2nd Month Awards & Roster Crunch Review

The season is 1/3 complete and the Giants have battled back to mediocrity. It's time to give out some awards! The brothers are giving out awards for MVPs, Unsung Heroes, and Most Improved of month two. They also nominate candidates for next months Most Improved. Then its roster talk: Will Luciano be sent back to Sacramento for glove work? Will the old hurt guys push out Ramos and Matos? Will Farhan really take away all our new toys?

On the cocktail side of things Matthew is drinking an original cocktail, the Late Bloomer while Ben soothes his vocal chords with Hot Toddy #3.
