10 years ago, Jason Giambi gave one of the strangest press conferences in baseball history. Even though I am a Red Sox fan, I found the surreal presser to be oddly endearing and sympathetic and made me see Giambi for what he was: A big dumb lovable lug.

Meanwhile today, A-Rod is apologizing to the Yankees, who SHOULD be welcoming him with open arms.

Over in Boston, their outfield is crowded as hell. Don’t worry. Time will sort it out.

East Coast Bias? Maybe for today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

If the 1969 Cubs won the World Series, they would have been the most beloved champ of all time.

Which other teams would have been the most embraced by their fans? The 1971 Giants? The 1978 Red Sox?

I think of that and give much respect to my former boss, Bonnie Hunt, and her wonderful mom Alice on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Here is the video of Bonnie and Alice singing with Ernie Banks.

The Yankees want to keep some money from A-Rod?

That doesn’t seem fair when you consider all the money he has made the Yankees!

The Yankees should act more like the Giants and just embrace their PED filled MVP.

It is a big box office episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

How does that connect with the Batman enemy, Man-Bat?

What We are Up To This Campaign + Going Forward

The MLB Reports will be updating lots of posts for the 2015 schedule as it sits right now for the next 2 weeks.  We will have all 26 weeks listed in 7 day increments from during the year.  I will try to update those as much as possible.

I will do an all 2430 game schedule on 1 page post once.  I will not update it that much though, this will be for mostly pre-season planning for most ballpark goers,

I will also compile a month to month schedule around the last week of each month.  The MLB or ESPN still need to follow in the nhl.com’s footsteps and make these possible.  I do like the ESPN 7 day module for any time frame.  I still think they should have a 179 days module and a month module.

We will also be featuring our Interleague Master Schedule with updated start times.  We already have a master grid of all 30 clubs and who they play in league versus league combat this season.  Keep in mind of the special 4 day window in which Interleague has 15 – 2 home and 2 away games against one other club from Monday June 15th to Thursday June 18th, 2015.  In essence a back to back – home and home series.

Why bother making picks so early in the year?

The closers could be different! Eventual post season heroes could be starting the season with another team.

But as of right now, the Chicago White Sox look like a very dangerous team.

It is a worthless prediction episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast

Am I a Traditionalist? I was called that not too long ago.

But how I view what to do with baseball is far from clinging to tradition.
