I heap more praise on the World Champion Royals and realize that trading for Jonny Gomes was brilliant because he had one single job: Give a great speech at the World Series celebration.
Also, I address a SoundCloud user, Bill Burns 4, who feels that I am not being respectful enough to the Royals.
Cue up the victory BBQ for the latest episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I woke up this morning by a text from my Red Sox loving friend Kenny Mack that Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes were dealt to the A’s for Yoenis Cespedes.
Good morning.
Kenny and I discussed the move and the legacies of both teams. We sometimes got off topic.
It is a trade deadline episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)
And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOWS to a worthy player on the losing team.
For a full explanation, click HERE.
From October 27th’s game:
Receiving 1 WOWS:
Felix Doubront gave the Red Sox 2 2/3 solid innings, striking out 3 and bridged the game to the final few innings, earning the win, 4-2.
Jonny Gomes got the biggest hit of the series, a 3 run homer, that gave the Red Sox a lead they would not relinquish for a 4-2 final over the Cardinals.
Receiving 1/2 WOWS:
Allen Craig once again slammed a huge hit off of Koji Uehara and remained a strange force in the endings of the World Series games, which St. Louis lost, 4-2.
Current WOWS tallies:
Hitters
Carlos Beltran, Cardinals – 1 1/2
David Ortiz, Red Sox – 1 1/2
Jonny Gomes, Red Sox – 1
Matt Holliday, Cardinals – 1
Xander Bogaerts, Red Sox – 1/2
Allen Craig, Cardinals – 1/2
Pitchers
Felix Doubront, Red Sox -1 1/2
Jon Lester, Red Sox – 1
Trevor Rosenthal, Cardinals – 1
Michael Wacha, Cardinals – 1
John Lackey, Red Sox- 1/2
