The Royals are aiming for their third straight pennant in 2016. If they do, they will join the Earl Weaver Orioles, Charlie Finley A’s, Bronx Zoo Yankees, LaRussa A’s and the Torre Yankees as three time pennant winners since Divisional Play began. The Torre Yankees are the only ones since the Wild Card.
It is a “Let’s Join Some Big Company” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I heap more praise on the World Champion Royals and realize that trading for Jonny Gomes was brilliant because he had one single job: Give a great speech at the World Series celebration.
Also, I address a SoundCloud user, Bill Burns 4, who feels that I am not being respectful enough to the Royals.
Cue up the victory BBQ for the latest episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Some last World Series thoughts, including an amazing Cristian Colon fact.
Plus remembering the 1985 Royals, honoring Ned Yost and hoping Dusty Baker can come back and cap a bizarre but potentially Hall of Fame worthy career.

Did the Royals win this World Series or did the Mets lose it?
The answer is YES. Both are true.
The Royals won it all. They deserve it. They were the best team in the American League almost the entire season and they earned this title.
But MAN, this is going to be a bitter pill for Met fans to swallow.
And I face that always uncertain darkness: The off season has begun.
It is a “Crown the Champs” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Mets have turned this into a competitive World Series. Was Curtis Granderson’s homer the turning point?
Meanwhile Juan Uribe is back in the World Series where he belongs. And Raul Mondesi’s son did in zero regular season games what his father couldn’t do in 13 seasons: Play in the World Series.
BOO! It is the Halloween episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

October is almost over and even your pal Sully thinks it is too late for Baseball.
Meanwhile, the Mets are finally playing a home World Series game. And Met fans should salute Omar Minaya, whose finger prints are all over this team.
It is an episode with potential redemption on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Johnny Cueto threw a complete game and suddenly the Royals had a 2-0 series lead.
Now Kansas City has control of the World Series and Johnny Cueto now is going into free agency with a “Big Game” label.
Time to go the distance on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is Back to the Future Day… and October 21, 2015 may have a much more negative meaning than it had in Back to the Future 2.
Plus I am hoping the LCS don’t wrap up too soon.

The Blue Jays were not pretty but they may have saved the LCS from a disaster. The Cubs have a tough hill to climb.
Plus I can’t resist giving some thoughts to the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer.

Matt Harvey came through big time for the Mets, erasing a lot of ill will.
David Price LOOKED like an ace until the Royals chip chip chipped away.
And all the while I bet Joe Buck wishes he was in New York and not Chicago.

Driving past the old Johnny Carson studios, I started thinking about how the consumption of baseball has changed since 1985, 1986 and 1993, the last times the Royals, Mets and Blue Jays won the World Series.
Also I talked about the not exactly eventful Game 1 of the ALCS.

Why The Royals Can’t Sit Back After 2014: KC State Of The Union For 2015
Kansas City finally lived up to their expectations, and far exceeded beyond that, being just one swing away from calling themselves World Championships. With the success the team had, it also creates pay raises, roster turnover, and tough decisions from the brass on who to replace the outgoing cast. Dayton Moore must be aggressive with some of the changes, and realize this core group of players have about a 2 – 3 year window to win before everyone becomes too expensive. The time to strike is still now!
Why The Royals Can’t Sit Back After 2014 AL Pennant

First congrats to the San Fransisco Giants organization for winning a 3rd championship in 5 years!
Now for the losers who captured Americas heart, and why the Royals can’t sit back and do nothing all offseason.
Frequently after a team wins a championship (for almost any sport) and has that breakthrough season that team tends to try and retain its team from last year while making no additions.
Save for LeBrons Miami heat we haven’t had a team repeat in any sport since the 2004 Patriots and not in baseball since the 2000 Yankees.
Lets not forget that while the Royals did eventually get to game 7 of the World Series they barely got the wild card clinching the spot a couple games above the Mariners and winning that game late.
Here are recent examples of Championship teams who really made very few additions and flopped or performed less than expected the next year.
The 2013 Red Sox who basically retained the same team and suffered from injuries and substandard performance from players like Clay Buchholz and David Ortiz.
The biggest example might be the 2010 and 2012 San Francisco Giants who just retained their teams while making no additions and ended up making frantic moves such as trading for Carlos Beltran at the deadline to fill the holes.
They missed the 2011 and 2013 postseasons. When they made changes such as trading for Hunter Pence and signing Mike Morse they ended up winning it all again. Read the rest of this entry
