Yes Matty... for one day the Dodgers are #1

As I wrote before, I am raising one child to be a Giants fan and my other as a Dodgers fan.And while one son, Aidan, is rooting for the Defending Champs, my other boy Matty has the upper hand for at least a day.The Giants didn't do much to change their appearance of being all pitch and no hit and torturing their fans. I still think the Giants are winning the division and the Dodgers are in for

Happy Birthday to two guys close to starting their sports memories

I have a theory about sports fandom.For the first 6 to 8 years of a sports fans' life, they sort of watch sports without understanding it. They may have a "favorite team" because their parents watch a team or kids in their class wear a hat or jacket, but they don't really follow the team.Then somewhere between 8 and 10 years old, the fans start to truly follow a team. The ins and outs of the team

A message from my son Aidan

How did we do with our picks? (And how did the fish do?)

Before the playoffs began, I made my post season picks… and compared them to the picks of my wife Lisa, my sister in law Debbie, my sons Matty and Aidan, a coin toss and which direction my fish Red swam.With the Division Series over, let’s see how we all did.SULLY’S PICKSPHILLIES over REDSGIANTS over BRAVESYANKEES over TWINSRAYS over RANGERS3 out of 4SULLY’S WIFE LISA’S PICKSREDS over

Which Twins would put up a bigger fight against the Yankees?

The playoffs are starting in less than an hour and it is time to make my official picks.Now my picks tend to suck... despite my following EVERY team in baseball and thinking way too much about, my powers of prediction leave a lot to be desired.So this year I am comparing my picks to Debbie Zambetti, my wonderful Sister in Law and a health and nutrition counselor who maintains a wonderful website

Why doesn't MLB want my money?

This past Labor Day weekend my family took a weekend trip to the lovely city of San Diego... and while I was there I ran smack dab against a Major League Baseball rule that didn't make a lick of sense to me.Bear with me.We were staying in a hotel right across the street from PetCo Park, a stadium I hadn't seen yet. Now the Padres were playing the Rockies Friday night, Saturday afternoon and

Sneaky Twins

Twins can be very sneaky.Trust me... I am the father of two of them and they work in tandem sometimes to get what they want.Well guess what? There are some sneaky Twins in Minnesota.Now while we have all be looking at the Yankees and Rays and seeing who will get home field advantage and I've been hoping the White Sox make the AL Central another "decided via 1 game playoff" year for the third

Here's what I want to have happen this Labor Day weeekend

As we enter the last part of the season, there is a full slate of games for this weekend.Here's what I hope happens in each series.RED SOX vs. WHITE SOXI want to see the White Sox win the division... but not at the expense of MY Sox. Look, I realize the Red Sox are probably going to fall short, but I want the Yankees and Rays to EARN their playoff spot. Obviously I want a sweep... but I wouldn't
