The World Series

The 2014 World Series is underway and who would have thought that the Kansas city Royals would be in the World series and who would have thought that they beat the Oakland A`s and the LA angels and win against the Baltimore Orioles and sweep all these teams.In the first game of the world series they lost to San Francisco and that was the first time they lost in the playoffs since 1985 and they won the world series that year. The other team in the world series is the San Francisco Giants and they are looking for their third world series in five years they have a lot more experience in the playoffs then Kansas City. I don't think that it will matter Kansas City came to play and they are a good team with excellent bullpen three of their pitchers have a combined ERA ( Earned Run Average ) of 0.95 which is incredible and when the Royals are leading and their bullpen comes into the game it will be a great game for the Royals management. The Royals have Incredible defense.

The giants have a 3-2 series lead going into tonight`s game number 6 in Kansas City after losing a game that the Royals needed to win now the pressure is on for the Kansas City Royals if they want to win the world series they will have to win this game at home first. But the Giants are coming off a game that has them one win away from winning the World Series and upsetting the Kansas City fans and winning their 3 World Series in 5 years. With a stellar performance from Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner who shut out the Royals 5-0. Right now the Giants have the better chance to win but i wouldn't count out the Royals because no one would have said at the beginning of the season that the Kansas City Royals would be in the World Series and have won 8 games in a row and face the Giants in a close series.

Too many injuries in pre-season?

 In the NHL pre-season there has been a lot of injuries and some belong to star players and can really hurt a team in the beginning of the regular season. There has been fans that want pre-season gone because it is pointless and their stars keep getting hurt. with some of the injuries only lasting two weeks and others are season ending injuries will the NHL think about getting rid of the pre-season or will they make it just that rookies get to play and give the star players time just to practice instead of getting hurt in games that don't matter to their standings or what they will do in the regular season. with some players not even training in the off season and they go right into playing pre-season games they have a high chance of getting hurt and possibly missing the season.








In my opinion I think that they shouldn't get rid of pre-season because even though people don't like that there teams stars are getting hurt for games that don't matter I still think that it is fun to watch the rookies get a chance to play in pro arenas and with fans cheering when they come out on the ice is a fun view and I hope that the NHL will keep the pre-season in the future and I am sure that they will keep it and I don't think that nothing will change it. I think that the only thing that could happen would be is that the teams keep their all-stars off their roster and make them train on and off the ice and just keep the rookies to play the pre-season games to make them get used to playing in front of lots of fans and the high pace speed of playing in the NHL. Another thing that rookies have to endure is to have the mental toughness and physical toughness to play in the NHL with all the hits to take and to deal with the fans and the pressure of the media after every game asking hard questions and to deal with the social media hearing about how the fans will have tons of hate towards how you play. so I think that the NHL should not keep the pre-season but i don't think that it will change.
