    [CORRECTED] Why Won't Anyone Trade with the Giants?

    Ben once again published the wrong file yesterday. Matthew & Bob are having an emergency meeting to discuss. In the meantime here's the actual episode we recorded! It's like they don't like what we have or something. The brothers ponder the lack of trades and the news that it's not for a lack of trying. Then Matthew gives a quiz and accuses Ben of failing it. For the record here is Ben's recollection of how he did on the quiz: #1: Correct, because even though I said the wrong answer I knew what the right answer was but didn't want to say it. I also get credit for getting question 1-B right. So at this point I had a score of 200% #2: Wrong, but because I was at 200%, I'm still at %100. #3: Correct. %150 #4: Correct. I'm not sure what the percentage is now, but I'm still acing this test. #5: Wrong. No one gets this one right. Stupid question. #6: Correct. I'm killing it. #7: Correct. I'm a stud. #8: Wrong. I don't want the listeners to feel bad, so I answer another incorrectly. Also, I didn't know the answer. #9: Correct. We cheated on this one because Matthew thought I was doing poorly, because he doesn't listen. #10: Correct. #11: Correct. #12: Wrong. Enrique Pequeno should have been the answer. #13: Correct. #14: Wrong. On the cocktail side of things Matthew is drinking a Final Ward while Ben is drinking a Tribute. Recipes below. Final Ward3/4 oz Rye Whiskey3/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur3/4 oz Lemon Juice3/4 oz Green ChartreuseShake all ingredients until well-chilled. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Tribute1/2 oz Cognac1 tsp Creme de Violette3 1/2 oz Brut champagne/sparkling wineSpray or rinse a chilled flute glass with the creme de violette. Stir the congac with ice and strain into the flute.

    Are the Giants Blowing Their Opportunity to Win?

    The 2026 Rotation is set. Our curmudgeons discuss the signing of Tyler Mahle, the non-signing of Tatsuya Imai, and whether the Giants have enough pitching to succeed in 2026.

Add the sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick, oranges wheels and tea bags and allow to steep for at least 6 minutes. A longer steep will result in stronger flavors. Combine the gin, orange liqueur, vermouth, and bitters in a large heat proof pitcher. Strain the tea mixture through a fine strainer into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine. (Note that final result will be luke warm, you can heat gently on the stove in a large vessel or enjoy as is. Do not add ice as it will overly dilute the cocktail.)
