6/28/2012- Yankees sweep Cleveland, Cubs def Mets 2 out of 3, review of WWE Raw, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you are enjoying your week thus far. It's very rare that I blog on Thursdays, but for all the readers, you can consider this a Friday edition of the NYCKNP Blog. I will also treat this like a Friday blog, since to me it feels like Friday, instead of Thursday. Here we go!

MLB
After the Yankees and Mets faced each other last weekend during the Subway Series, in which the Yankees won 2 out of 3, it was time to return to normal as the two leagues won't play against each other until the All Star Game and the World Series. The Yankees returned home on Monday to host the Cleveland Indians where they swept them in a bittersweet fashion. It's bittersweet since the Yankees swept Cleveland, but with a hefty price in losing CC Sabathia and Andy Pettite to the DL yesterday.

Meanwhile, the Mets went to Wrigley Field to face the Chicago Cubs in which they fell short in the 1st 2 games, but avoided a sweep big time yesterday. The series was controversial as well, since Ike Davis was ejected on Tuesday for arguing with the 1st base umpire after the umpire made a botched call.

Tonight, the Yankees will host the Chicago White Sox in a 4 game set, which will also include Old Timer's Day, hours before the final game of the series on Sunday. The Mets will continue their road trip and face the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 4 game set.

WWE
This past Monday on Raw was just your average ordinary Raw, with an out of the ordinary opening. If you all noticed this past Monday, when Raw was opening up, a local advertisement interrupted the program. WWE took notice of this, and issued an apology, claiming that USA Network's "Master Control" caused the error in the opening. WWE would give the intro of Raw, uninterrupted in a seperate video: http://youtu.be/ilYcBxMTnkw

Overall, it was an okay Raw. The highlights of Raw were Chris Jericho's return, Sycho Sid's guest appearance, and... well that's pretty much it for the most part.

 


Next Tuesday, The Great American Bash will return as a live SmackDown special:



It was announced earlier in the week that WWE and Ion Television are teaming up to bring a new program for their network called "The Main Event". The show will debut in October, and will feature superstars from Raw and SmackDown. More details will be shared as the time comes.

Impact Wrestling
Here's a preview of tonight's Impact Wrestling on Spike:




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