Postseason/ World Series

Provided by Google

      Right now in the baseball world, the postseason is in full swing. Last week was the final week of 2015 regular season baseball. The postseason is for the teams who come out on the top in their leagues. The first round is the team who came in first for their league and the wild card winner. The wild card winner comes down to the second and third place teams and they play one game and that one game determines if they go on to the first round. After the first round, the second round is the NLCS and the winners from that will play in the World Series. It will be the National league vs the American league in a seven game series. Whoever wins that series is the World Series champion.

     Many baseball fans look forward to the month of October the most because that is when the World Series is held. It can be the best month ever or the most depressing month. For my dad and I, it is the most depressing because the Yankees were knocked out in the wild card game. For my mom, it is the best month ever because the Cubs are dominating in the first round right now.

     For the 2015 postseason the National league is made up of; The New York Mets, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago Cubs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The American league is made up of; the Kansas City Royals, Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Texas Rangers. These teams have all
had their up's and down's throughout the year, but the reason that they are here is because these teams have come through in clutch positions. If you break under pressure, you won't even get a whiff of the post season.

     Every year in the month of October there is the World Series, just like there is a Super Bowl, the NCAA Final Four, the Masters, etc. The World Series is for the die hard baseball fans that support their team constantly no matter what. Take the Cubs fans for example, the Cubs have done poorly for as long as I can remember, and now they are doing great! The fans that stuck through that rut are the die hard fans. The postseason is when the teams really need to come through and perform their best and use all of the changes they have made through the season. The World Series is the most exciting time in baseball, it is what everyone works toward.
