Manny Ramirez returned to Fenway Park and it was a beautiful thing. There was too much happiness from 2004 to let bad feelings linger.

Plus the Royals are falling apart, the Astros and Marlins are suddenly good and the Giants nearly threw one of the ugliest no hitters ever.

It is a packed episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Felix Hernandez, Josh Donaldson, Bartolo Colon, Paul Goldschmidt, Nelson Cruz, Nate McClouth, Anibal Sanchez and Clayton Kershaw  all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball

Josh Donaldson is cooler than you

The Tigers dominated the A’s. Anibal Sanchez was pitching like a badass. The Tigers were about to win a 1-0 game in Oakland.

Then a double, a ball off the third baseman’s glove and up steps Josh Donaldson. People may have prettier stats but he leads the league in WAR and WOB.

In other words he is a bad ass.

First pitch to him and BAM! 3 run homer, game over, cue “Celebration.”

Donaldson beat the Tigers, slept with their wives and ate their food.

Let’s get to the updated Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.

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