Okay, so you have just read the title that this will be a 2-part blog that will continue into tomorrow as well. Also, today is the official first day of summer!!!! Woooo!! I love summer season since it's very beautiful weather, and it's NOT WINTER! I will give a later blog about my favorite summer seasons and give an explanation why they are my favorite.
As you many know, interleague competition is going underway in the world of Major League Baseball. The two teams that I usually talk about are currently playing the "must-see games" as we speak. Over the weekend, the Yankees defeated the Chicago Cubs 2 out of 3 games. The Mets were unfortunate as they were defeated by the Angels 2 out of 3. What surprised me the most was this past edition of ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. During the Sunday game, Nick Swisher hit a home run to give the Yankees a lead and the fans gave him a standing ovation at Wrigley Field. In my mind, it was ??????????? Yet again, Swisher has some popularity in Chicago as his father Steve Swisher played for the Chicago Cubs and Nick played for the Chicago White Sox one season.
Speaking of Chicago, the Crosstown Classic is going on until tomorrow as the Chicago White Sox face off against the Chicago Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field. The Cubs defeated the White Sox yesterday 6-3. One of these teams has an opportunity to win Part 1 of the Crosstown Classic (Part 2 is on 4th of July weekend, the same weekend as the Subway Series)
Yesterday, the Mets had the day off while the Yankees defeated the Cincinnati Reds 5-3. As for tonight, the Mets will face the Oakland Athletics while the Yankees will continue their series against the Reds tonight.
(ESPN Tone Alert)
Wait, just a minute. I received an alert from ESPN ScoreCenter. According to ESPN, because of weather conditions the game that is scheduled for tonight at Cincinnati will be postponed. So tonight's game of Yankees vs Reds has been declared a no-contest.
If you are fortunate enough to get WGN America in your area, tonight's Crosstown Classic game will be broadcast on that channel.
Shifting gears to MMA, it was announced yesterday that the NY Assembly has put the legalization of MMA for the state on hold for another year. To me, that was a little disappointing to hear. If MMA does come to the state of New York, business will definitely pick up for both the city and the entire state. Imagine a UFC event at Madison Square Garden or Nassau Coliseum. A Bellator event at the Manhattan Center. Heck, even imagine any MMA event in Yankee Stadium or Citi Field. Reality Check, this won't happen until NY sanctions it.
This wraps up Part 1. Part 2 will continue tomorrow.
