Why?
Because the wonderful Italian MLB Podcast Nel Nome del Gioco, gave me a nice notice and I am saying Grazie to the hosts Marco Barbanera and Pietro Striano.

As for San Francisco Giants fans… you are forbidden to watch today’s game. The team has been too cruel to you.

This photo is a picture of my dad, reacting to the Giants’ miserable offense and defense during the gut wrenching 16 inning loss to the Mets last night.

How did the defending World Champs get to the point where they are 8 games under .500 approaching mid July? A little bit of arrogance was a factor.

I discuss that on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

On Today’s episode of  The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I took a journey… from Cisco and San Jose (where the A’s SHOULD be playing) through Fremont (one of the potential homes of the A’s) right to the parking lot of the O.co Coliseum.

Along the way I talk about why it would have been better if the A’s had stayed in Philadelphia and the Phillies had moved and all the potential landing spots of this exciting if troubled franchise.

John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that “the Second Day of July 1776 will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. . . . It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires, and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

He was close.

But today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast we celebrate July 2nd by remembering Warren Spahn’s duel with Juan Marichal, say happy birthday to Jose Canseco and remember Peanuts Lowrey, a man with an unusual life story.
