7/26/2013- Yankees/Texas split series, Mets/Braves split series, NFL Training Camp, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week! As you all know, NFL Training Camp is underway, and that means preseason is coming soon. More will be talked about as you read along. Here we go!

MLB
During the week, the Yankees were in Arlington, Texas to face the Texas Rangers in a 4 game set. The Yankees lost the 1st game due to fatigue, won the 2nd game, lost the 3rd game, and got a shutout win in the 4th game. Meanwhile, for the Mets, they hosted the Atlanta Braves in a 4 game set. The Mets lost the 1st game, won the 2nd game, lost in a blowout in the 3rd, and won the 4th game.

The Yankees will host the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend, before they head out to the west coast. One thing notable is that the Yankees have brought back Alfonso Soriano in a trade from the Cubs in exchange for a prospect. According to YES Network's Jack Curry, Soriano will wear #12. That means that Vernon Wells will switch to #22. For the Mets, they are in the DC area to take on the Washington Nationals in a 4 game set. The Mets won today in a 11-0 shutout against the Nationals in the 1st game in the day/night doubleheader. They will continue their series against the Nationals this weekend.

WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the fallout from the announcement of John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan at Summerslam. Raw kicked off with Brad Maddox hosting the contract signing of Cena vs. Bryan, as well as announcing that Daniel Bryan will be in a gauntlet match during the main event. What's notable about this edition of Raw, was the match between Daniel Bryan and Antonio Cesaro. Fans, such as myself were praising the match since it reminded me of ROH Wrestling. What's also notable was a wardrobe malfunction that occurred during a segment where the cast of Total Divas was on Miz TV. The malfunction happened to be from Brie Bella, which led to WWE making her issue an apology on Twitter for "the incident". If you're asking for photos, don't even think about it. You won't see it here. Google it if you're that curious. Anyways, here are the highlights from Raw:











UFC
Tomorrow night is UFC on FOX 8: Johnson vs. Moraga. Here is a preview of the event that will take place tomorrow:



NFL
As you all know, the NFL season is just around the corner as training camp officially kicks off. Prior to training camp, the New York Jets re-signed Braylon Edwards to a 1-year deal. What's notable about the Jets training camp is the quarterback competition between incumbent Mark Sanchez, and 2nd round pick Geno Smith. As for the Giants training camp, this will be the year where the Giants will have it in East Rutherford, NJ instead of Albany, NY.

I don't have any highlights from either camp, but I suggest watching Geico SportsNite on SNY to watch the highlights from both camps.

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
