Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week. I am getting back into the grind of sports blogging after a month off so bear with me if I make some errors since I am a bit rusty. Here we go!
+MLB
After the +New York Yankees ended their road trip with a doubleheader in Cleveland, they hosted the +Seattle Mariners for a 3 game set. The Yankees won the 1st game, but it was all downhill from there as they lost in a blowout on Wednesday and lost yesterday's game as well. Wednesday's loss was due to Phil Hughes pitching really awful, which lead to him being benched after the 1st inning, and Thursday's loss was possibly due to Andy Pettitte leaving the game early in an injury scare. According to YES Network's Meredith Marakovits, Pettitte will be placed on the DL. This weekend, the Yankees host the +Toronto Blue Jays in a 3 game set before they go on the road again.
On the other side, the New York Mets were in Busch Stadium facing the +St. Louis Cardinals in a 4 game set. The 1st 3 games St. Louis won, but the Mets managed to avoid a sweep yesterday. Earlier today, the Mets were in Wrigley Field facing off against the +Chicago Cubs in a 3 game set, and won today's game 3-2. The Mets will continue their series against the Cubs this weekend before heading back home.
+NFL
Usually I don't talk football during the offseason, but this is one of these exceptions. Earlier this week, +New York Jets quarterback David Garrard announced his retirement. Here is a clip of him explaining why he's announcing his retirement:
Although majority of the media says that the quarterback competition is down to four, theoretically it's down to Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith since Greg McElroy and Matt Simms aren't looked as starters in the long run. Even though Garrard is retiring as an active player, he doesn't rule out an offer to become a part of the Jets coaching staff heading into training camp. Let's see what goes on from here.
Also, it was reported earlier today that recently signed running back Mike Goodson was arrested for possession of drugs and firearms. According to CBSSports.com, "Goodson was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, possession of an unlawful handgun, possession of a loaded gun and possession of hollow-point rounds". The full story can be found here: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/22259895/mike-goodson-arrested-for-drug-firearm-possesion-in-new-jersey
Keep in mind, this is not the Jets fault. This is 100% Mike Goodson's fault, and he should be held accountable for his own actions. This is definitely not a good way to start his tenure with the Jets, and in my opinion, his time may be coming to an end. Once the Jets properly review the case, they could release him from his contract since they don't want to deal with his mess.
+WWE
I haven't seen a lot of WWE these past few weeks since I was busy with the end of the semester school work, but now that I have free time again I did watch Monday Night Raw. Raw was okay, but it lost me around the third hour. I'm not sure what's going on, but WWE needs to get it together and make their product more entertaining again.
The reason why I haven't talked much WWE is because I haven't really kept up with much of the shows since I was busy for a while, but once I get back into the loop there will be a proper discussion.
Also, it was announced today that WWE roster cuts have occurred. These include Briley Pierce (Dolph Ziggler's brother), Derrick Bateman, Sakamoto, Percy Watson, Anya, and Brandon Traven. Most of these guys were from WWE Developmental, thus very few are familiar with these names. However, if you watched NXT Season 2, Percy Watson was one of the "rookies" that was featured.
That's all I have to say for now. Enjoy your weekend!
