I recorded a podcast ahead of time, wanting the Padres to start rebuilding in earnest. And then I looked up and saw they did and made my podcast irrelevant.

So I recorded another one.

Are the Colorado Rockies a smart organization who will use Carlos Gonzalez as a valuable chip? Or will they get fleeced because they are an organization in disarray?

The answer is NONE. The Pirates need to be aggressive this off season and emulate not only the current World Champs but also an unusual strategy by Bill Veeck in the 1970s.

We are family in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

With the free agent market taking shape, no two hitters are more interesting in terms of their talents nor their age as former teammates Jason Heyward and Justin Upton.

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.

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.

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.

The Blue Jays were not pretty but they may have saved the LCS from a disaster. The Cubs have a tough hill to climb.

Matt Harvey came through big time for the Mets, erasing a lot of ill will.
