Flawless and Flawed

Flawless Down in Florida on the twenty-ninth of May, the Phillies had a pitcher named Roy Halladay. There was a show in store for Phillies fans in town. In each inning, three came up and three went down. In this one game during a pennant chase, not one Florida Marlin could reach first base. The only run scored on an error by Cameron Maybin. However, that was all the Phils needed to win. When it was all over, Roy pitched a perfect game. There is no better way for a pitcher to achieve fame. Flawed A Major League team that used to be in Montreal, is now in Washington, DC playing the game of baseball. In the nation’s capital, they are again playing the game. The “Nationals” is this baseball team’s name. They have poor hitting, lousy pitching, and make errors by the score. As a team goes, they are the same as they were before. To see where they stand, they need a periscope. The team is in bad shape will little immediate hope. The Nats have given their fans little to cheer for each season. Their annual dismal performance is the paramount reason.
