Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great weekend. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!
MLB
During the weekend, the Yankees hosted the Detroit Tigers in a 3 game set. On Friday, the Yankees won, but not without some controversy as Yankees closer Mariano Rivera blew a 2 run lead. Luckily, the Yankees answered back when Brett Gardner had a walk off single to win in the bottom of the 9th. Saturday, they took a predictable loss, but Sunday was the win where it garnered headlines as A-Rod hit his 1st home run of 2013, Alfonso Soriano achieved his 2000th hit, Rivera blew a save for the 3rd straight time, and Gardner hit a solo HR to win in the bottom of the 9th. This was the first time the Yankees won a series since early July.
Meanwhile for the Mets, they were in Phoenix to face the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 3 game set. The Mets lost the 1st game, but won the next 2 games to win the series. Here are notable highlights from the series:
This week it'll be a New York vs. Los Angeles matchup for both teams as the Yankees will host the Angels in a 4 game set, while the Mets will be in Los Angeles to face the Dodgers in a 3 game set.
NFL
This past Friday, the New York Jets were in Detroit to face the Detroit Lions in the 1st preseason game of 2013. What's notable about this series is the quarterback competition between Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith. Sanchez got the start in the 1st quarter. Early on, Sanchez made a hiccup as he threw an interception returned for a touchdown. However, there was no reason to be sad as he made up the bad play by throwing a TD pass to Jeff Cumberland near the end of the 1st quarter. Geno Smith would enter the 2nd quarter and make some plays that were mostly conservative play calls. The unfortunate thing was that Geno's night was cut short due to an ankle sprain. Greg McElroy came in relief to finish the series and the game. The Jets lost the game 26-17.

The following night, the New York Giants were in Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. The Giants won the game 18-13 in an snoozefest:
