Buster Has Had Enough: "It's Time to Go"

It was the Tuesday Night Purple Purge. Christian Kossd: demoted. Sam Huff: gone. LaMonte Wade Jr.: gone?! The brothers break down the overhaul of the Giants bench and departure of the great Late Night LaMonte. Ben even put together some compilations of some of Wade's bets moments as a Giant. Links right here:

But first they break down the first 3 games of the Padres series: Wilmer gets testy! Webb gets Webbed ... again. Roupp gets Camiloed ("It's not Camilo's fault!" ... Ben made me write that.) And Daniel Johnson arrives just in the "Nick" of time.

Speaking of cocktails, today Matthew is drinking Gin Strawberry Smash while Ben is drinking a Purple Purge Recipes below.

Gin Strawberry Smash

  • 2 oz Gin
  • 3/4 oz Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
  • 2-3 Strawberries
  • Strawberry for garnish
  • Muddle strawberries and simple syrup in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add remaining ingredients with ice. Shake until well-chilled. Double strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a fresh strawberry.

Purple Purge

  • 1 1/2 oz Indigo Gin
  • 1/2 oz Mezcal
  • 1/4 oz Islay Scoth (Ben used Laphroaig)
  • 1 oz Simple Syrup
  • 1 oz Lemon Juice
  • Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until well chilled. Double strain into a coupe or Nick & Nora glass. Drop three $2 cherries into the bottom because you bought them a while ago and don’t really like and this as good of a time as any to put them in a drink.
