Sully Baseball

On today's Sunday Request, @ewokinla knows my disdain for Aroldis Chapman but felt he might have been the difference between the Cubs winning or losing the World Series. I beg to differ.

Super Cubs fan (and Sully Baseball devotee) Marcel Beiler, AKA @cu8sfan (Cubs Fan With An Eight) joins the show to talk about the World Series title and celebration.

Mike Montgomery's save in Game 7 of the World Series was as unlikely as any in baseball history. Plus some surprising names led who owned October and the World Series.

Even nature had to stop and catch its breath as the Indians and Cubs fought through a game I rank as one of the 3 greatest I have ever seen.

Game 7 of the World Series is tonight. What fan base will have their dreams come true? Which fan base will be devastated? What scenarios will be the most crushing? And what other Game 7's have lived up to the hype?

Was Game 6 of the 2016 World Series a classic? Actually no. It was kind of a dud. But it was a strange dud whose impact could be felt in Game 7.

Game 5 of the 2016 World Series was a thriller. I gave my in game thoughts and post game opinions as the baseball season moves on to November.

SUNDAY REQUEST - @sullybballLOTD has thoughts on a video I posted showing the clinching moments of 50 straight years of the World Series.

In a few days one team will no longer be suffering through a big drought. One team will continue their drought. And time has gone on, some surprising franchises will make their fans "Long Suffering" soon.

World Series narratives can be impossible to predict even after three games. Meanwhile I ponder a $2 million ticket to Wrigley.

I have some thoughts of Game 2 of the World Series and I began to think of Frank Thomas and Clay Buchholz and participating and NOT participating in the World Series.

Baseball is a distraction from reality. And some days that is a very useful service.

Taking a very late night drive, I stay awake by talking about the World Series and the Hall of Fame legacies of some of the players and specifically the managers.

Four Years... A New Podcast every single day. I reflect on what has changed since I started doing the show and what else needs to be done.

SUNDAY REQUEST - @IlliniDodgers wants to know my thoughts on the Adrian Gonzalez slide. Plus my wife and I talk about the World Series match ups and Chief Wahoo.

Sure there are long suffering Cub fans. There are also long suffering Dodger fans. And they suffered tonight. Meanwhile Maddon's decision to celebrate Chapman made me turn off the game.

No games today, so no better time to pick the off season awards, which should be handed out before Game 1 of the World Series.

What was going to be one of the great games of the year turned into a slow paced frustrating game between the Dodgers and Cubs.

The Indians won the pennant! And I talked about being a Cleveland fan in these happy times with super fan and comedian, Bill Sindelar.

The Indians might not have clinched today, but they are in the process of doing something really special.
