We can write lazy click bait headlines too! Our editors break down the Padres series so far: a winning streak!, Kai Wei Teng ... again, a Roupp-ian disaster, before boldly predicting what will happen in Verlander's start. Then they dive into the Heliot Ramos controversy and discuss the journalistic quality (or lack thereof) of some media outlets.

Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen

Speaking of cocktails, today Matthew is drinking a Snoopy while Ben is drinking a Rattlesnake. Recipes below.

• 3/4 oz Bourbon
• 3/4 oz Grand Marnier
• 1/2 oz Galiano
• 1/2 oz Aperol Campari
• 1/4 oz Lemon Juice
• Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Garnish with an orange peel.

• 2 oz Rye Whiskey
• 3/4 oz - 1 oz Lemon juice
• 3/4 oz - 1 oz Simple syrup
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 tsp Absinthe for rinse
• Add the absinthe to a chilled coupe or martini glass. Add the remaining ingredients except the absinthe to a shaker with no ice. Shake for 15-20 seconds to emulsify the egg white. Open the shaker and add ice and shake again until well chilled. Swirl the absinthe around your prepared glass and dump any excess. Double strain the shaker contents into the glass.
