## Resource

The Giants did what they do best: flirt with competence just long enough to make the inevitable crash hurt worse. Ben spends a solid chunk of the episode prosecuting a beaver-related crime scene at second base, while the brothers spiral into a delightful “what if the kids actually played?” fantasy starring Bryce Eldridge, Casey Schmitt, and Daniel Susac. Somewhere between Logan Webb getting baseball-godded and the bullpen once again setting fire to a winnable series, they talk themselves into—and immediately out of—trading the future. By the end, the only thing more reliable than homeostasis is the existential dread of watching Bryce Eldridge rake for someone else. On the cocktail side, the boys are drinking an Espresso Martini and a Margarita . Espresso Martini 2 oz vodka 1 oz Mr. Black coffee liqueur 1 oz espresso (warm or room temperature) 1/4 oz spiced demerara syrup 1 dash Aztec chocolate bitters 3 espresso beans for garnish Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until nice and foamy. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with three espresso beans—one for each championship, or one for each Casey Schmitt extra-base hit depending on your mood. Margarita 2 oz reposado tequila 1/2 oz orange curaçao 1/2 oz simple syrup (or agave syrup) 3/4 oz lime juice Salt for the rim Salt the rim of a rocks glass, then combine all liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain over fresh ice in the prepared glass and enjoy the timeless comfort of a classic while the bullpen does whatever it is the bullpen does. #DoItForWilson
