8/10/2012- Yankees/Tigers split series, Marlins def Mets 2 out of 3, NFL Preseason, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you enjoyed your week this week. As you may know, NFL Preseason has started and that means the two New York football teams are playing tonight. I will give a preview of what to expect for tonight's preseason games as well as my usual stuff. Here we go!

MLB
After the Yankees beat the Mariners 2 out of 3 this weekend, they headed to Comerica Park to face the Detroit Tigers. After the Tigers won the first two games, the Yankees got a win on Wednesday (although it was almost a loss), and made a come from behind win after what happened to Yankees manager Joe Girardi yesterday. Yesterday in the early parts of the game, after one of the Detroit batters hit the ball, and hit the borderline between in bounds and out of bounds, the umpire originally called it foul but changed it to fair. Girardi went to contest the call, and after a few moments he was ejected from the game.

After the ejection from the game, Mark Teixera (followed by Eric Chavez) hit back to back home runs that helped the Yankees come from behind.
Meanwhile for the Mets, they hosted the Miami Marlins at home in a 3 game set. The Marlins won the 1st 2 games, but R.A. Dickey made sure that the Mets avoid a sweep.
Tonight, the Yankees will be in Toronto to face the Blue Jays this weekend, while the Mets will host the Atlanta Braves this weekend.
NFL
That's right. NFL is back! Well, it's actually preseason, but still a good way to find out how the rookies will perform heading to the regular season next month. The New York Jets will face the Cincinnati Bengals, while the New York Giants will face the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tonight's Jets game will be on the NFL Network and WCBS, while the Giants game will be on WWOR (NBC is covering the Olympics so WNBC won't be able to air tonight's game).
WWE
This past Monday on Raw was just your ordinary episode of Raw, with the exception that Shawn Michaels making an appearance to give his opinion on the Triple H vs Brock Lesnar match at SummerSlam.

Other than that, it was just an ordinary episode of Raw, with nothing special that day. WWE did air a new Raw intro with the new theme song that was used on Raw 1000.

UFC
Tomorrow night is UFC 150 where a rematch will take place between Ben Henderson and Frankie Edgar. Here's an preview:

That's all I have to say for now. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
