the count. it is midnight in washington d.c . hanigan on 1st. 0-2. fouled down the right side. johnny holliday along with rob dibble here. glad to have you with us tonight. we started this ballgame at 7:00. two hours and 10 minute rain delay. bob carpenter took a few days

off. josh bard and gonzalez, 2-2 game in their hands. macdougal just misses outside. >> rob: when debbi taylor left, i said make sure you get the player of the game for the nationals. she assured me she would. >> johnny: 1-2 pitch to jerry hairston. swing and a miss. macdougal strikes out two here in the top of the 10th 10th. ryan zimmermann leads off for the nationals. we go to the last of the 10th at nats park. @@ this is humiliating. stand still so we can get an accurate reading. okay...um...eighteen pounds and a smidge. a smidge? y'know, there's really no need to weigh packages under 70 pounds. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service, if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate.

cool. you know this scale is off by a good 7, 8 pounds. maybe five. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship.

well the nationals tied ballgame up in the 9th inning. things not looking too good. josh bard and gonzalez came through with base hits. >> rob: josh willingham drew a walk. single down the right field line. alberto gonzalez had the tying run. bottom of the 10th inning. >> rob: this might be our night

april 24th. he was on the dl 15 days for a strained muscle. this is his 17th 17th appearance this year. zimmermann brings him upswinging. >> rob: he meer from the sox. trade deadline last year, july 31, 2008. >> johnny: ownight the job done in this ballgame. average .257. one swing of the bat would finish this baby off. inside. 1-0 to adam dunn.

0-4 night. i forgot macdougal went to wake forest signed by baltimore 21st round, 2nd team all american, 1st team all american by baseball america. he had a heck of a year in the atlantic coast conference in wins and era. he had a personal record against duke in 99. takes a couple of steps. one down in the 11th. i think that's about all willy taveras has. macdougal in his

9thyear in the major leagues. phillips grounded to right, grounded to second. >> rob: he's still -- >> johnny: leaves the ball club in that category. phillips 0-1. nix is next. hernandez after him. >> rob: 17 homers in 06; 30

homers 07. >> johnny: macdougal delivers, a swing and a foul. mike had terrific years with kansas city. 68 games he pitched in 2003. came back a couple of years later, did the same thing. 54 with the white sox two years ago. he racked up 144 innings with kansas city in omaha before he got to the big leagues. 1-2. fouled off the plate at his foot. left hander getting ready in the nationals bullpen. this ballgame began four hours

five minutes ago. >> rob: the first 8 1/2 innings took 2 1/2 hours. >> johnny: this is the 10th time in all the home games there's been rain which has forced delays in nationals games games. i don't think any team in baseball has had this much problems with weather. >> rob: still holding on to the conspiracy, bad karma. >> johnny: 2-2 to brandon phillips. nobody on and one out in the 11 11th. macdougal delivers. phillips on with the potential

go ahead run. 5th base hit tonight for cincinnati. >> rob: kind of a four iron shot to right center field. pretty good pitch went with it. >> johnny: phillips on base for the first time tonight. phillips hit by a pitch in the 1 1st inning, grounded out in the 4th. lined out to 2nd the 6th and 9th. >> rob: 80 stolen bases, great speed. >> johnny: six this year.

macdougal a toss over. 2-2 ballgame. 2, 7, 1 for the nationals. there's an eerie silence in this ball park. it's like we don't want to speak too loud. >> rob: they can probably hear us. >> johnny: they're looking up right now. like the all night disk jockey. villone continues to loosen up in the bullpen. >> rob: how much fun was it

ding in san francisco? that's where it was. >> johnny: that's right. nothing like it. every team's dream. >> rob: did you get to see jim morrisson? >> johnny: i did not. i used to play light my fire in el paso back to back with a bridge over troubled waters. i could be in my car and across the golden gate bridge by the time that play finished. >> rob: you also need to take a bathroom break and play a long song. >> johnny: two minute records went to five minute and six minutes. here we have a 2-2 ballgame.

phillips at 1st base. >> rob: did you ever meet grateful dead? >> johnny: sure. garcia. >> rob: deadhead. me and my wife. that's when i knew i loved her. >> johnny: nix goes down swinging. >> rob: here's macdougal challenging him. nice pitch there. >> johnny: talking about getting the job done. the bullpen is really, the last 16 ballgames, 2.7 era for this bullpen. down from 6.65 the first 40

games of the year. macdougal delivers to hernandez having to play 1st these days. >> rob: you want to time his home plate. >> johnny: phillips at 1st. 1-2 ballgame. hernandez, 1-0. macdougal for the stretch. >> rob: beautiful. 95 miles per hour heat. that helps. >> johnny: started outside and came right back across the corner of the plate. >> rob: when the ball reached

the catcher's mitt, it stopped it. >> johnny: 1-1 hernandez. fouled to the right. >> rob: you've got to give less than 2 seconds getting that ball to the catcher. give that catcher enough time to get and you throw it to 2nd. >> johnny: 2-2. mike is 32 now. born in las vegas in 77. the way he throws -- >> rob: i wouldn't have bet on

that. the government seized 27,000 bank accounts on line poker play activity, $4 million. you would think the government would temperature -- would step in and crack down on that. [cheering and applause] >> johnny: willingham will lead off in the bottom of the 11th. nats are trying to get a run to win this one. 2-2. we'll be back after this. 

we head to the bottom o the 11th with a tied game. >> rob: follow the game on your iphone featuring play by play, highlights and live video broadcast. get on your iphone or ipod touch to purchase. can you get a shot of that? i'm holding up an iphone now in

the booth. it's mine. >> johnny: josh willingham takes cuts against nick masset. he's walked the last couple of times he's been to the plate. >> rob: it's got all your information. so are you going to get a shot of that? >> johnny: willingham batting .250. his average dropped tonight with the 0-2. 3-0 to josh willingham. nicely done. >> rob: you see the nice little

extra battery pack it comes with it for these long nights. stay in touch. got pitching right now. macdougal, hernandez. >> johnny: 3-1. pops it up out of play down behind the nationals dug out. for those 85 fans still with us, it's 12:25 a.m. these are the die hards. a lot of folks bailed early, rob. >> rob: it rained for two hours. >> johnny: across the diamond, hernandez, one down. >> rob: belliard here, one out.

bottom of the 11th inning. one away, 2-2 ballgame. .177 batting average. you have to make adjustments when you get older. i'll go back to the conversation i had today. he said as he got older, you know you're not swinging like you did when you were 25. he said your skill deteriorates with age. you always have to stand let in

the count. >> johnny: not to say he doesn't have good days left because he does. great years with cleveland. .291 in 06. .284 in 05. >> rob: 17 homers and 78 driven in for 05. >> johnny: the count is full 3- 2. 12:30 at night, 3-1 pitch was a little up obviously. he's got to be swinging. you've got to recognize here. bottom of the 11th here, one

out. >> johnny: he's down on strikes. >> rob: not happy about that. nice breaking ball. >> johnny: second time belliard goes down swinging. he did it in the 9th. >> rob: got to have confidence and throw the fastball, sell it with a hitter. >> johnny: austin kearns will be weight. there's two down here in the 11 11th. >> johnny: wil has done a fantastic job.

>> johnny: two solid veteran catchers. >> rob: both are very enthusiastic, get the most out of the pitching staff. that's really turned around in the last couple of weeks. they're trying to pump up their pitchers. that's your number one job as a catcher. >> johnny: 1-2. nick masset following aaron harang and arthur rhodes and francisco cordero to the mound. the bullpen for the reds 4-18. that's the 11th inning in the books. we're still tied at 2. we'll come back with more. johnny holiday and rob dibble on masn.
