The Giants have their worst week of the season, a 1-7 run following the All-Star Break. They're still in first place! They still have one of the best records in baseball! There's still a whole lot of talent on the team! But it's one of those things where the Giants have hit a bad stretch and you have to wonder if that run is going to stretch on for far too long. Will they be able to pull out of it before they fall too far behind in the standings? What do the Giants need as the trade deadline approaches?
And, we also talk about the Chicago White Sox, who've made a lot of news this season for some big off the field reasons. But Doug and I wonder: have the White Sox players had a point this whole time? Are we wrong to laugh at them? We also answer your very strong bunch of Twitter questions.
