Putting DIY funerals on NZ's radar
Relevant offers
Two men have made it their mission to spread the acceptance of DIY funerals, and to aid those who choose to go that way.
They are Philip Tomlinson of Timaru and Paul Briggs of Nelson.
The pair are in open rebellion against the funeral industry because both feel the New Zealand funeral industry has become too commercialised and demands too much money from families.
Tomlinson, a retired mathematician, has even published a book on the subject, Arranging a Funeral, to give people some pointers on doing it themselves.
Tomlinson warns it would be a big ask for someone to just pick up his book after a death and begin organising the funeral, though it has been done.
Instead, both Tomlinson and Briggs insist the key to DIY send-offs is pre-preparation, especially as there will be risk-averse family members who will insist a funeral is not cobbled together.
"Unless preparations have been put together, a funeral director is almost certainly rung," Tomlinson says.
Broadly speaking, there are seven key areas that need to be done to organise a funeral.
These are:
1. The interim care of the deceased.
2. Completing the legal paperwork.
3. Transporting the deceased.
4. Informing the community of the death.
5. Acquiring a coffin.
6. Organising the burial, or cremation.
7. Organising the funeral service.
Only the first, and possibly the third, areas present any real difficulties.
Cremations and burials can be arranged directly once the paperwork is done, and do not require a funeral director. Death notices can be placed in newspapers without aid. A hall, church or other reception place can be arranged, catering planned, flowers ordered.
To achieve these things just requires organisation and a little knowledge, and that, says Briggs, is not something you want to be learning when there's a body in the bedroom.
"Very few people do want to think about it or do any planning, so when a death happens they are totally unprepared," says Briggs, who was prompted into his stance after his father's funeral, which felt totally out of keeping with the man. With the stress and grief, it is a terrible time to be thinking about DIY.
He says it is entirely possible for professional funeral directors to do as little as 20 per cent of the work in the funeral process - picking up the deceased and storing them in preparation for the burial or cremation. The family can do the rest.
Some funeral directors may be resistant to being hired to do so little, Briggs says, and they may even try to insist that people pay a "minimum" package price for the service that's the same as their no frills cremation package, sometimes in the region of $2500.
Negotiating may be hard, and both Tomlinson and Briggs say they have had "wrestles" with funeral directors to get what they consider to be fair and transparent pricing.
Some families even prefer to store and transport their loved ones' bodies themselves, though Tomlinson cautions care both in regards to the dignity of the deceased, as well as the risk to the backs of those lifting bodies which are quite literally dead weights.
Dealing with dead bodies is something our society has made unfamiliar to most of us, says Tomlinson, but it is entirely possible. However, how hot the weather is and the length of time until the deceased is buried or cremated are both factors that need to be considered. Some keen DIYers even buy dry ice to help keep bodies cool, Tomlinson says, removing the need for contracting a funeral director to store the body.
A possible hitch to managing a body is it can be hard to organise a coffin in a short space of time as not all funeral directors may be happy to sell you a casket on its own, Tomlinson says.
If a casket can can be bought in advance - and the internet makes sourcing one easier - a great deal of pressure is taken off the DIY funeral arranger. Once a body is in a coffin, it is easier to manage.
Tomlinson says the cost of a traditional funeral is a big burden for many families, and prices of $8000 to $10,000 seem relatively common.
And he bridles at some of the things that have come to be seen as normal, such as the standard practice to burn or immediately bury an immaculately finished expensive coffin.
People may think that is a fitting way to show respect for the dead, and if that is people's choice, so be it, says Tomlinson. But for others a home-made MDF coffin, on which loved ones have written and drawn messages and tributes to the dead may be an equally valid choice.
Similarly, Tomlinson believes much of the embalming that is done before burials is unnecessary, and just adds to costs.
Both however warn that people who wish to do things themselves may find hurdles in the way.
Tomlinson says he's fought with funeral directors to get quotes for the provision of limited services such as body collection and storage.
Crematoria may even try to insist only funeral directors can arrange cremations. But Tomlinson says you can insist that you are a funeral director and legally so. If need be, quote from the Internal Affairs brochure, "A funeral director means a person whose business is or includes the burial and/or cremation of bodies."
Why people do funerals themselves, according to Philip Tomlinson in his book Arranging a Funeral:
You may be disenchanted by the social pressure to purchase a "standard funeral".
You may feel the obligation to "present" an entertainment-oriented funeral while carrying grief is an awful ordeal.
You may feel professional services are inordinately expensive or even unaffordable.
You may find that purchasing a full funeral package, in which everything is done for you, leaves you "wringing your hands", wanting to do something.

GRANT THORNTON has signed a binding agreement to acquire a personal insolvency division of RSM Tenon.
The top five firm is expected to pay about £7m for the Individual Voluntary Arrangment (IVA) factory, based in Manchester, with the deal to occur on or before 5 October.
The standalone IVA factory employs about 60 staff. However, a spokesman for Grant Thornton could not confirm whether or not there would be redundancies, because final discussions were ongoing.
The stand-alone outfit generated revenues of about £5m for the year ended 30 June 2012.
Partner and head of the IVA practice at Grant Thornton Mark Allen (pictured) said: "Grant Thornton has considerable experience of the assimilation of such IVA portfolios and consideration for our current and new clients is foremost in our minds.
"It is our aim to make this process as smooth as possible and we look forward to dealing with each and every one of our new clients and welcome them all to our organisation."
RSM Tenon IVA customers will receive a letter from Grant Thornton later this year outlining any changes.
IVAs are a personal insolvency process, which allows a practitioner to consolidate and reduce a person's debt, then arrange and supervise repayments over a contracted period of time – usually five years.

The Office of Management and Budget today named four agencies to
provide services to certify and accredit computer systems to assist
agencies across government to fulfill federal information security
requirements. As shared service centers, the agencies would
aim to conduct certification and accreditation (C&A) activities
more effectively than agencies currently do themselves because they
will deliver the services across multiple agencies using best practices
under the Information Systems Security Line of Business, said Karen
Evans, OMB's administrator for e-government and information technology,
in a briefing with reporters.
The Federal Information
Security Management Act requires agencies to certify and accredit that
their computer systems are secure or that they are managing risk. The
four agencies selected as shared service centers are: the Treasury
Department's Bureau of Public Debt; the Interior Department's National
Business Center; the Transportation Department's Federal Aviation
Administration Enterprise Service Center, and the Justice Department.
The agencies have improved the analysis and assembling of the
documentation associated with certification and accreditation to
overcome some of the criticism by security experts that C&A is a
compliance exercise and doesn't truly measure risk, Evans said. OMB
said it established the security LOB, which the Homeland Security
Department manages, to promote improved, consistent and measurable
information security processes and controls across government and to
gain savings or cost-avoidance through reduced duplication and greater
economies of scale.

What??FAA to C&A...Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They don't even come under the Clinger-Cohen Act nor does FAA test in an operational state. They use a NIST check list.OMG. FAA needs to be overhauled with their poor management and hidden agenda. Please look at this agency for curruption as well. Get them back under Title 5 and make them comply with other government agencies. They do not do this with C&A. This is down right scary.

Telethon for Kenny Rogers center to be this weekend
SIKESTON, Mo. -- All of the Kenny Rogers Children's Center's stars -- its therapists and the children they serve -- will be out in full force this weekend during the annual telethon.
Set for Saturday and Sunday at the Sikeston Field House, the 32nd annual telethon will have a new theme this year, "Under the Bigtop."
"It's a carnival theme, and the telethon is geared toward that. We'll have games, snow cones, bounce house and pony rides and all kinds of fun things," said Christy O'Neal, who works in marketing for the center.
O'Neal said there will even be an opportunity for children to make cotton candy during the carnival, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
One of the busiest events of the weekend is the silent auction, which raised close to $20,000 last year.
"That was the absolute largest silent auction we've ever had. We would love to do that again this year," O'Neal said.
More than 250 items were collected for the silent auction, which ends at 2 p.m. Sunday. Packages that will be available include trips to St. Louis, Memphis, Tenn., and Nashville, Tenn., as well as round-trip airline tickets.
The third annual 5K run begins at 9 a.m. Saturday with a one-mile walk and youth and toddler race taking place at 8:30 a.m.
"Every year, we get additional runners the day of the event," O'Neal said, adding last year there were between 75 and 100 participants.
The dog show set for noon Saturday also makes a return this year with new categories, O'Neal said.
One of the telethon's new events this year is the Zumbathon. Set for 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, the Zumbathon is a marathon based on the Latin-inspired dance exercise.
"Zumba is a hot thing at the YMCA, and they've done a Zumbathon before. This was a good event to try out this year for us," O'Neal said. "We have quite a few registered."
The goal is to fill the Sikeston High School football field with participants, O'Neal said, adding the event will be led by instructors from the YMCA of Southeast Missouri and Midwest Gymnastics in Sikeston.
A blood drive by the American Red Cross will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Another returning event is the Telethon Idol singing competition, which begins at 7 p.m. Saturday with 29 contestants. This year it will be broken into a junior division and adult division, O'Neal said.
The telethon wraps up at 4 p.m. Sunday.
This year's fundraising goal is $400,000, O'Neal said.

Freshman OL Christian Morris to transfer
Freshman offensive lineman Christian Morris, who came into fall camp out of shape and looked on track to redshirt this season, has decided to transfer from UCLA.
Morris came to Westwood as one of the Bruins' highest-rated freshman offensive linemen, a universal four-star to every major recruiting service. But he quickly fell behind his fellow classmates, due to his conditioning, and faced a clear uphill battle with UCLA's growing depth up front.
Homesickness, according to the original report from Rivals.com, was also an issue. Morris is likely to transfer to Ole Miss -- which was UCLA's main competition in his recruitment -- in order to be closer to his sick grandmother and the rest of his family, who reside in Tennessee.
"I had this homesick and unhappy feeling," Morris told Rivals.com. "And it lasted all the way until now."
"I respect everything, everything that UCLA does, man. The coaching staff, man, they care about you as a person and not just a player … Coach (Jim) Mora really cared about me as a person. The players there, I respect just everything about UCLA. UCLA, man, it's just a great place and they're on the rise of doing something great."

Ditto... re: GS Solo!
It is superb with the Senns!
Loved the one I had with my Senns... but... it was not great with my low impedence phones (e.g. Grados, etc.). The SRGII and Ultralinear are reportedly better with low impedence phones than prior Solos.
If Senns were the phones I was going to drive... I would get the Solo SRGII, or Ultralinear... without question.Return HomeBack to Forum: Headphone Amps (full-size)

Looking after Mum's money.<br />
Dear Liz, My mother is elderly lady, has dementia and lives in a care home. Until recently she managed her own affairs and her care home fees were paid by direct debit from her current account which was topped up from her savings account as required. During a visit to her local branch of the Natwest in July 2009 the bank clerk decided she wasn't capable of managing her accounts and froze them. An Enduring Power of Attorney was in existence giving me, my brother and my mother's husband the power to manage her affairs but it turned out to be invalid following the death of her husband. We've been left in the very tricky position of having to apply for a new Lasting Power of Attorney so that my brother and I can manage our mother's accounts but that will take some time to come through and in the meantime her bank accounts are frozen and charges are being added. AW.
Dear AW, I know from the correspondence we've had since you first got in touch that your mother's care home fees are still being paid although other transactions have stopped. This has proved to be a complicated case. While your mother has dementia she was capable of running her own affairs but occasionally got confused, as she did on her visit to the bank. All bank staff are trained to be on the look out for situations in which they feel their customers' money may be at risk. The bank assures me that the decision to suspend some activity on your mother's accounts was not taken by the clerk in the branch that day but that she did report her concerns about your mother's mental capacity and the bank feels that it acted in your mother's best interests. The British Bankers Association – the trade association for the banks says "banks will need to consider the consequences of not taking action to protect the customer as well as considering what will happen if they do. It can be a very delicately balanced decision to make".
Following the visit to the bank at which the clerk became concerned you were asked to produce the existing Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA). As you discovered it was invalid. Had it been drawn up differently it would have given you and your brother the right to operate your mother's account on her behalf and everything should have carried on smoothly. But the EPA had been drawn up in such a way that the death of one of the people named on it – in this case your mother's husband – rendered it invalid so the bank couldn't accept it. You and your brother now need a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in order to operate you mother's account. LPAs replaced Enduring Power of Attorney two years ago for new applicants but anyone who already has a valid EPA doesn't need to reapply.
If someone believes or worries that at some point they will become incapable of making major decisions, including running their bank account, they might want to think about setting up an LPA which allows someone they trust to make decision for them. The LPA is a very powerful tool and can cover decisions about healthcare and welfare as well as money and property so it's advisable to have the help of a solicitor with experience of LPAs to help you draw one up. Depending on the content of the LPA, it can either take effect straight away or at a point in the future when you're unable to handle your affairs. It needs to be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can come into effect. LPAs are complicated and quite expensive so don't leave it to an amateur to help you. Get specialist advice.
In this particular case I know that an LPA has now been applied for and should be through in a few weeks. At that point the bank will be legally obliged to unfreeze your mother's account. In the meantime I've been talking to the bank and have been assured that the care home fees will go on being paid: "We take the security of customers' accounts extremely seriously, and if we have any reason to believe that a customer's assets could be compromised, we will take steps to safeguard them. We are now actively working with Mrs Walker and her sons to ensure the account is managed effectively and securely. We can reassure Mrs Walker and her sons that this has not at any time impacted her care home payments or the interest she receives on her account."
Other problems with your mother's bank accounts have now been resolved too. No funds were being transferred from the savings account to the current account to cover the care homes fees – and the current account was in overdraft, attracting charges of £15 a day. The bank wasn't accepting payments into your mother's account either and one of her monthly pension funds stopped paying her until the situation was resolved. The good news is that the bank told me this week that charges will be refunded to the account and that they are negotiating with third parties to reinstate her payments.

2015 MLB Award Season to Begin Next Week
We're less than a week removed from the 2015 World Series, but offseason moves are already taking place. On Thursday, news broke that the Rays and Mariners had completed a six-player trade that sent Nathan Karns, C.J. Riefenhauser and Boog Powell (not THAT Boog Powell) to Seattle in exchange for Brad Miller, Logan Morrison and Danny Farquhar. Overall, it appears to be a good trade for both sides.
But while there are sure to be dozens of deals made throughout the upcoming offseason, that's not what this blog post is for.
In this post, I'm going to give a very brief overview of the upcoming MLB awards schedule, which are going to begin being announced on Monday night with the 2015 Players' Choice Awards at eight on MLB Network. I'm going to be covering the winners of those in a post following the announcement, with my thoughts on each winner.
The very next night, the BBWAA award finalists for Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and MVP are going to be announced (on MLB Network), in addition to the Gold Glove Award winners (on ESPN). Again, I'll be sure to typed up a little something about those, as with every other award that gets announced.
Following the Silver Slugger Award winners on the 12th, the most important BBWAA award winners are set to be revealed on consecutive nights throughout the next week. Beginning with Rookies of the Year on Monday the 16th, followed by the Cy Young Awards on Tuesday, Managers of the Year on Wednesday (I won't be writing about those), and ending with the coveted MVP awards on Thursday the 19th, it's sure to be interesting to see if they all match up with my predictions I made for each winner.
So, there you have it — an overview of the upcoming MLB Awards. With so much talent this year in baseball, it's sure to make for a good crop of winners from each and every category of awards throughout the coming two weeks.
Royals Win 2015 World Series in Five
After losing games one and two of the World Series started by Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom, respectively, the Mets had reason for concern heading into game three of the World Series on Friday night. But as I stated at the end of my previous post, they had Noah Syndergaard on the mound for the game, and with him having been great all season long, they still had reason to hold out hope of a series comeback. They simply had to score enough runs to beat out the Royals and Yordano Ventura, who was sure to be equally terrific.
But it appeared to be more of the same for the Mets when the game started. An Eric Hosmer RBI-groundout in the very first inning struck a blow to the Mets before they even had a chance to swing the bats. But the Mets wasted no time in answering back. In the bottom half of the same inning, David Wright blasted a two-run homer to give the Mets a 2-1 lead early on, and provided some needed positivity to the club.
However, the Mets didn't hold the lead for long. In the top of the second, an RBI-single by Alex Rios and a passed ball by Syndergaard with a man on third gave the Royals a one run lead once again. Even so, Syndergaard helped his own cause by getting a leadoff single in the third inning — the youngest pitcher with a World Series hit since Dwight Gooden in 1986 — which he was well rewarded for. The very next batter, Curtis Granderson, hit a line-drive homer that cleared the right field wall by just a few feet, making the score 4-3, Mets.
From the second inning on, Syndergaard lived up to his nickname of "Thor". He was magnificent, retiring ten straight at one point. The Mets also helped him out, scoring another run in the bottom of the fourth, coming via a Michael Conforto ground ball to first base that lead to confusion between the second baseman, Ben Zobrtist, and Eric Hosmer. Ultimately, Conforto chugged his way safely to first, and the run scored without a play.
A little history was made in the bottom of the fifth inning, when Raul Mondesi Jr. made his major league debut against Syndergaard. Although he struck out, Mondesi became the first player in the entire history of Major League Baseball to make his big league debut during the Fall Classic. That's certainly impressive.
Also impressive was the Mets' resurgence of a run-scoring machine. While the Royals didn't score again after the second, the Mets posted another four runs in the sixth inning, coming from contributions from Juan Uribe, David Wright (who had four RBI's on the game) and Yoenis Cespedes. The Mets held a 9-3 lead when the inning concluded, and that's where things would wind up as the final score.
With game four now being a game in which the Mets were simply looking to tie things up and not worrying about being eliminated, you had to figure they could be a bit more relaxed and therefore able to perform much as they did in game three. It was sure to be a fun game.
Steven Matz — the second rookie on the mound for the Mets in back-to-back games — was on the mound in game four, opposed by the Royals' Chris Young. Matz and Young are two completely different kind of pitchers, so it was fun to watch how each went about trying to get the other team out.
Early on for the Mets' side of things, it was a rookie show. Steven Matz lead off with a couple of scoreless innings, and Michael Conforto kicked off the third inning with a homer (the youngest players since Miguel Cabrera in 2003 to hit a World Series homer) off of Chris Young, who had been equally good to that point in the game. Wilmer Flores followed up with a fall-in single, and later advanced to second on a wild pitch and third on a terrific sacrifice bunt by Matz. Then, the unbelievable happened.
Curtis Granderson lifted a fly ball into right field which was easily caught by Alex Rios. But Rios forgot how many outs there were, and took a step or two towards the infield before realizing it was only the second out of the inning. Although it was going to be a close play anyhow, it took away any shot at nailing Flores at the plate. That simply can't happen — not in the World Series. But it did, giving the Mets a 2-0 lead.
The Royals would answer back in the fifth, scoring a single run via an Alex Gordon RBI-single. But despite that run, Matz was still able to pitch well to get out of the inning. His opposer, Chris Young, was removed after the fourth inning, and replaced by Danny Duffy. But Duffy promptly allowed yet another home run to Conforto, who became the only Mets player other than Gary Carter to hit two homers in a Fall Classic game. Things were looking good for the Mets.
Ben Zobrist lead off the sixth inning with his eighth double of the postseason, getting things started against Matz, who many people were shocked was still in the game. As a result, the next batter, Lorenzo Cain, knocked a ball up the middle that scored Zobrist and made it a 3-2 game with no outs. Matz was promptly removed, replaced by Jonathan Niese, and the potential further damage was contained.
That is, until the eighth inning, when the Royals took the lead an never looked back. Daniel Murphy committed an untimely error on an Eric Hosmer ground ball, which allowed Ben Zobrist to score. Singles by Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez plated two more and put Kansas City up by two runs, 5-3, which is where the game concluded after a failed attempt at a comeback for the Mets.
This isn't the way many baseball fans envisioned things going at all. The Royals are a good team, but to win games going up against Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Steven Matz is absolutely amazing. Sitting one win away from a World Series title, you knew they were sure to be on their game in Sunday's game five potential elimination game. But going up against Harvey yet again, you had to figure it was going to be a challenge.
While the story of the game on Sunday was predicted to be Matt Harvey either keeping the Mets alive or not, it began with Curtis Granderson. As the first batter of the game, Granderson hit a homer off of Edinson Volquez to give the Mets a 1-0 lead and an extremely early spark.
Harvey struck out the side in the fourth — the second Mets pitcher (Tom Seaver being the other) to strike out the side in order in a World Series game — and was looking completely locked in, and much more like the All-Star version of Harvey that baseball fans had come to know, going on to strike out eight through the first five. Even so, despite the flaw in the first, Volquez was just as good to lead things off. With both pitchers totally dialed it, you had to figure that this was going to be one of the best games thus far.
The score remained the same through the sixth inning, when Curtis Granderson, David Wright and Daniel Murphy all lead off the inning with a walk, hit and error, respectively. The next batter, Yoenis Cespedes, looked to cash in with the bases loaded and nobody out, but he fouled an 0-1 pitch off of his left kneecap, and appeared to be headed for the clubhouse. But he stayed in the ballgame, only to pop out before limping off the field. Following Cespedes was Lucas Duda, who came through with a sac fly that plated Granderson to increase the lead to 2-0.
That's where things would stay through the top of the ninth inning, when the Mets were faced with a huge decision: leave Harvey in after 102 pitches, or bring in the closer, Jeurys Familia, who had blown two saves through this point in the World Series, in game one and game four. After all, if Familia had closed out those games, the Mets would have been sitting three outs away from a World Championship. You simply had to leave Harvey in to finish what he started.
And the Mets did just that. After declaring that there was "no way I'm leaving this game" to manager Terry Collins, Harvey took the hill looking to shut things down in the final inning. However, he appeared a bit too amped up to start with, walking the leadoff man, Lorenzo Cain, and overthrowing some of his pitches. Cain proceeded to steal second, and was knocked in by an RBI-double from Eric Hosmer. Harvey was promptly removed, but no matter what, it was the right call under the situation.
Nonetheless, the Royals, who hold the playoff record for six postseason multi-run comebacks, were now just a well placed hit away from tying the game. Familia was brought in to be the potential hero of game five, which would ultimately make up for his previous subpar pitching. But he wouldn't complete the game. An errant throw by Lucas Duda to home plate after a groundout by Salvador Perez allowed Hosmer to tie the game at 2-2, and made for Familia's third blown save of the Fall Classic — the most in baseball history.
The score remained tied through the twelfth, when everything completely fell apart for the Mets. What began as a simple RBI-pinch-hit-single from Christian Colon, putting the Royals up a mere run, turned into a blowout. Christian Colon would eventually score, along with three more runs via a Lorenzo Cain double that scored three runs with the bases loaded.
With the Mets down 7-2 heading into the bottom of the twelfth, you had to figure they stood little chance of a comeback, especially facing the hard throwing Wade Davis. Ultimately, Davis would strike out three, putting an exclamation point on the Royals' season, and making them 2015 World Series Champions.
My hat certainly goes off to the Royals. I, admittedly, was pulling for the Mets to win, simply because I'm a big Matt Harvey fan and because I wanted to see the season be continued a couple more games out in Kansas City. But you got the feeling back when the Royals rallied to win and advance against the Astros in the ALDS that this was a team that wouldn't stop until they were declared World Champions as quickly as possible.
This is the Royals' first World Series crown since back in 1985. After making it to game seven of the Fall Classic in 2014, only to lose to the Giants, this is obvious redemption for that year. Salvador Perez, for his many contributions on multiple levels, was named MVP of the series, which was completely deserved. He was a big part of what made this Royals team so magical.
Heading forward, offseason transactions will ultimately happen. This Royals club that won the World Series will inevitably not be the exact team that takes the field on Opening Day in 2016. But there's one thing you can guarantee: the Royals will still have a very competitive team with all sights on returning to the World Series next season and beyond.
Royals Up Two Games Heading to New York City
The World Series is always an exciting time of the year for any baseball fan, no matter who you're rooting for. With both teams having fought all season long, neither wants to give an inch in their quest for the title, and players from both sides usually step up in a big way for their respective teams. With that said, I'm not sure anyone could've predicted such a game as the one that took place on Tuesday night.
Matt Harvey received the start for the Mets, going up against the Royals' Edison Volquez. Although you had to figure Harvey would be on top of his game, things didn't start off that well for him. On the very first pitch of the game, Alcides Escobar drove a ball deep into the outfield, which Yoenis Cespedes was unsuccessful in tracking down. When all was said and done, Escobar had score with the twelfth inside the park homer in World Series history, and the first since 1929. Just like that, it was 1-0, Royals.
Neither team would score again until the fourth inning, as Volquez was able to match Harvey pitch for pitch to begin the game. But an RBI-single in the fourth by Travis d'Arnaud, followed by a Curtis Granderson homer in the fifth and a sacrifice fly by Michael Conforto in the sixth, made it a 3-1 Mets lead. It appeared they were starting to put the game away, especially with Harvey on the hill.
But just as quickly as they took the two-run lead, they lost it in the very next set of swings for the Royals. In the bottom of the sixth, a couple of timely hits tied the game up at three apiece and made it a new ballgame. Even so, the Mets were able to take the late lead in the eighth on a fielding error, putting them up by a run heading into the bottom of the ninth.
However, as history has shown, nothing is over until it's over in the World Series. With one out in the bottom of the ninth against the Mets' Jeurys Familia, Alex Gordon blasted a solo shot into deep center field to send the game to extra innings.
Due to outstanding relief work by both squads, the game would remain tied all the way until the fourteenth inning, when the Royals ultimately won with an Eric Hosmer sac fly that brought home the go ahead run to put the Royals up 1-0 in the seven game series.
After the longest game one in World Series history, you got the feeling that the entire Fall Classic would turn out to be much of the same.
The five hour and nine minute game one gave fans tons of excitement, as the back and forth lead changing between the two clubs made for a thrilling ballgame. With Jacob deGrom set to go against Johnny Cueto the very next game, things were sure to heat up in game two.
But while the expectation was a pitching duel for the second game of the World Series, it was Johnny Cueto stealing the show. With deGrom not being able to throw the ball past people the way he has in his previous starts, he struggled in this game overall, but Cueto settled in and really impressed a lot of people.
Although Cueto allowed the game's first run in the fourth inning, coming from a contribution from Lucas Duda — he had been performing poorly throughout the playoffs until that point — Cueto really pitched well. Cueto wouldn't allow another run in the game.
Jacob deGrom looked decent to start the game, but the wheels completely fell off in the fifth inning. RBI-singles from Alcides Escobar, Eric Hosmer (two RBI's) and Mike Moustakas put the Royals up 4-1, and really gave them momentum with Cueto pitching the way he was (a complete game two-hitter). In the end, the Mets couldn't mount a comeback and fell down two games to none in the series.
With the Royals up two games heading into game three in New York City on Friday, the Mets certainly have their backs against the wall. However, despite their poor odds, with Noah Syndergaard ready to pitch in game three and Steven Matz on the mound the next night, if the Mets can win at least one of those games, everything changes. Forcing at least a game five, the Mets would once again get Matt Harvey, then Jacob deGrom if they can extend it. Anything can happen after that.
This World Series is far from over.
Royals — Mets: World Series Predictions
I love making predictions. I'm absolutely no good at it (I picked the Blue Jays and Dodgers to be in the World Series), but I enjoy the process that goes into it, nonetheless. With that said, it is really difficult to predict a winner between the Mets and Royals for who I feel will win the 2015 World Series. They both have strengths and weaknesses, but in the end it'll come down to which players can come through most in big spots, and that has proven time and time again to be unpredictable.
No matter what, with the Mets having not won a World Series since Bill Buckner's infamous error in 1986, and the Royals experiencing a drought since 1985, history is guaranteed to be made for one of them sometime in the next couple of weeks.
The Mets have announced that their starting rotation is going to be Matt Harvey pitching game one, followed by Jacob deGrom (game two), Noah Syndergaard (game three) and Steven Matz (game four). Obviously, if the series goes beyond a fourth game (something that's pretty sure to happen) then the rotation would simply begin again, with Harvey, deGrom, etc.
On the other side of the coin, the Royals haven't yet announced their official starting rotation. There's a lot of speculation as to whether Yordano Ventura or Edinson Volquez will get the ball in game one, with the other getting it for game two. It is also unknown whether game three would go to Chris Young or Johnny Cueto. With so much uncertainty, it's difficult to try to predict games by looking at pitcher-pitcher matchups.
Even so, I feel like no matter who is going up against Matt Harvey, game one is likely to go to the Mets. Harvey has been great so far this postseason, and will likely even take things up a notch with it being the World Series. Going into game two, as with Harvey, anyone who matches up against deGrom is likely going to have a tough time. Although the Royals admittedly stand a better chance against deGrom than Harvey, I think the series will head back to New York for game three with the Mets up two games to zero.
Game three is where I see things turning a bit. Syndergaard has been great and is an unbelievable pitcher, but I think the Royals will get to him and win by a run or two. I see the same happening on the next night against Steven Matz. Another rookie, Matz has had a good year, but I feel the Royals will be able to tie things up at two games apiece.
I think the Mets will take the final game before heading back to Kansas City, as Harvey will be on the mound again. If they in fact have lost their first two games at home, I don't see them allowing themselves to get swept the full three games.
Back at Kauffman Stadium, I predict the Mets will waste no time in taking the championship. Having Jacob deGrom on the mound is always a good thing, and he will inevitably pitch a good enough game to win the New York Mets the 2015 World Series.
But that's all purely speculation, and just the way I see things unfolding. Whether or not the Mets win the Fall Classic is yet to be seen. But one thing is for sure: neither team will go down without a fight.
Evaluating My Postseason "Predictions" Two Weeks In
If you're anything like me, your postseason predictions are likely already blown apart.
At this point, of the four teams still remaining, I only picked two of them correctly. With the Royals taking on the Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series, I successfully selected them to match up, but failed with my prediction of the Cardinals and Dodgers squaring off in the National League Division Series (it's the Mets and Cubs instead).
With no correct picks from the National League side at this point, there's obviously no chance at having correctly picked the World Series matchup as I did in 2014.
It's going to be the Cubs or Mets taking on the Royals or Blue Jays. However, it seems like it'll be a Mets-Royals World Series, unlike the way I foresaw things with the Blue Jays and Dodgers in the Fall Classic.
Even so, it's sure to be an exciting World Series. If it does in fact end up being the Mets and Royals, there are sure to be some terrific matchups. The Mets are better on paper, especially with their pitching staff, but Kansas City plays its own version of good baseball, and they could wind up doing the one thing they fell one win shy of in 2014: winning the World Series.
Recap of My Votes for the 2015 MLB Major Awards
Over the past week, or so, I've been typing up individual posts on who I feel most deserves the awards of American League and National League Rookie of the Year, Cy Young and Most Valuable Player. I was planning to post the awards for each on back to back days, with a day in between, but I decided to publish them on six consecutive days instead.
Some of the choices were easy, while others took a great deal of debate. But in the end, I went with my gut of who I feel deserves each award the most.
In case you missed a few (or all) of my Major League Baseball award posts, I wanted to do a brief recap. Although there are a couple of picks that people will likely disagree with, this is just the way I would vote if my vote had any say.
Here are my picks that I made for each category:
American League Rookie of the Year: Carlos Correa
National League Rookie of the Year: Kris Bryant
American League Cy Young: David Price
National League Cy Young: Jake Arrieta
American League MVP: Josh Donaldson
National League MVP: Bryce Harper
Feel free to click the links associated with each award to be taken to my post on it, giving the full reasoning behind my picks. I'm planning to post a blog entry covering the winners of each award when they're announced towards the middle of next month, comparing my original picks to the winners and giving my overall thoughts, so be sure to check back for that when the time arrives.
My Vote for 2015 N.L. Most Valuable Player Award
As I stated in my American League post, choosing the Most Valuable Player from each league is the most difficult decision of all the major baseball awards handed out at the conclusion of each season. With Rookie of the Year and Cy Young you can usually look solely at which player had the best overall stats, but Most Valuable Player sometimes involves a bit more than just stats. While it's important that an MVP winner had a great statistical year, the best offensive player doesn't automatically become the most valuable.
With that said, it was an even more difficult vote for me this season than it has been in seasons past. Jake Arrieta, Nolan Arenado and Bryce Harper were all extremely valuable members of their given team in the National League. However, in the end, only one player can win the Most Valuable Player award.
Nolan Arenado had one of the best all around seasons in baseball this year, but to me it wasn't the most valuable. But that's not to take away anything from the year he had. With a .287 average, 42 home runs and major league best 130 runs batted in, Arenado broke out as one of the best third basemen in all of baseball. If he can keep producing the same type of numbers, he'll eventually take home an MVP. However, that's not going to happen in 2015.
Coming down to Jake Arrieta and Bryce Harper for National League MVP, it's truly a tough choice. Comparing a pitcher and hitter is never easy, but in this case it has to be done.
With that said, I ended up placing Arrieta as the runner up. While I don't necessarily think a pitcher should never win the MVP, given they aren't an everyday impact, I tend to give hitters a slight edge. But Arrieta truly came as close as you can to winning the NL MVP without holding the stats to take home the award. With a second half ERA of 0.75, Arrieta played an immense role in propelling the Cubs into the playoffs for the first time since 2008, but he doesn't quite get my vote.
Bryce Harper is in fact the player I went with for the National League Most Valuable Player award for 2015. Although the Nationals unbelievably missed out on the postseason, Harper did all he could to get them there. With one of the top seasons in the history of baseball for a player age 22 or younger, Harper will continue to win MVP awards if he can continue to post numbers like he did this season. With 42 homers, a .330 average and a .460 on base percentage (due in large part to his 124 walks), Harper should pick up his first MVP of what will likely become many.
My Vote for 2015 A.L. Most Valuable Player Award
Choosing the Most Valuable Player from each league is the most difficult decision of all the major baseball awards handed out at the conclusion of each season. With Rookie of the Year and Cy Young you can usually look solely at which player had the best overall stats, but Most Valuable Player sometimes involves a bit more than just stats. While it's important that an MVP winner had a great statistical year, the best offensive player doesn't automatically become the most valuable.
With that said, it was an even more difficult vote for me this season than it has been in seasons past. There are several players, including Josh Donaldson, Mike Trout, and even Chris Davis, who were all extremely valuable members of their given team in the American League. However, in the end, only one player can win the Most Valuable Player award.
Chris Davis posted some unbelievable stats in 2015, of 47 home runs and 117 RBI's all while hitting a solid .262. Whenever a player does that, they have to at the very least be acknowledged as a valuable member of their given team. Even so, while Davis was arguably the most valuable Orioles player, he was by no means the most valuable player in all of the American League.
That honor came down to Mike Trout (once again) and Josh Donaldson. But while Trout had another incredible statistical season, in which he brought a tremendous amount of value, he won't be picking up his second straight MVP. Despite an elite on base percentage of .402, along with 41 homers, Trout didn't quite put up the numbers needed to win the award.
In my opinion, and the opinion of many others around the baseball world, Josh Donaldson is the best choice for the 2015 American League Most Valuable Player award. All season long, Donaldson came up big for the Blue Jays time and time again. Although the likes of Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion did their fare share of carrying the team, it was Donaldson leading the charge. With his 41 homers, league-leading 123 RBI's and batting average of .301, Donaldson truly earned the MVP.
My Vote for 2015 N.L. Cy Young Award
As I stated in my American League Cy Young post, each season there are usually several pitchers from each league that have incredible seasons, making it difficult to choose between them for who most deserves the Cy Young award. This year, however, it's really between a mere three. Jake Arrieta, Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke stood out as the best of the best from the National League crop in 2015, but in the end only one can with the National League Cy Young award.
Zack Greinke had a great season, and lead the majors with a superb 1.66 ERA over the course of 222.2 innings pitched. But although he was terrific, he isn't likely going to win the Cy Young award, which is a true shame. But when you're going up against Jake Arrieta and Clayton Kershaw, you had to have an utterly historic season. Even though Greinke had a once in a decade year, he didn't do enough to beat out the competition.
Between Jake Arrieta and Clayton Kershaw, you can't go wrong. No matter which one you decide on, you're choosing a player that was the best at what they do in 2015.
With that said, I regrettably had to pass on giving the award to Clayton Kershaw. As hard as that is for me to do with Kershaw putting up a 2.13 ERA and striking out an astonishing 301 batters on the year, I couldn't pick Kershaw. What makes his season even more remarkable is the fact that he posted these type of numbers after getting off to a poor start to the season. To come as far as he did is unreal.
But with all of that said, the player I went with to with the 2015 National League Cy Young award is Jake Arrieta. As if his 1.77 ERA and record of 22-6 on the year aren't impressive enough, Arrieta made it all the more impressive by posting the best second half ERA in baseball history. Over the course of his final 15 starts of the 2015 season, Arrieta posted a mere 0.75 ERA and held batters to a .148 average. It's numbers like those that give Arrieta the slightest of edges for 2015 National League Cy Young.
My Vote for 2015 A.L. Cy Young Award
Each year there are usually several pitchers from each league that have incredible seasons, making it difficult to choose between them for who most deserves the Cy Young award. This year is no different. The American League saw Chris Sale, Chris Archer, Dallas Keuchel and David Price all having great seasons. However, in the end, only one player can take home the Cy Young award.
Chris Sale had a terrific year, setting the all-time strikeout record for a White Sox pitcher with 274, but he is the least likely to win it of the players on this list. Despite his amazing strikeout number, Sale's 3.41 ERA barely broke the top 10 in the American League, and therefore won't give him the Cy Young.
On the other hand, Chris Archer does in fact have a chance. Admittedly, it's a small chance, but his number deserve recognition. Archer posted a 3.23 ERA this season over the course of 34 starts and struck out a respectable 252 batters, giving him true Ace status for the Rays. Even so, this isn't the year he wins the top pitching award in my mind.
It comes down to David Price and Dallas Keuchel for me, with either one having a strong case for the award. In the end, though, I had to just pass on Keuchel. Although he had an amazing year for the Astros, helping them make the playoffs, he didn't quite have the numbers, even with his 2.48 ERA.
For me, the difficult but correct choice for the 2015 American League Cy Young award — and likely controversial selection — is the Blue Jays' star pitcher, David Price. While Price wasn't overly dominant all season long, his 2.45 ERA was the lowest of his career. While things are going to be very close between Price and Keuchel, I just have to give it to Price, who was a big part of the Blue Jays' squad this season.

Barrington's ancestors had held property in Essex since the early 13th century and from 1572 frequently represented the county in Parliament. The manor of Swainstone in the Isle of Wight, which had come into the family by marriage in the late 16th century, gave them an electoral influence in the borough of Newtown. His father, a relative by marriage of Oliver Cromwell, sat in both the Short and the Long Parliaments, opposed the Stuarts and dominated the county committee in the Civil War. Barrington, like his father a Presbyterian and a Parliamentarian, was a recruiter to the Long Parliament. He abstained from sitting after Pride's Purge, and refused to act as one of the King's judges, though he was not removed from the commission of the peace till 1653, when he was imprisoned in the Fleet for his father's debts. He did not resume his seat with the other secluded Members in 1660, but was appointed to the militia commission.
