Perfect Game

I know that you have been reading my basketball posts the past two weeks but I am going to change it up a little bit by jumping over to one of the hardest things to do in baseball. The reason why I am bringing this topic up this week is because this weekend a pitcher from the Oakland Athletics pitched a perfect game which is when a pitcher does not give up a hit or walk anybody which seems pretty impossible right but not to Mr. Braden who did exactly that. I was so surprised that an American League pitcher pitched a perfect game because the National League team pitchers are sometimes better than the American League teams. For example Tim Lincecum

is a dominate pitcher because of his outstanding E.R.A which stands for earned run average. Another surprisingly good pitcher from the Mets is Jhohan Santana who also has a very good E.R.A. The reason why I say surprisingly is because the Mets have not have a good pitcher since the hall of fame brought Tom Seaver into the hall of fame. Anyway I think that the Athletics pitcher really surprised Major League Baseball.
