About this episode

The hosts discuss the recent Giants vs. Cubs series while sharing cocktail recipes and encouraging fan positivity.

We're accentuating the positive! The boys break down the first two games of the Cubs series (before Matthew runs off to Morocco ... or wherever). They ponder the strange offensive outburst in game one followed by the dearth of runs in game two (and game three!). Next Matthew tells Ben all of the reasons he and other Giants fans should still be happy. By the way, we will not be publishing after the Nationals series. We will return in one week. On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking a Watermelon Basil Margarita while Ben is drinking a Carajillo Puesto. Recipes below. Watermelon Basil Margarita 2 oz Blanco Tequila 3/4 oz Lime Juice 1 oz Watermelon Syrup (or 3/4 oz simple syrup and 4-5 watermelon chunks, muddled) 1/4 oz Cointreau 4-5 Basil Leaves Shake all ingredients with ice until well chilled. Double strain into a chilled rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a watermelon chunk and/or a basil leaf. Carajillo Puesto 2 oz Licor 43 2 oz Espresso Add Licor 43 and ice to a rocks glass. Layer with espresso. #doitforwilson
