What Now?

The trade deadline is over. Our gobsmacked goobers react to the Rangers series (Logan & JHL dominate, the unsung young players nearly steal a victory, and the Carsons get whooped) and then ask the question: Now that the trade deadline is over, what is a Giants fan to do?

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Pineapple Margarita while Matthew is drinking a Cry Me A River Cats. Recipes below.
