Chirping About Birdsong

The sweet relief of a solid debut. In today's episode our ornithologists sing the praises of Hayden Birdsong and his major league debut. They also celebrate the 3 game winning streak with some ridiculous trade talk. Also in the lightning round Matthew makes Ben accept boredom, they debate who will hit 29 home runs this year, and then put unreasonable expectations on Hayden Birdsong.

On the cocktail side of things Ben is drinking a Martinez while Matthew is drinking a Youra Banana. Recipes below.
