This episode is different. This is a special mid-week episode of the Zach and Vinny Sports Show, where we are talking all about our frustrations with the New York Yankees. This team has so much potential, yet they have fallen to a .500 record and do not look like they can even compete at the MLB level. They are only 0.5 games above the Orioles for the 8th spot in the playoffs and will be competing with Baltimore, Seattle, and Detroit the rest of the year just to make the playoffs.
