Sometimes a post season loss can hang over
a franchise like a bad cloud. It can loom
over players who weren’t even involved in the collapse and haunt them like a specter. The Pirates have not recovered from Francisco Cabrera ’s single ...
2009 has begun... in the Chinese calendar it is the year of the Ox. (You know I'll still be writing "Year of the Rat" on my checks weeks from now!) And this year the ever growing staff at Sully Baseball will be working to expand the blog and how we have our silly fun in cyberspace. Oh there ...

Man, I'm not even a 1/3 of the
way through these teams! These take a lot of
energy to write, but there is no rest for the weary... Let's move on! The Houston Astros are a strange team. They began their history as the Colt .45's, which glorified ...
OK, there is some pressure on your pal Sully for the latest edition of Home Grown vs. Acquired. First of all, based on the number of comments posted recently, it's clear there are more of you reading these. Secondly, there is a lot of great history and great eras (or near great eras) of ...

I just finished typing my last post about Randy Johnson when I started talking to my dad about Randy Johnson. My dad as my readers will know, is a huge San Francisco Giants fan and follows them every night, even in a lousy year like 2008. And as my dad as a way of cutting to the heart of the ...

Last November I urged Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz to all retire because... well I think they are cooked and I also thought it would be great to see them all voted into the Hall of Fame at the same time. Maddux, clearly one of my most faithful ...

Hey Randy Johnson . It's your pal Sully. It must be frustrating for you knowing that you are only 5 wins away from the magical number of 300. You are probably thinking "Christsake, I may not be in my prime anymore but I can squeeze out 5 wins somewhere! ANYWHERE!" And I guess to prove the ...

I wish everyone a Happy December 25… I tend to say “Merry Christmas” but some people find that offensive. I could say “Happy Holidays” but then a whole other group will find THAT offensive. I have little patience for anyone who would take offense to EITHER greeting, but at Sully Baseball we ...

OK, now that you found my site by
Googling those words in the subject heading, let me
tell you to calm down. Read this posting about the Yankees buying championships. Read this posting about Salary Caps. Read this posting about Parity in Baseball. ...
Yes yes yes... I know. The sky is falling. The Yankees signed three big free agents. Oh dear... oh God. Let's all act like we're in Tokyo and the "Godzilla siren" is blasting. (The radioactive dinosaur, not Hideki Matsui.) When I hear that the Yankees signed the biggest player and how ...

Seriously... this is supposed to be devastating, right?
But for some reason I'm not devastated. Maybe I'm
thinking if the Red Sox spend a lot of money, I'd rather it be on pitching. Maybe I'm thinking a hitter is easier to pick up than an arm. Maybe ...
OK folks time to keep the caravan going of All Time Home Grown vs. Acquired Rosters. I said I was going to do all 30 teams and I meant it. Let’s take a close look at the Colorado Rockies. After the frenzy of Mets responses, you Rockies fan have a tough act to follow! I thought when I started ...

My readers, your friend Sully is going to announce officially that I am applying for reinstatement to be a New England Patriots Fan. Now some of you might be confused. "Sully" you say "aren't you already a Patriots fan?" Well technically no. I've been a New York Giants fan in Football since I ...

It's funny... my Mets Home Grown vs. Acquired Post had people not agreeing with my positive assessment of Superstar Mike Piazza, franchise fixture Bud Harrelson, fan favorite Lee Mazzilli, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, World Series MVP Ray Knight and NLCS MVP Mike Hampton. But NOBODY seemed to ...

Well I must say the response to my Home Grown versus Acquired All Time Mets Team entry has been terrific. Some people complimented the list and the writing. Others questioned how severe my mental retardation was. I love both responses (and man they are more passionate than the Rangers fans ...

I’ve got 26 more teams to breakdown their
homegrown vs. acquired all time roster and only 3
½ months to do it. No time to rest. We did the Yankees… let’s go across town and check out the Mets. Ahhh the Mets. It takes a certain kind of ...
They signed him to a five year deal? Really? FIVE YEARS? A guy who will be 32 years old and spent his twenties battling injuries left and right is someone the Yankees think will be still worth it at age 37? What happened to the Yankees getting younger, cheaper and hungrier? The only hunger on ...

So the Yankees, bidding against themselves and a non existent West Coast offer, and CC who wanted no part of New York said "OK, I'll take $160 million... but if I want I can change my mind in 3 years." Christ for $160 million I can find happiness living in a mouth of an active volcano. But ...

Yeah I know there is a lot to talk about in the world of baseball. Yeah I know the Yankees just signed CC Sabathia... and lots of people are screaming how Steinbrenner is ruining baseball and others are saying there needs to be a salary cap. OK, both statements are wrong. We've been over this ...

Let me direct my dear readers to something wonderful I stumbled upon on the internet. A guy who is as obsessive and thorough as I am. I thought my Best Home Grown versus Acquired team was intense. The creator of the 83 Fleer Project (whose name I can not find) is trying to get every single ...
