Which team is David and which is Goliath again?
The best team in the American League played in the Bronx last night and here is a hint of who it was: They were wearing green.
The Yankees lineup woes continued and their bullpen melted down again. Despite a late lead, the Yankees couldn’t contain Vogt or Moss. The A’s took it in extra innings and looked like the big bad bully.

Meanwhile the Red Sox let another game slip away and Lincecum frustrates again.
Let’s get to the updated Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.
An explanation of what this is all about can be found HERE.
GIANTS DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Two bad innings sink Lincecum who was given a 1-0 lead and then a 4-3 hole. The Reds topped the Giants 8-3. TEETH GRINDER
26 Dodged Bullets 16 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: + 10
A’S DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Brandon Moss homered twice, including in the 10th, as the A’s beat the Yankees in extra innings, 5-2. DODGED BULLET
21 Dodged Bullets 20 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: +1
RED SOX DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Michael Bourn’s double broke a late tie and spoiled a Boston comeback as the Indians held on to win, 5-3. TEETH GRINDER
18 Dodged Bullets 22 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: -4
