On Tuesday night the New York Mets suffered a 7-6 loss against the Florida Marlins in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Tuesday’s game was the second game of a three game series, and the mets were looking for a win after Monday night when they suffered a more painful loss ending with a score of 10-3.

Jason Bay, in his first season with the Mets, hit a fly ball in the top of the first inning in order to bring in Angel Pagan. Pagan scored the first run of the game for the Mets, and during the top of the third inning the Mets were able to score two more runs making the score 3-0.

However, the Marlins put an end to their lead by scoring a total of six runs in the bottom of the third. The fourth, fifth, and sixth innings were scoreless until the Mets got another run in the top of the seventh. Finally in the top of the ninth inning the Mets rallied, and were able to put two more points on the board tying the score 6-6.

Despite the great fight by the New York Mets in the ninth inning, the Marlins proved to be unstoppable for the second night in a row. Dan Uggla hit a single, which allowed Jorge Cantu to score another one for the Marlins.

The Marlins may have won on Monday and Tuesday, but the New York Mets will have a chance to redeem themselves. The Mets will play their next and final game in this three game series against the Florida Marlins on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.

Last week on Select A Ticket, tickets to the 2011 Big East Tournament were the hottest selling tickets. This NCAA tournament will be held at Madison Square Garden where you can experience the basketball action in person from March 8-12, 2011.

The first three years of the tournament were on the road, the first being held in Providence, second in Hartford, and third in Syracuse. In 1982 the Big East Conference was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and has been located here ever since. MSG is a seemingly permanent home, and if not it will at least be held there through the 2011 Tourney.

Formed in 1979, the Big East Conference began with only seven schools. Since then, the tournament has changed a bit, and now has 16 schools from the northeast participating including West Virginia, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Villanova, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and 10 other institutions. Since 1980 when the first Big East Tournament was held it has been considered to be one of the most important conference tournaments in the United States.

The 2011 Big East Tournament will not be held for another 9 months, but it is never to early to get your tickets.

Last Wednesday it was announced that the Kansas City Royals will host the 2012 All-Star game after many years of waiting. Bud Selig, the commissioner of Major League Baseball announced that Kauffman Stadium will be home to the All Star game that be held on Tuesday July 10, 2012.

In 2006 Kansas City was promised to host an All Star game between 2010-2014, but only if a tax vote was passed in order to pay for stadium renovations. Taxpayers agreed to the $275 million dollar improvements which were completed last year. Selig stuck to his promise, and the Kauffman Stadium is now the host of the 83rd Midsummer Classic.

The 2012 All Star Game will be the Royals’ second, and the city’s third time as hosts. Selig took this into consideration, and as he made the news official through an announcement he said, ”This a special day for the Kansas City Royals organization, the local community and the great baseball fans of Kansas City.”

The 2012 All Star Game isn’t for another two years, but you can still see your favorite MLB players compete against each other in the 2010 MLB All Star game to be held on Tuesday, July 13 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.

In April the New York Jets made some odd changes during the off season which included signing a defensive player that left some Jets fans confused. Jason Taylor, a former Miami Dolphin, signed a two-year contract with the Jets after publicly badmouthing the team, and the intelligence of the fans, for many years.

Taylor was expecting the fans to be angry towards him at Wednesday’s minicamp practice at the New Meadowlands Stadium because of the comments he has made in the past. Taylor unfortunately did experience some boos from the fans, but they was short lived. By the end of practice he was high fiving fans and signing autographs. Fans even began to cheer for him, which was much appreciated by Taylor.

The 35 year old defensive linemen did not participate much in Wednesday’s practice. He underwent shoulder surgery which he is currently in the process of recovering from. The surgery certainly is limiting his ability to practice, but the fans liked him anyway.

The Jets will play their first preseason game against the New York Giants as they open up their home at the New Meadowlands Stadium together on Monday, August 16, 2010.

Last week the New York Giants announced that they will be losing one of their most essential players for whole 2010 season.

In the middle of minicamp practices last week, the team announced that Domenik Hixon suffered from an injury to his right knee during practice the day before. Hixon, the Giants’ leading punt and kickoff returner last season, endured a torn anterior cruciate ligament after hyperextending his knee.

Team physician Russell Warren made the diagnosis, and followed the injury up with an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. It was determined that within the next two weeks the five year veteran will have surgery in order to fix the torn ligament

The Giants’ reliable wide receiver was returning a punt when the injury occurred at the New Meadowlands Stadium during the teams’ first practice ever in their new home.

Although training camp does not even begin for more than five weeks the Giants are already aware of their loss, and are looking into their other options to replace Hixon for the 2010 season. The Giants will play their first preseason game against the New York Jets as the opening game for the New Meadowlands Stadium.

The New Jersey Devils announced that they have hired a new head coach. The new head coach of the franchise is John MacLean, the all time leading goal scorer for the Devils. MacLean was the player who scored the game winning goal that entered the Devils into the playoffs for their first time. He was also on the team when they won their first Stanley Cup in 1995.

The hiring of MacLean came after Lou Lamoriello, the Devils’ general manager decided he was not ready to make any alterations to the current defensive system, even though they have been struggling in the playoffs. For example, since 2003 when the Devils won their last Stanley Cup they have only been successful in winning two playoff series. That’s where the hiring of MacLean comes into play, as he knows a great deal about the system. He will replace Jacques Lemaire who coached New Jersey for one season before his unexpected retirement.

MacLean has played 18 season in the National Hockey League. He scored 347 goals for the Devils, and a total of 413 with the Sharks, Rangers, Stars, and Devils combined before retiring after the 2001-2002 season. John MacLean has been teammates with multiple current Devils players including Martin Brodeur, Brian Rolston, Partrik Elias, and two others.

The New Jersey Devils have high hopes that MacLean will help the Devils after three first-round playoff exits. Get your New Jersey Devils tickets from Select A Ticket now!

For the second consecutive year, fans of Major League Baseball are becoming interactive, and voting to select their favorite players to participate in the MLB Home Run Derby. The ballot allows fans the choose three of their favorite players from both the National and the American League to compete in the Derby. The MLB will of course have the final say in the players who are actually chosen to participate, but only after the initial fan votes are tallied.

The top 3 American League players are Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins in first place, Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers, and Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers in third.

Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies leads the National League poll, while Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals trails at second, and Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers is holding on at third. It is no surprise that Howard is at the top of the list as he won the Home Run Derby back in 2006.

Both Howard and Mauer started out with an early lead in the fan poll, and have been able to maintain it. The only question is for how long will they be able to continue gaining fan votes? The players who will actually be participating will be announced prior to the Home Run Derby.

The 81st annual MLB All-Star Game will be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2010, and the MLB Home Run Derby will be held the night before on Monday, July 12, 2010 at Angel Stadium.

The FIFA World Cup is currently taking place now, but the New York Red Bulls are still gaining attention regarding the possible addition of a new star player to their roster when the World Cup is over.

New York sports share an interesting goal, and that goal is to be on the back page of one of New York’s tabloid newspapers at least once. The Red Bulls have never really had a chance to have as big of a place in tabloid history as desired, but they seem to be making efforts in order to achieve this goal.

The Red Bulls started out by creating an ad for the back page of their own magazine, the Red Bulletin, which came free with Sunday’s edition of The New York Times. The ad states “100 Rumors. 50 Names. 1 Star,” and features a man in a Red Bulls uniform holding a soccer ball with a blurry face.

The ad is in response to rumor circulating about who the Red Bulls will sign after the World Cup. The most persistent rumor is that Thierry Henry, a French striker, will be joining the team, while others are saying that free agent Michael Ballack will be the new star player.

Once the World Cup is over, Major League Soccer will start up again, and the Red Bulls may have a new star player.

Next season’s NHL Heritage Classic will be held outdoors in Canada. Next February, Calgary’s McMahon Stadium will be the host to the Heritage Classic.

This will mark the first time since 2003 when the Montreal Canadians hosted the Edmonton Oilers that the Heritage Classic was held on Canadian soil. The NHL is making an effort to honor the great outdoor tradition, and is going back to its roots in Canada for the first time in seven years.

Next years’ game will feature two Canadian teams, which are the Montreal Canadiens against the Calgary Flames at the McMahon Stadium in Calgary. This stadium houses 35,650 fans to experience the exciting ice hockey action. However, using this stadium as a venue poses many questions.

The main question is whether or not it will be too cold for an outdoor, mid-February game in Canada. The NHL commissioner, Gary Bettman addressed this issue, and admitted that if the weather was too harsh, that the game would move indoors to the Pengrowth Saddledome. However, this is very unlikely as it has never occurred that an outdoor game must be moved to indoors.

Despite all of the doubts, the 2011 NHL Heritage Classic will be held in Canada next February, and is sure to feature an exciting matchup!

Tickets are not on sale yet, but you can sign up to be notified by Select A Ticket when NHL Heritage Classic Tickets become on sale!
