Episode Description
Last week Pesach talked about the demise of the Yankees... which aged like month-old milk left in Death Valley. So let's try again: what's the deal with the Yankees? But while Scott and Pesach can laugh at the Yankees, they're extremely irritated at Rob Manfred's plan to maintain this 16-team playoff format into the future. Why will something that is effective in other sports be extraordinarily damaging to baseball? Plus: actual fun in the National League pennant race, and a serious discussion about the relationship between a team's racial attitudes and the city it represents.
