Shorts is pleased to announce that Drake May is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week, with an impressive performance against the Buffalo Bills. But the better news for Shorts and the sad news for Doug is that the Yankees are done for the season.

D&J and Shorts talk about the Yankees' loss, highlighting the team's hefty payroll and the fact that they were swept by the Tampa Bay team, which has a much lower budget. They also discuss the current playoff system in baseball, which they feel is confusing and unfair, especially since the AL East teams were some of the best in the league.
