Hey guys. I hope you all had a nice weekend. As you may know summer vacation is coming to an end. This means that baseball season is currently in "lame duck" mode before post-season starts, while football is about to begin. Speaking of these sports, let's begin shall we.
MLB
The Mets had a horrible weekend as they lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 3 in a row. Although Mets attempted a comeback due to Angel Pagan's home run, the Brewers made sure to clinch a victory on Saturday. As for the Yankees, they defeated the Minnesota Twins 3 out of 4. The Saturday game was the only one they lost due to Minnesota dominating in the 1st inning, therefore avoiding a Yankees sweep.
This week in New York baseball, the Mets will head to Philadelphia to face the Phillies in a 3-game series while the Yankees will host the Oakland Athletics tomorrow for a 3 game series this week.
Bellator
Bellator Fighting Championships have concluded their Summer Series on Saturday with the Pat Curran/ Marlon Sandro fight as the Featherweight Tournament Final. The event took place at the Mohegan Sun Casino and aired on MTV 2. Here are the results of the televised card:
- Nazare def. Juan Barrantes via Medical Stoppage at Round 2.
- Seth Petruzelli def. Ricco Rodriguez via TKO at Round 1
- Ryan Quinn def. Brett Oteri via submission by rear naked choke at Round 1*
- Bellator Heavyweight Champion Cole Konrad def. Paul Buentello via unanimous decision in a non-title fight
- Pat Curran def. Marlon Sandro via KO at Round 2 to win the Bellator Summer Series Featherweight Tournament
*= originally a local feature fight
Overall, it was a good card, with the only exceptions being the Quinn/Oteri and Konrad/Buentello fights being not so good. However, they saved the best for last in the end as the final fight was tremendous and what I consider an OMG moment. Here is the highlight of Bellator 48:
Bellator Fighting Championships will return for Season 5 starting September 10th. You can catch a sneak peek of the 5th season of Bellator on September 6th on MTV 2. Go to Bellator.com for more info
WWE
This past Friday of SmackDown was the episode of which Orton returns as World Heavyweight Champion. Also, a 20 man battle royal took place to determine the Number 1 Contendership to face Randy Orton. Mark Henry has won the Battle Royal and will face Randy Orton at a later date. Also, WWE promoted a special SmackDown that will air live on Tuesday August 30th. Here's a sneak peek:
WWE promoted this as "Super SmackDown" so something special must be taking place. Also, don't forget to tune in to Monday Night Raw to determine what's the situation occurring between CM Punk, Triple H, John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, and Kevin Nash
NFL
The New York Jets played another preseason game as they faced the Cincinnati Bengals last night in a victory. The highlight of the game was Plaxico Burress catching the ball from Mark Sanchez to make a touchdown. The result of the game was Bengals-7, Jets-27.
The New York Giants will face the Chicago Bears tonight as part of Monday Night Football.
That is all I have to say for now. Have a good week!
