9/23/2011- Yankees Win AL East!, NY Giants pick up 1st victory in the 2011 NFL Season, review of WWE Raw, ROH makes it's return to Television, MMA Saturday Night Fights, more

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week as a lot has occurred over the past few days. Here we go...

MLB
After a make up game victory over the Minnesota Twins that had Mariano Rivera breaking the record for saves, the Yankees hosted Tampa Bay Rays in a 4 game series. Tuesday saw the Yankees shut out the Rays in a 5-0 victory, while Wednesday turned out to be a doubleheader. The doubleheader had the same score of a 4-2 victory, but it was the most important day since the day game saw Yankees getting a postseason berth while the night game had the Yankees win the AL East.


 Although the Rays avoided a sweep by defeating the Yankees last night, it wasn't considered to be a big deal. Meanwhile for the Mets, they have lost to St Louis in the 1st two games but avoided a St Louis sweep as the Mets defeated them last night.

This weekend is a HUGE weekend for New York City baseball as the Yankees will host the Boston Red Sox in their final meeting in the regular season of this year. The Mets will return home to host the Philadelphia Phillies in their final meeting of this year.

NFL
This past Monday, the Giants had their first home game of the season hosting the St. Louis Rams. The Giants may have picked up their 1st victory, but it wasn't without controversy as some of the players from the Giants side faked injuries to confuse the Rams. Here are the highlights:

This Sunday, the Giants will be heading to Philadelphia to face their division rival the Eagles in a 1:00 game on FOX, while the Jets will be heading to the West Coast to face the Oakland Raiders in a 4:15 game on CBS. My suggestion is for Giants fans is to skip that game this Sunday since this rivalry has become 1 sided and the Giants haven't been able to defeat the Eagles since 2008. If I'm proven wrong, then I will say something on Monday.

WWE
This past Monday on Raw continued the storyline of how Triple H is losing control as WWE COO. This was just an average Raw, with the exceptions of Hugh Jackman guest starring on Raw and being in the corner of Zack Ryder in his match against Dolph Ziggler in which Jackman sneaked in a punch to Ziggler's jaw. Another highlight of the episode was where Jim Ross interviewed the new World Champion Mark Henry in which he attempted to harm JR. Jerry Lawler would come to JR's rescue and sacrificed himself to protect JR in which he was slammed through a table and was legitimately injured, according to Jim Ross' Twitter account. Jim Ross also mentioned that Lawler may not appear on Raw next week due to him being "hurt for real". At the end of the episode, Triple H "fired" The Miz & R-Truth after their match against John Cena and CM Punk. The Awesome Truth refused to leave quietly in which Triple H had to get security to escort Miz and Truth out of the building. Here's a preview of next week's Raw:


ROH
After nearly 6 months, Ring of Honor Wrestling returns to television this Saturday. Here's a sneak peek of what's in store:

MMA
This weekend is MMA Saturday Night Fights. Tonight, Strikeforce will have Strikeforce Challengers 19 and will air on Showtime. Tomorrow, UFC will host a PPV called UFC 135: Jones vs Rampage, and last but not least Bellator will have an event this Saturday as well.

College Football
This weekend on College Football, Oklahoma Sooners will host Missouri in a primetime game on FX. Notre Dame will head to Pittsburgh in a afternoon game airing on ABC, while Rutgers will host Ohio in a 2PM game streaming on ESPN 3 (which I accidentally said it last week). Last but not least, Kean University will head out of state to face Western Connecticut in an afternoon game that will not be streamed.

That is all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
