10/24/2011- NY Jets def. San Diego, MLB World Series, Sooners get 1st loss of the season, Bellator 55 results, more

Hello everyone! I apologize for my absence since I had a cold last Monday and was resting up the entire week. I am currently feeling a lot better compared to last week. Instead of recapping what happened while I was away, I will only recap stuff that occurred over the weekend. That way, it will save up time on typing.
MLB
The World Series began on October 19th as the Texas Rangers face the St. Louis Cardinals in a best of 4 out of 7 games. Currently the series is tied 2-2 as the Cardinals won Games 1 and 3, while the Rangers won Games 2 and 4. Here is the rest of the schedule:
  • Game 5: 10/24 Cardinals @ Rangers 8:05 PM
  • Game 6: 10/26 Rangers @ Cardinals 8:05 PM
  • Game 7: 10/27 Rangers @ Cardinals 8:05 PM*
*- if necessary
All games are scheduled to air on FOX and ESPN Radio

NFL
Yesterday, the New York Jets hosted the San Diego Chargers in an afternoon game on CBS. It was the only New York football game on television since the Giants were on bye this week. This was considered to be the toughest game the Jets faced as the Chargers dominated most of the game. However, the Jets made a comeback and led to a 27-21 victory. Although we should give credit where credit is due since had it not been for defense playing really well, Plaxico Burress' 3 catches for TDs, and a field goal in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter, the Jets would have lost. Here are the highlights:


College Football
This past weekend was filled with shockers as Rutgers got their 2nd loss to Louisville Cardinals 16-14, Notre Dame lost to USC 31-17, and the Oklahoma Sooners got their 1st loss of the season to Texas Tech 41-38. The good news is that Kean University won their Homecoming Game against Morrisville State College 26-13.

Bellator
Bellator 55 took place on Saturday night and was emanated from Yuma, AZ. Here are the results from the main card:
  • Ricardo Triloni def Steve Gable via submission in Round 2
  • Travis Wiuff def Christian M' Pumbu via unanimous decision in a non-title bout
  • Eduardo Dantas def Ed West via split decision to advance to Bantamweight Finals
  • Alexis Vila def Marcos Galvao via split decision to advance to Bantamweight Finals
Here are the highlights:

UFC
As many of you already heard, UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre is out with a knee injury and therefore won't be able to defend his title against Carlos Condit on October 29th. UFC promoter Dana White announced that the new main event of UFC 137 will be BJ Penn vs Nick Diaz to take place instead of St. Pierre vs Condit. More info about UFC 137 will be announced.

WWE
Last week, WWE was in Mexico City for the tapings of Raw and SmackDown. Here is a recap of what took place last week in WWE:


Last night, the Vengeance PPV took place. Even though I didn't see this PPV, I heard that during the World Heavyweight Title Match, Mark Henry superplexed the Big Show and the ring broke. Here are the results from the Vengeance PPV:
  • Air Boom (Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston) def. Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship
  • Dolph Ziggler def. Zack Ryder to retain the United States Championship
  • Beth Phoenix def Eve Torres to retain the Divas Championship
  • Sheamus def Christian
  • The Miz and R-Truth def Triple H and CM Punk
  • Randy Orton def Cody Rhodes in a non-title match
  • Big Show vs Mark Henry went to a No-Contest (as mentioned above)
  • Alberto Del Rio def John Cena to retain the WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing Match
The next WWE PPV will be Survivor Series, and will feature The Rock making his return match.


 More info to be announced.

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week.
