Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good week this week. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!
MLB
Earlier this week, the Yankees were in Toronto to face the Blue Jays in a 3 game set. The Yankees lost the 1st game, won the 2nd game, and lost the 3rd game to lose the series. This marks the 1st time the Yankees have a lost a series against the Blue Jays this season. Meanwhile, the Mets hosted the Philadelphia Phillies in a 4 game set. The Mets lost on Monday, won on Tuesday, lost on Wednesday, and won on Thursday.
The Yankees will host the Baltimore Orioles in a 3 game set, while the Mets will be in DC to take on the Washington Nationals this weekend. This is now or never for the Yankees if they want to make a spot in the postseason.

Edit (7:24 PM): Also notable this week was the Mets trading Marlon Byrd and John Buck to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a prospect from the Minor Leagues. It was a sad day for Mets fans since Byrd was a crowd favorite this year, but it had to be done since the Pirates are attempting to get a spot in the postseason while the Mets build for the future. I guess you could say the Byrd will be the word in the Steel City.
NFL
Yesterday was the NFL Preseason Finale as players were fighting for a roster spot. The New York Jets were hosting the Philadelphia Eagles, while the New York Giants were in Foxboro, Mass to face the New England Patriots. The Jets won over the Eagles, while the Giants fell to the Patriots. Overall, the Jets finished 3-1 in the preseason, while the Giants finished 1-3. The real season will start after Labor Day weekend.
