Another decade of baseball has ended, and despite cries that the Yankees buy the World Series every year and the Red Sox are no better, there has been a lot of distributed wealth in terms of post season success this decade.
8 different National League teams went to the World Series.

The first decade of the 21st century is over in the world of baseball. (And no, I am not one of those lunatics who considers 2010 part of this decade nor 2000 part of the 1990s.) Next year we enter a new decade and a very new territory in terms of three teams with lots of tradition, ...

The other day, the MLB Network was showing
Game 7 of the 1979 World Series, which is
to date the last time the road team won Game 7 of a World Series. As I wrote in the Pirates Home Grown vs Acquired entry that the 1979 Series was the first ...

Anyone who reads Sully Baseball knows that I
have a strange fascination with the pitcher who closes
out the World Series. I always wanted to be the pitcher getting the last out and being on the bottom of the pile... but alas that's a role that won't ...

Yeah yeah yeah... it's a skin cream. And Roger Clemens never used the stuff, just his wife and Jason Giambi just cut back on burgers and Barry Bonds thought it was flax seed oil. If steroids does this to your skin, that is a bigger deterrent than those shrinking balls! Use steroids and ...

Fans of Sully Baseball know that I refer to Jason Varitek as "The Lobster." It's a much better nickname than 'Tek. Well, like Jermaine Dye's time with the White Sox, it looks like the Captain may have played his last game with the Red Sox. It wasn't even in the playoffs as he rode ...

It looks like Jermaine Dye's days with the White Sox have come to an end. Chicago declined to pick up his option and Dye goes into the winter a free agent. He's 35 years old, had a HORRIBLE second half and the days of sluggers miraculously getting stronger in their late 30s seems ...

The World Series has been over for a few days now... And yes, Johnny Damon and Eric Hinske have indeed joined Ramiro Mendoza as the only living players with World Series rings with the Red Sox and Yankees. But there are some other odd World Series facts that came true as well. Assuming the NL ...

It doesn't look good for the Phillies in '09. Time is running out to beat the Yankees. I'm just saying.

Well the World Series is over. Going into October the Yankees sure looked like the best team and they never faced an elimination game the entire post season. But what about the other teams? Each of the other seven playoff teams (and the one game playoff runner up) go into the off season ...

I got a call from my dad today. We talked about my kids and how we are doing... then my dad said what was on both of our minds. "Sad day today," he said. "Yup" I agreed. End of another year. Not sad because the Yankees won... but because we baseball fans lost that daily companion. My dad ...

Did you see that during his post game interview? He has braces? Really? How did I not know that? Is he the first manager to have braces and win a World Series? Pretty sure Leo Durocher didn't have braces.

Nobody is denying Hideki Matsui had a great Game 6 of the World Series. Heck he drove in 6 runs by himself. His two run homer off of Pedro Martinez got the scoring started... and when the Phillies answered with a run of their own, Matsui got the 2 out 2 run single that made it clear ...

Seriously. Don’t try to taunt. Don’t try to engage Yankee fans. We have no ammo right now. The Yankees were better this year. This was the Yankee’s year. Let Yankee fans gloat. I know it will be physically painful but it’s the right thing to do. Yeah Yankee fans are going to be obnoxious… ...

I can be wrong.
I can be very wrong.
And I am man enough to admit when I am.
Last off season I begged Curt Schilling, Tom Glavine, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Greg Maddux to all retire .
I figured their best years were behind ...

The Phillies showed some resolve not being eliminated in 5. So did the Angels... will ANYONE remember that? Nope. If the Yankees win game 6 or 7, nobody will remember any fight the Phillies had. Is that harsh? Yup. Well let me ask you something? Do you remember how much heart the Mets had in ...

This decade is going to be over in less than 2 months and there is still no consensus of what the heck were supposed to call it. But as the decade wraps up, it is high time to recap the highlights of October baseball. The World Series seemed to be one anti climax after another this decade, but ...

Eric Hinske managed to see action this post season, thus making his potential inclusion in a trivia question concrete. The trivia question that I posted at the beginning of the World Series was "Who is the only living person with a World Series ring as a player for both the Yankees ...

When Brad Lidge coughed up the 9th inning last night giving the Yankees a 3-1 lead in the series, I shot an e mail to a Yankee friend of mine. I said "The Yankees should start Gaudin in Game 5." The thought process was simple. The Yankees are in command, not the Phillies. There's no reason to ...
