The Facts You Need For The 2015 World Series

Sports Logos

For millions of baseball fans around the world, there is nothing like October. The air is crisp and cool, sunglasses are traded out for face warmers, and the champions of Major League Baseball will be crowned. This year, the 111th World Series will be played; contested are National League champs, The New York Mets and American League victors, The Kansas City Royals.

The Royals will have home field advantage against the Mets, being the American League won the All-Star Game. The first game will be played on Tuesday Oct. 27, 2015 at Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Miss. The Royals are coming off of a win against the Toronto Blue Jays, whom they defeated 4-2 in the series. The New York Mets will be coming off of a five game winning streak after defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL divisional series game, and then sweeping the Chicago Cubs to clinch the NL title.

The New York Mets are red hot coming into the World Series. With Daniel Murphy hitting home runs in six consecutive games, breaking an MLB post season record, Royals pitchers better be ready to work. The Mets' captain David Wright, Daniel Murphy, and lead off man Curtis Granderson have been consistently getting on base for the Amazin' Mets. The Royals had fans on the edge of their seats while playing against the Blue Jays. Notable Royals players, first baseman Eric Hosmer and third baseman Mike Moustakas, led their team to victory against Toronto after six games in the series.

The first pitching match up for game one is unknown. The Royals still have not announced their rotation for the World Series games. The Mets made the announcement that they will be using Matt Harvey as their starting pitcher in game one, Jacob deGromm in game two, Noah Syndergaard in game three, and Steven Matz in game four. The rotation for Kansas City appears like it will be Yordano Ventura in game one, Johnny Cueto in game two, Edinson Volquez in game three, and Chris Young in game four.

The Mets' last World Series appearance was a defeat back in 2000 against the New York Yankees. The Royals' last World Series appearance was last season in 2014. The Royals lost the series to the San Francisco Giants. The last time the Royals won the world series was in 1985, while the Mets won their last World Series the next season in 1986 against the Boston Red Sox.

Both teams have fought tooth and nail throughout the season to make it to The World Series. The Royals are hoping to make up for last year's loss to the Giants and the Mets are hoping to win the series for the first time in 29 years.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame.

Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
