Remember to listen to Bird’s Eye View on Google Play Music!

The Drink of the Week has gone from drowning our sorrows to celebrating wins. If you’re “celebrating” along, tell us what you’re up to via Twitter (@birdseyeviewbal), or on Untapped (jakee4025 and magn8606).

* Darren O’Day

* Yovani Gallardo

* Caleb Joseph

* J.J. Hardy
