8/17/2012- Yankees def Texas 3 out of 4, Reds def Mets 2 out of 3, NFL Preseason, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week! Here are all of the info of what happened over the week, and what to expect this weekend. Here we go!

MLB
After the Toronto series, the Yankees came home to host the Texas Rangers in a 4 game set. The Yankees won the 1st 3 games in the series, but failed to sweep them in yesterday's matinee game. For the Mets, they traveled to Cincinnati to face the Reds in a 3 game set. The Reds won the 1st 2 games, but the Mets avoided a sweep yesterday.

This weekend, the Yankees will host their fiercest rival, the Boston Red Sox, while the Mets will be in Washington D.C. to take on the Washington Nationals.

NFL
Training camp is officially over for both New York teams as the Jets returned to Florham Park, while the Giants returned to Timex. Tomorrow, the Jets and Giants will face off in the 2nd annual MetLife Bowl at MetLife Stadium. The Jets hope to win their 2nd straight MetLife Bowl, while the Giants plan to even out the series against the Jets. Even though this game is considered preseason, this has a lot of hype to it when considering "bragging rights".

WWE
SummerSlam is this Sunday, and guess what? WWE didn't do a nice job hyping the go-home show before the PPV. This past Monday on Raw featured the contract signing, and the final hype for SummerSlam. Overall, it was an okay Raw, but not a good one to promote a PPV. After the contract signing, it felt like WWE used up all of their material before 11:15 PM (the time when Raw usually goes off the air). At first, it felt like Raw ended 15 minutes earlier than usual, but it turned out to be a really long commercial break, and the airtime left before 11 PM was basically used to kill time. This is probably why Raw ended by Brock Lesnar breaking Shawn Michaels' arm.

Most likely, I will not be watching this PPV since I have other matters to attend to. However, I will be giving the results next Monday. That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend! -NYCKNP
