Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week! As you may know, Blogger underwent a new format, which happened around the time I changed the design on my blog the week before. I guess you can say, times must change. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!
MLB
The Yankees didn't play on Tuesday night due to inclement weather, therefore the Tuesday night game was switched to a day/night doubleheader on Wednesday. The Yankees swept the entire series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Meanwhile for the Mets, they got swept by the Phillies on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Tuesday's game wasn't played for the same reasons why the Yankees game wasn't played (both are in NYC right now).
The Yankees will host the Oakland Athletics in a very tough matchup since the Athletics are currently the 4th seed in the AL Wild Card, and gave the Yankees a hard time back in July. For the Mets, they will host the Miami Marlins in a 3 game set. Although both teams are home, one series is a Postseason preview while the other are two teams that are eligible for the early rounds of the 2013 MLB Draft.
Speaking of Postseason, the Washington Nationals and the Cincinnati Reds have clinched playoff berths today.
NFL
Last night, the New York Giants traveled to Charlotte, NC to face the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football on NFL Network. The Giants blew out the Panthers, where the offense played really well, and the Giants defense made Cam Newton look like Mark Sanchez. I'm don't hate Newton or Sanchez, since I like both of them, but Newton's play last night reminded me of the 2011 Sanchez where he had to run for his life after getting the snap.
Here are the highlights:
The New York Jets will face division rival Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium (where WrestleMania 28 took place) this Sunday on CBS at 1 PM.
UFC
UFC 152 takes place this Saturday night after UFC 151 was cancelled. The scheduled main event is Jon "Bones" Jones vs Vitor Belfort. Here is a preview:
WWE
After the Night of Champions PPV, Monday Night Raw was basically the fallout from the PPV. Raw opened up with Paul Heyman talking about the ending of the PPV where the match between John Cena and CM Punk went to a draw. John Cena later came out, then it started to get ugly when Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus came out arguing about rematches. This led to AJ creating a main event where Cena and Sheamus would face Punk and Del Rio in a tag match.
After the opening promo, JBL and Jim Ross were introduced to fill in for Jerry Lawler.
I liked this week's commentary trio of Jim Ross, Michael Cole, and JBL since the duo of Cole and JBL remind me of SmackDown. Also, with the addition of Jim Ross, quality commentary has returned for one night. Overall, Raw was better than last week since everything went smoothly and no tension backstage. Here are some highlights from Raw:
It was interesting to see that the WWE is poking fun of the NFL replacement refs when they used it in a storyline at the end of Raw. Tonight on SmackDown, Edge will make a special appearance. Also, The Rated R SuperStar is now on Twitter. You can follow him at @EdgeRatedR.
That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
