Hello everyone. This is the last blog of September as tomorrow is October 1st. Which means that fall has been kicked into full throttle. MLB has ended their regular season and has now started postseason work. Here are all the info on the last few days of regular season and postseason, along with other stuff.
MLB
After a weekend of rivalries ending in the regular season for both Yankees and Mets, the Yankees headed to Tampa Bay to face the Rays in which they were swept from all 3 games. The Mets lost the final 2 games of the season to Cincinnati, but avoided a sweep and ended the season with a win, leaving a positive note for next season as the Mets didn't make it to the postseason. Despite the Yankees losing the series against Tampa Bay, it wasn't considered to be a big deal for the Yankees since they won the AL East and didn't use any of their starters. However, it was an important one for the Wild Card as Boston lost their final game of the season and the Rays took lead of the Wild Card and became winners of the AL Wild Card.
Now that the regular season is over, it's time for the postseason. The ALDS and NLDS will occur until there are 2 winners from each league. Here are the match-ups involved:
NFL
This weekend, the New York Giants will be heading to the University of Phoenix Stadium, where they won their recent Super Bowl, to face the Arizona Cardinals in a late game that is scheduled to air on FOX. The New York Jets will head to Baltimore to face the Ravens in a primetime game on NBC Sunday Night Football. I will give my thoughts on Monday about these 2 games.
College Football
This weekend on College Football, the Oklahoma Sooners will face the Ball State Cardinals in an evening game that will air on PPV. This game scheduled on PPV will be available nationally on DirecTV, Dish Network, and AT&T U-Verse, while it will be on select cable systems in the Oklahoma/Texas area. Rutgers will face Syracuse at the Carrier Dome that will streamed on ESPN 3 in select areas, Notre Dame will face Purdue in a primetime game scheduled to air on ESPN. Last but not least, Kean Cougars will host TCNJ tonight and will be streamed on Kean Athletics website.
WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the final Raw before Hell in a Cell and the storyline continues on Triple H losing control of the WWE. This time, it escalates when several disgruntled wrestlers are forming an alliance with David Otunga as their attorney (Otunga was a Harvard Law graduate). Also, Jerry Lawler was not present on Raw due to him selling the effects of him being attacked by Mark Henry. Booker T filled in for him that week. Believe it or not, I think the commentary team of Jim Ross, Booker T, and Michael Cole is much better than the usual team of Ross, Lawler, and Cole (and definitely better than the SmackDown announce team). The one thing that made me laugh was when Ross told Booker T to "testify!", implying that Booker was preaching to the choir.
ROH
Last weekend, Ring of Honor Wrestling returned to television after half a year absence. Although, I watched in online on ROH Wrestling's website since ROH isn't available in my area yet. I thought the inaugural episode was pretty entertaining and ROH has certainly learned from their mistakes in the HDNet era. The 1st episode was mainly about the tag team matches where Future Shock (Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly) faced the Bravado Brothers (Lance and Harlem) in a winning effort. Also, there was a tag team match between ROH Tag Team Champions Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin faced the Kings of Wrestling Chris Hero and Claudio Castiagnoli in a winning effort. This was also the last time that the Kings of Wrestling would be a team as most recently Castiagnoli signed a developmental contract with the WWE, and now goes by the name Antonio Cesaro. Here's a preview of the next episode:
MMA
This Saturday is MMA Saturday Night Fights as Bellator will have an event this Saturday night scheduled to air on MTV 2, while the UFC will host an event on Versus. I will give the results on Monday.
Have a good weekend everyone!
