It is time for Red Sox and Yankees! The rivalry is in a strange place right now but no doubt will pick up in intensity.

Also Jim Johnson is out as the closer and Tim Lincecum’s role is unclear.

That and more on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Victor Martinez, Billy Hamilton, Mike Leake, Garrett Richards, Christian Yelich and Carlos Beltran all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball.

Papi, the Curse and the Logger

Big Papi crushed a homer that gave the Sox a lead…

Jim Johnson is cursed and shouldn’t be a closer but that Derek Norris, who looks like a damn logger came to the rescue.

Time to update the “Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder” tally.

An explanation of what this is all about can be found HERE.

GIANTS DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally

 

3 Dodged Bullets 1 Teeth Grinder

TOTAL: + 2

 

A’S DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally

Jim Johnson’s disastrous 9th spoils Jesse Chavez’s good game. But Derek Norris’ home run gave the A’s a 7-4 extra inning win over the Twins. DODGED BULLET

3 Dodged Bullets 2 Teeth Grinders

TOTAL: +1

RED SOX DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally

Losing in the 8th, Ortiz hooked a 3 run shot barely fair and the Red Sox beat the Rangers 4-2. DODGED BULLET

4 Dodged Bullets 4 Teeth Grinders

TOTAL: EVEN

 

Red Sox and Yankees will square off, A’s finish up with the Twins and the Giants try to take on the Snakes. Nobody is on the negative side anymore. Let’s see how long that lasts.
