Another fortnight has passed so Andrew and Liam take a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of their respective teams' recent outings. The Yankees pull out brooms with back to back sweeps and win every single series while only losing two games. The Giants on the other hand lose two centerfielders, a left fielder, two starters get delayed, another catcher is lost (and one gained), and the AAA team has no more players. Fun.
