Final post of the Summer

sunday

Today we went out on the boat. We went to Sharks Tooth beach. The water was like eighty degrees. It was really warm. Then we went down the Potomac river some more. We found a restaurant were you anchor your boat and call a shuttle to pick you up. It was cool but unfortunately. We already had lunch. We had a cheese sandwich, goldfish and strawberries. Then we went tubing. It was really choppy so it was pretty hard. I stayed on the whole time though. It was a lot of fun. Then we got back in the car to get back home. We came home and I Mom made me do more of the extra credit work my math teacher gave me. They were kukaro puzzles. Basically they give you a number and you have to add up to that number using the number of spaces you have but they are more than one in a puzzle and you have to have all them work. Tomorrow we are going to the Nationals game. They are playing the Mets. We have good seats. They are right behind the Mets dug out.

Today we had to baby sit Esther friend Chrissy. So we took her to the pool. There was no one I knew that was there. The pool was almost empty. Then we went home and Esther and Chrissy played Wii. So I had lunch and watched some TV. I found this really cool show called Head Rush. It is basically a Mythbusters but Kari Byron host it and she does experiments during the breaks instead of ads. Dad and I watched Marley and Me. It is a really good movie. It is also very sad. I really want to see the movie Devil. It is a horror movie about these people that are stuck in an elevator and one of them is the devil and he is going to kill all the other people on the elevator but the people out side want to save them.

Part five

They start off the next game in the series and Mike is listening to the game from his couch in an apartment in San Fransisco. The Giants win. Mike starts making dinner then he sees a press conference after the game and the Manager is talking. "I was wrong by exposing who this kid is and I think we should not discriminate against disabilities if they can still play very well."

Later the giants manager is talking and he says "Mike, I hope to find you back at the field tomorrow for the series finale."

The Commissioner also talks at the press conference "Mike has been reinstated to the MLB." The next day at the field Mike recives a standing ovation. Mike goes on to become a hall of fame pitcher. He ends his career with an ERA of 2.00. He also threw 3 more perfect games and two no hitters.

THE END

part four

In the first inning he strikes out the side. He cruises into the fifth inning. Then Mark Texeria hit a long shot but... Pat Burrell makes an amazing grab saving the perfect game. He makes within one out. He has two strikes on Lance Burkman and he hit a walkoff home run.

Later at the press conference "Would like to tell all the press something before I take questions. Andrew Phillips is actually Mike Phillips and he will be taken out of the MLB." Manager said. Mike was steaming mad when he heard this.

"You can't do that you aren't the Commissioner!" said Mike. The Commissioner walks out from the back of the room. "I approved what Manager is saying." Mike steams off from the conference room.

The next day in front of AT&T park. "Let him pitch, Let him pitch, Let him pitch." There were many protester in front of the stadium." Find out what the Manager say in the Finale.

part three

"I am surprised you haven't taken him out of the league yet." said the New York manager.
"He is the best thing that has happened to this league in years!" said the commissioner.

"You know what I will make you a bet if Andrews throws a perfect game against my Yankees I won't tell anybody, If he doesn't you have to that he will be taken out of the league." Manager said. "You we could be taken out for this bet?" said Commissioner.

"Well then I will announce that he is Mike Phillips." Manager said. Then he left.

"Boy I hope he pitches a perfect game." says the Commissioner. Later that day in the first game of the series Matt Capps takes the mound for the Giants and C.C Sabathia takes takes the mound for the Yankees. The games to long into the 15th inning and all the reliever are very tired. The next day Andrews takes the mound and right before he takes the mound the skipper tells him "You better pitch well we don't have any Relievers." That sure is reassuring. Check the next episode tomorrow to see if he pitches that perfect game and stays in the Majors.

A fictional story part two

The League was surprised at this feat so they did a little background check on Andrew Phillips and they couldn't find any information on him so the MLB commissioner called him in for a meeting. Andrew walked into the meeting. The commissioner said" now tell me who you really are."

Andrew stayed quite for a minute then answered "You remember Mike Phillips?" the commissioner nodded. "that is who I am." The Commissioner looked very surprised. "I should suspend you from the MLB but I know you are one of the best pitchers I have ever seen. " said the Commissioner.

Andrew went back out an pitched a one-hit shutout. Now people were getting suspicious of his talent they never even heard of him before the draft. They were about to start a series against the Yankees and their manager went to talk to the Commissioner. He had found out. Find out what will happen to Andrew in the next chapter of "A fictional story" Tomorrow.

A fictional story

Mike Phillips was one out away from a perfect game. He was baseballs next big thing and it was College championship. He planned to be drafted by the Astro's and live the high life. But at the last out of the game the batter hit a a come back line drive. It hit him in the face and he went blind. He was not drafted to the MLB at all and disappeared from all media.

Three Years Later

A man by the nae of Phillip Andrews enters the draft. He was very odd. He always wore dark tinted glass and walked very slowly as if waiting for something. He was chosen in the first round by the Giants and was the fifth pick over all. He skipped all farm leagues. He made his first start one week after he was drafted. He went out and threw a perfect game against the Orioles.

Find out how these two people are connected in the next story. You will find it on my blog tomorrow.

Monday

Today we basically did nothing. I rode my bike to the Laughing Ogre comic book store. I ordered one manga. It is called MPD-Psycho. It is a horror manga. Dad is still in New Jersey. It is raining a lot so they can;t go flying like they were supposed to. I asked him why he couldn't come home. He said because he is the leader there and he has to be the last one to leave. I really miss dad he has been gone for almost two weeks straight. Mom is to pooped from having Jarrett here to do anything so it is really boring at the Anderson house. We will do our school shopping for our supplies tomorrow. As I said really boring. Locker distribution day is next week. That is where they give out the locker and the schedules.
