Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week! The 2nd half of the 2012 MLB Season starts tonight, and that means all games will determine who will be heading to the postseason this October. Here's a preview of what to expect this weekend for New York baseball.
MLB
After the All Star Game where the National League shut out the American League, all the AL teams are attempting to bounce back after that loss. The Yankees will host the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this weekend, while the Mets will face the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field. Here are the current standings for both New York teams.
Yankees (52-33)- 1st in AL East
Mets (46-40)- 3rd in NL East; 4th in NL Wild Card Standings
WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the go home show for the Money in the Bank PPV. And the thing is, no one cares that it's MiTB PPV this Sunday since the WWE is focused on the Raw 1000th episode. Also, it wasn't too special of an episode either. The Anonymous Raw GM returned for the night, and was revealed to be Hornswoggle. Also, the angle between CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and AJ is getting hotter by the day.

Outside of Sports
It's time that you and I had a talk about the facts of life.
Channel Disputes suck, but there's no escape. No one is immune to disputes between cable/satellite providers and the parent companies of these channels. If you don't know, Viacom and DirecTV are in a dispute, and as a result, DirecTV was forced to drop these channels such as MTV, Spike, Comedy Central, etc. Which means for the customers who have D*, they won't have a chance to watch programs such as Impact Wrestling, Bellator, or even more shows. It doesn't matter whose fault it is, the customers are the ones who are suffering.
Now why am I mentioning this? For starters, I was a former DirecTV customer. I left since the contract expired, and I needed to save money. It's a long story, but the point is that I may return in the future, and I don't want these two to continue fighting. Even though both are at fault, Viacom is making things worse by pulling all their online content, making people who aren't DirecTV customers suffer.

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