Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 17, 2015

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.

Heeeeeere’s Sully on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!

I missed the craziness and the controversy that happened at Dodger Stadium with Chase Utley.

Why?

Because I was at my 25th high school reunion.

Afterwards, in the parking lot of my old high school, I tried to piece together what happened at Dodger Stadium through the haze of the social media outrage.

And yes, I wore a Red Sox hat in my senior picture.

Sign my year book for this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Rangers are a game away from the ALCS? They won a wild 14 inning marathon in Toronto.

Moments after the game ended, I decided to call friend of the Podcast and  Rangers super fan and Dallas sports radio personality Jamie Kelly for her thoughts.

It is a “throw your predictions into the dumpster” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Pirates won 98 games. Their reward? Jake Arrieta and a one and done Wild Card loss.

If they wanted to avoid that, they could have won 3 more games over the course of the season.

Essentially they lost this game in early April.

Let’s bring on the Division Series on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The post season has begun! And with the Yankees out of it, there really is no team I truly dislike in the playoffs.

The Astros could be very dangerous if they win one of two in Kansas City.

I make my predictions and I talk about why I am rooting for the Pirates over the Cubs.

All that and more on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

WOB is not about being fair. It is about how the season unfolds day to day.

Unfairness is part of baseball. Just ask the Cubs and the Pirates, one of whom will be a forgotten Wild Card Team.

Meanwhile I celebrate my wedding anniversary on  Episode 1,077 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Dodgers and Mets are about to square off in the post season. Both are franchises coming off of recent front office disgraces and on the field disappointments.

And BOTH teams have fan bases who simply do NOT believe their team has a shot.

Well, the Nationals are at least going to make the ending of their season interesting!

Papelbon chokes Harper. Papelbon goes out and pitches and gets bombed. And a clubhouse has gone from bad to worse.

Manager Matt Williams has to go… like right now! Before you finish reading this sentence.

I recorded Episode 1,071 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast in the bathtub. No really.

The recent poor play by Houston and Minnesota could threaten any hope of a Cinderella story this year.

Plus the Pirates could make next week’s series with the Cardinals very interesting.

Yogi Berra died last night. And unlike most celebrity deaths, the loss of this man affected me.

You will read a lot of funny accounts of his “Yogi-isms” over the next few days. But never forget, there is wisdom in every single Yogi-Ism.

But also remember his legacy in New York baseball. From the 1947 World Series to the 1986 NLCS, Yogi Berra was in uniform for every single great post season moment except 2.

From the Al Giofriddo catch to the Don Larsen perfect Game to the Mazeroski homer to the Miracle Mets winning the World Series to the Chambliss homer to Reggie’s 3 shots in 1977 to Bucky Dent to the 16 inning Mets/Astros marathon, Yogi was there.
It ain’t over until it is over on Episode 1,065 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Lots of stuff is happening as baseball hits the home stretch. An all Texas series has playoff implications, the Yankees and Rays played a thriller and the Cespedes/Harper debate is just silly.

Meanwhile one of my listeners thinks I talk too much about the Red Sox and Giants. They may have a point. Either way, I found a way to remedy that.
