Rain has caused havoc on the schedule, causing potential chaos in the races… and I love it.

Meanwhile Clayton Kershaw has pitched Los Angeles into the playoffs and the other supposed Los Angeles team is currently in line for a Wild Card. They could win the Division.

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.

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.

Well, this was a strange weekend for Mets fans. It started so well with the Friday victory against the Yankees. But it ended with such a sour note and the drubbing by the Yankees with the specter of Matt Harvey’s innings limit looming over the club.

Don’t panic. Oh wait. Too late.

You GOTTA BELIEVE this is Episode 1,063 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.

It is a no home team bias episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
