

The Yankees/Mets 2000 “Subway Series” was the last time two teams in the same city played in the Fall Classic, something the 2 Los Angeles squad’s could do.

I would hate for last night’s loss to be Koji Uehara‘s last game with the Red Sox… but it might be.

Closer’s flame out and Koji looks like no exception. Remember, he was never meant to be a long term solution.

The blackout rules continue to shutout fans from enjoying baseball, never a smart business model.

Meanwhile the Giants should consider a strange suggestion I have about Barry Bonds.

That and my plea to ESPN to stop showing Red Sox and Yankees games in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I woke up this morning by a text from my Red Sox loving friend Kenny Mack that Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes were dealt to the A’s for Yoenis Cespedes.

Good morning.

Kenny and I discussed the move and the legacies of both teams. We sometimes got off topic.

It is time for The Sunday Request on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

And how will Red Sox fans react to Lester as a member of the Yankees NEXT year?

It is Sunday and man do I have a challenging Sunday Request!

Should the Giants do it?

Should the Red Sox pursue it?

It is a tougher decision than you would think when you consider how quickly closers flame out!

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?

Is he worth taking an expensive risk?

There is legit bad blood between the Red Sox and Rays. For Boston fans of a certain age, I bet it is more emotional than seeing the Yankees.

And that is good for baseball.

These are not the best days for the Red Sox. Seven game losing streaks aren’t exactly becoming for a World Series defense.

They should not panic and neither should Red Sox fans. There is help in the farm system and the long term effect of fixing the team from within will be worth it.

Lots of talking fans off of the ledge on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Jordan Lyles dominated the White Sox completely and in all ways. He pitched into the 7th inning, letting up 1 run and 5 hits over 6 2/3 innings. He also went 3-3 with a double and 2 runs batted in as the Rockies clobbered Chicago, 8-1.

Troy Tulowitzki contributed to the Colorado 8-1 blow out of the White Sox with a 3-3 performance. He doubled, homered and walked, missing the cycle by a triple.

Jackie Bradley Jr. had the second three hit game of his career. He drove in Boston’s first two runs and his bunt single led to a run scoring error. He would later score another run as he sparked the Red Sox 5-1 victory over the Rangers.

Jason Vargas pitched into the 9th inning, keeping the Rays off of the scoreboard until the final frame. He would finish with 8 plus innings, 4 hits and 1 walk, letting up only a solo homer as the Royals topped Tampa 4-2.
