It Was a Party Before it Was a Murder

Blue Jays and crows are both members of the Corvidae family. Our ornithologists marvel at the stark contrast between Monday's game and Tuesday & Thursday's games as they break down the Toronto series. Then they discuss the Giants playoff chances and what they need to do to fill their holes for the second half push. (No, really. It was Ben's idea!) They also discuss retiring umpires, the impending draft, and changing the name of the podcast to Giant Fireballs. (... because of the Firebells ... details inside.)

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Country Roads while Matthew is drinking a Toronto. Recipes below.
