9/24/2012- Yankees def Athletics 2 out of 3, Mets sweep Marlins, NY Jets def Dolphins, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you are doing alright and had a great weekend. My weekend was bittersweet as last weekend, but even worse news. More details will be shared as you read along. Here we go!

MLB
This past weekend, the Yankees hosted the Oakland Athletics, where they won the 1st 2 games in extra innings, especially on Saturday when it appeared that all was lost. However on Sunday, the Yankees fell short of a sweep. For the Mets, they swept the Miami Marlins, the first sweep in a very long time. Even though the Mets aren't going to the postseason, the team needs to show hope to the fans for next season.

The Yankees face the Minnesota Twins in a 3 game set starting tonight on the road, while the Mets host their last home stand of the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 4 game set.

NFL
Since the Giants played on Thursday night, the New York Jets were the only NY team to play yesterday. The Jets faced the Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium in a 1 PM game on CBS. The game was, in the words of WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross, "bowling shoe ugly". Reasons being since both teams played very sloppy with the Jets playing worse in the 1st half and parts of the 3rd quarter. However, the Jets rallied back in the end of the 4th quarter, and eventually won the game in OT via field goal 23-20. Here are the highlights:



I had a hard time finding a Jets/Dolphins exclusive highlights so this will have to do. After the game, the worse news came when Cornerback Darelle Revis tore his ACL and is out for the season. This is going to be a rough patch for the Jets, and all I can say is to hope for a speedy recovery. Also, the rest of the team needs to step up now.
