8/27/2012- Yankees def Indians 2 out of 3, Mets def Astros 2 out of 3, NFL Preseason, Bellator 73 results, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great weekend! As you may know, the season of summer is coming to an end as next week students will be returning to school. That also means that next week my fall semester starts. Let's cut to the chase, shall we. Here we go!

MLB
After a rough outing in Chicago, the Yankees traveled to Cleveland in hopes of a win and it sure came as the Yankees ended a 3 game losing streak on Friday. Even though the Yankees got shut out on Saturday, they won the series on Sunday. Meanwhile for the Mets, they hosted the Astros one last time as intradivision opponents where they lost on Friday, got a win on Saturday, and an ugly win on Sunday.

This week, the Yankees are home and will host the Toronto Blue Jays in a 3 game set starting tonight, while the Mets are on the road and will face the Philadelphia Phillies in a 3 game set starting tomorrow night.

NFL
This past weekend was "the final dress rehearsal" for all the NFL teams in week 3 of the preseason as all the starters prepare for the regular season come September. The New York Giants hosted the Chicago Bears on Friday night, and aired on CBS. I didn't see the entire game, but I know that Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf called the game. All I can say is Dan Dierdorf was a little annoying that night as he was making puns for no reason, and accidentally called Eli Manning "Peyton". The highlights will speak louder than my words.

Last night on Sunday Night Football, the New York Jets hosted the Carolina Panthers. Even though the Jets lost the game, and haven't scored a touchdown this preseason, improvement was made last night compared to the Week 2 preseason game. Mark Sanchez was given time to throw from the pocket, and looked alright in the game. However, his receiving core didn't as Stephen Hill dropped a few passes (one that led to an INT), Santonio Holmes was rusty, TE Dustin Keller was removed from the game due to injury, and Josh Baker is out for the season. Also, it didn't help with the penalties when Slauson attempted to break up a fight between Jets' Turner and Panthers' Nakamura and got flagged for "personal foul". As for the secondary team, and Tim Tebow, let's just say that he can rush, but his passing needs improvement. Here are the highlights.
Bellator Bellator Fighting Championships concluded the 2012 Summer Series with a bang, as a Knockout finished the Light Heavyweight Tournament Final. The event took place in Tunica, Mississippi, and emanated from Harrah's Tunica Hotel and Casino. Here are the results:
  • Mike Wessel def Ryan Martinez via split decision
  • Mike Mucitelli def Matt Van Buren via submission at Round 1
  • Marcos Galvao def Luis Nogueira via TKO in Round 2 to win the Season 6 Bantamweight Tournament
  • Attila Vegh def Travis Wiuff via KO at Round 1 to win the Summer Series Light Heavyweight Tournament
Here are the highlights:
Bellator Fighting Championships will return on September 28th with Season 7. WWE This Monday on Raw, Triple H will make an appearance addressing his future in the WWE. Also, find out what happened after CM Punk attacked Jerry Lawler. That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week! -NYCKNP
