the marlins in the wildcard race and 7 1/2 back of colorado. >> bob: dunn went. he knows he's out, 2 down. adam dunn strikes out for the 156th time. 2ks on the night for cliff lee.   >> rob: through fastball an different looks and finally getting him out with a breaking ball down in the dirt, away toward the righties batting box. that's just cliff lee as we talked many times and jim palmer has said. will only break out the out pitch when he need s a strike out or ground ball. most of the time it's fastballs and change-up. >> like that first pitch change- up. 85. call that a bp fastball. >> yeah, that was a get me over for-strike pitch. that's not i'm trying to get you out on the first pitch and

throw it in the dirt pitch. mock, lots of pitches. 67 for 3 innings. in the hole, 0-2. ryan got in the hole 0-2 last night before madson curved him up. ambulance,   last year, he made 31 start with the indians and won 24 of those starts. .254 e.r.a. led the league. nobody goes 22 and 3 any more. >> rob: he did. >>s that inside, 2-2. his career record 88 and 50. this is his 190th game, his

186th start. and cliff lee has pitched 12 13 games. 3 shut outs. that's a lot by today's standard. 2 for the phillies already. and zimmerman strikes out on a breaking ball. the nats are gone in the third. a lead off hit by maxwell he's stranded. the nats trail 3-1.

 >> bob: there was a big tim race between tom and abe. teddy and george not factors. gravity is taking over as tom would cut off abe and get to the finish line. can he stay on his-feet long enough to keep that head airborne? just long enough. those are not the wagering windows. that's where you get the popcorn, hot dogs and ice cold drinks. >> i thought they were collecting their wins. >> entertainment purposes only. >> bob: willingham, dukes and bard, phillies lead. willingham tried to pull an outside pitch and grounded out

to rollins. hit that at feliz. >> rob: tom can take abe. >> bob: you can do that. that's what i'm talking about. throw money changers out of the ballpark if they do that. aflac trivia. two players won rookie of the year and mvp the next season. ryan howard is one of them. i do believe ryan howard is one. he was rookie of the year in '05. >> ryan howard and frank howard? >> wonder if albert pujols. >> i don't think, he was not an mvp. he kept losing out the barry bonds. >> it took pujols 6 years to win an mvp. bonds was taking all of them.

that's a good one. rookie of the year, then mvp. mike piazza? >> lee get as head in the 0-2 quickly. he got rid of willingham in a hurry. he was 0-2 before you could blink to dukes. when he goes 0-2 he pounds you inside. he did it to zimmerman. this is the same pattern, as what happened to zimmerman, 0- 2, 2 fastballs on his hand and see if he pulls the string on him here. >> a curveball, 79 in the dirt? >> or a straight change. >> that was 85, got hit along the way. >> he gave him a fastball, in that count. and i think he was looking breaking ball, but as they say,

i've said this before. he has some of the quickest hands in game. takes that 85 after keeping it back for fastball and adjusts. >> and lee probably missed his location there. that was the change-up, i'm sure he didn't want it sitting up there like that. >> rob: the ballpark helped lee get away with that. if we were in philadelphia that's halfway up the grand stand. that's 6 in a refor lee since the maxwell base hit. 5 in a row pardon me, trying to make bards number 6. josh doesn't get to hit right-handed a lot. >> bob: we talked about that last week. almost always will nieves. he started prior to this one. tonight josh bard got the call. he came in hitting .270, and

only 37 at bat. he's had 191 at-bats left handed. >> rob: by the way, i apologize, cliff lee, 19 times this year 7 inning or more. >> nieves 197 at bat. after this ab ward and nieves will be 3 bat as part. riggleman, and acta before him doing a balanced job of keeping them active but pressure after the -- fresh after the injury the flores. 3-1 to josh. he has power from the right side. ibanez was battling the light there's and ends up on his tummy to make that play. tic foe music playing ]

 if he's on the shift offer at

third. mock got a 1, 2, 3 inning. >> rob: had great movement to pitches. threw a lot of change-ups that inning. got his total up to 83 pitches in 4 inning. which is 30 more than cliff lee has thrown. that will help. victorino is retired. so for mock, that's 5 in a row, and 10 of his last 11. >> he's due to bat second in the 5th inning. there's no activity in the bullpen. check him out. >> there's activity, nobody is throwing. more of a meet and greet. they must feel like a health club who's member doubled this week. we're told that in the bottom of this inning they'll be doing pilates.

>> they are fighting over sosa's locker. >> that's not nice. >> by the way, i thought yesterday that desmond's locker is next to guzman's.   that will be unusual. some consider desmond the shortstop of the future. time will sell. he had a good year this season. finally hit at the minor league level. a change-up outside to chase utley who's lined to center and flied to left. 

 that's a scary number 6.   everybody heard that hit josh bard's face mask. they are ooohing behind home plate. the down is 3-2.   >> bob: jams him, a pop-up. guzman, 2 outs. coors light freeze cam, the world's most refreshing beer, let's break down the big boys at 1st base. ryan howard, dunn. there's their swing, very

similar, same type of finish. both strike out a lot, they walk a lot and they crush a lot. coors light freeze cam on the big 1st baseman. >> bob: the only difference i saw was at the end, howard let the hand fly off the bat and dunn stays 2 handed on the swing all the way through. >> rob: they are top 3 in home runs hit in 2006. there you go. first in their class. 528 homers between them. close to 14 rbis -- 14 hundreds rbi. a lot of the chefs a lot of walks. >> the whiffs come with the territory. looking over statistics yesterday on yogi berra and joe dimaggio, yogi berra, 3 time

mvp, never struck out. never struck out over 20 years more than 38 times a season. >> rob: s that impressive. >> bob: joe dimaggio never struck out more than 39 times in a season. only did that once, his rookie year. >> rob: these guys have that many by memorial day. >> 2-1 change-up coming at you in the dirt. 81, howard. swinging. another change-up. >> rob: that's why people are amazed by pujols. these one modern player who's numbers mirror that, even him, even he does not strike out that infrequently. he's 60, 70, 80 a year. >> bob: he will walk 90 or 100 times. >> rob: for ryan howard, a walk. mock's third of the night.

he has to deal with raul ibanez. bounced him out the second. ibanez did double leading off the second and scored on a base hit by jayson werth.   now remember what jim rigger riggleman said, he threw two change-up to you beanies, knew he would get a fastball. swisher and longoria, against tampa bay and boston. now he's thrown 2 change-ups, and jim riggleman told us when that happens ibanez knows he getting a fastball and he'll be waiting for it. let's see what happens here. counts 1-1. he did get a strike

with one of them. he goes fastball, but he turns it over and runs it away. even ibanez won't bite on that.   mock may have the best stuff the rotation now that zimmerman is hurt. he's a tacking the phillies second and third time through and see the pitch total and not through the 5th inning with pretty much change-ups.   change-up,. >> bob: out of the 5 pitche ibanez, 4 have been change-up. >> rob: and the element of

mystery, may be gone here. down 3-2, runners going, fastball hit hard, right center. up against the board. ryan howard coming home to score. 4-1, and you could see it coming when you throw off-speed pitch one after another. he getting challenged with a fastball and punished it. that's after a 2 out walk.   >> bob: another change-up. threw 5 out 6 pitches were change-up. i said this before. hitters are so good they can make the adjustment. pitch recognition is everything to a hitter at this level. throw 5 out of 6 with one pitch. i don't care if it's one out 6

fastball. though will make the adjust.   >> bob: joining detwiler. i think if mock had gotten through inning 1, 2, 3, or unscored upon they might have let him stay in. there was no activity in bullpen. >> rob: i'm not sure about that. would you. death wileer is a starter. he want some to get in the game too. >> bob: with 2 out and the bases empty nobody would throw. they would have another half

inning to throw. he's averaging 20 pitches an inning. that's too much. this has to be it now. phillies by 3.   strikes him out. 5th inning at he's the top half over. 4ks for mock who gives up 4 runs in 5 innings. nats down by 3. rest of my life i probably don't want to do it tomorrow. i told my dad, "i want to start a brewery." i told him, "i think you're crazy." i started sam adams with boston lager to make rich, flavorful beer. and he went and sold it one bottle at a time. no one had tried an american beer that had that kind of flavor. boston lager really was a groundswell. there's that saying, "do something you love "and you'll never work "a day in your life." i don't feel like i've worked for 24 years.

 >> bob: the nats have a way go here. >> rob: you see the george clooney thing where the dude took his clothes off? how funny was that. >> we'll talk about that after 10:00. rookies of the year, howard is

one. cal ripken. junior. 83 series, cal ripken has it. a tall, slim short stop, and the orioles beat the phills. phil's won the world series over kansas city, that last masr. 2 booths down from ry us. sergeant is here. helps him out on the radio. gonzalez jacks one gap in left center. he has a pair of doubles. the nat will hit for mock and 's coming to bat. it's timeafter this time, looking fairly trim is

flores. glad he ú over theg out. >> rob: he had to get that first at-bat some time. they wanted to pick the right spot. jesus was hitting .311whn as hut. with 15 rbi in 26 games. he took a foul ball off his right shoulder may 9th at arizona. great to see him back in uniform and back in the game. >> rob:  him flow? >>like floes úúner. >> that's a fair ball. ibanlooked at 2nd base and i . him.

boaú elou#uuadvance. by the runner. maxwell who singled off the glove of utley and guzman. >> bob: mac goes 5 inning, 4 runs on 6 hits. 3 walks, 4 strike out, 106 pitches.   >> zach. and a bounder left side. base hit! having to retreat gonzalez back the second before he add advanced and the nats have

runner at the corner. the ball on the ground that time. 2 for 3.   i'm happy about that more t anything. seeing maxwell hit. that kid can play. he hits at this level, .250 at this level, he's starting every day.   imagine in a couple years s morgan, dukes and maxwell in the out field? try to gap one of those guys. >> exactly. starting with the defense.   come on. 

 guzman one for one with a double and sacrifice bunt. success against lee in their american league days. >> rob: last night we showed what he hits off pedro. he owns pedro. i like he can hit the good guys too. like manny ramirez. ramirez hits the best pitchers in baseball. >> bob: a lot of hitters punish the 4 and 5 and get by. guzman fouls it to stay alive. >> rob: anyway, george clooney is promoting some money. >> you want to tell this story. >> rob: it's so ridiculous. this dude is strips maked in front of him and say, what do you say, hug me, kissimmee, marry me, something like that. >> escorted the gentleman out

and clooney just laughed. not only the women love george clooney, so do the men. >> bob: not that much. >> bob: 1-2 to guzman. he just getting a piece of it. the ball stays fair. a run will score, and guzman gets the rbi to make it a 4-2 game. gonzales coming on contact. no problem getting to home. now another runner in scoring position. maxwell. >> you didn't draw it up in the playbook that way but worked perfectly.   >> bob: very good pitchers pitch. a breaking ball. down and in, guzman, good contact guy off the end of the bat. lee has to field his position. close. it was close. >> in some ways better than a fly ball.

maxwell was able to advance, and the outfielder would throw into 2nd base to keep him at first. a base hit by dunn and the nationals are back the 4-3. he has one rbi tonight. >> ball, inside corner. >> bob: talking to spark a lyle today, a great closer for yankees. pitched 5 1/3. >> adam dunn, this will be a play at the plate. here's the throw, maxwell is too fast, it's a 4-3 game, and adam dunn goes to second on the throw with the second rbi on the night. [cheering] >> rob: maxwell covered serious ground from second to home right there. >> bob: adam dunn with a couple

big base hits tonight, getting it done with small ball. gets it in around that shift and maxwell no chance at the plate. he's cot just world class speed. >> that's not a good throw by werth. he gave the nationals 90 feet. he had no chance to get maxwell. zimmerman could tie the game with a base hit. my point about lile was, magic back in 77 what a great outing 5 inning of shut out ball in a championshiper is each he remembers not covering 1st base on a play that chambliss made. he made a diving play and goes, i'm standing there watching it. >> tried to pull an outside pitch. the nats are gone, they pick up two runs. it's a new ball game. 4-3 going to the 6th. how can you tell your beer is cold without it?

top of the 6th. game summary. alberto gonzalez a couple frabase hits and scoring a run. you can read it. i'm sick of talking about him. he's wearing out our boys out. dunn has retaken the team lead with 94. bergman in the 6th. it will be fun to watch zimmerman and dunn compete to see who getting 100 first. pedro feliz, one for 2. cliff lee has pitched 5 innings but only thrown 67 pitches. with a guy like him out there things hap quickly, one way or the organization and josh bard got , the other, and josh bard was crossed up. >> rob: he will throw the

majority fastball. he does everything right. it's a simple game plan. i'm going to 3 as many fastballs as i can, and work ahead, when i'm ahead of you i will throw junk 59 feet and get you out of there. the problem is two of the pitches he made to guzman he rolled up the 1st base line for an rbi. the one to dunn, dunn lifted it over the infield. his game plan is simple, i'm coming and going to throw a lot of strikes. add an wainwright got his 18th win with the cardinals. he does 80% fastball. i'm coming, i'm throwing strikes, johnson told me. that i know i can throw strikes. i don't want the walk people. bergman, walked the lead off guy.

>> bob: wainwright i think will win the cy young. >> he discuss. >> he has a chance to win 21, 22 games. unless they shut him down. though will clinch in the next week or so. and then you can do what you want to give your guys rest. a slow roller. a throw and a very nice 4-3 double play, tonight we're seeing the good alberto gonzalez with the bat and defensively. we know he can do that, he hasn't done it. >> rob: he has not been consistent. he does it once in a blue moon and tonight is his night to be excellent in the plate and in the field. right there. he's a tag of feliz. then bako not a great running catcher even from the left side of the plate. and lee hits one to center for maxwell and bergman after the lead-off walk will have a quick

top of the 6th. guess who's side momentum is on? it's the guys in the white uniforms. 

 >> bob: after the nationalling win tonight the next game w be thursday versus the phillies on masn, joe blanton, last 5 starts 2-0 with a 2.9. hernandez career versus the phillies 10 and 9, he will

throw nothing, even the kitchen sink at you. coverage at 6:30. nats xtra. livan has not won a ball game in 7 starts. he's looking for a w. >> rob: livan with the nats 0- 2. after goes 7-10 in 26 starts for mets. bottom 6. bit time for the bat of willingham to come alive. all of a sudden it's a ball game. interesting how things work out during a baseball season. josh willingham is a career .266 hitter. he's in ray slump. he's hitting 15 points over his career average. this game has a way of catching up with you when you have to play for 6 months.

if the season were over at the all-star break. a lot of guy was have career years. >> jim riggleman bristled a little bit when one of the print reporters asked about guys getting tired during a baseball season. he said we're not running up and down the court. this is not football where you're hilt and tackled. >> that's a good at bat, he said i don't buy it when people say you get tired playing baseball. this is not a continuous sport. i do acknowledge guys need days off the clear their head. you should not get exhausted playing the game of baseball. i think the only that would get tired with the catchers. >> the catchers are the exception. >> this is what you do.

you prepare yourself to do this. this is the choice you made. nobody is forcing to you play baseball. it's a privilege. i don't buy into the tired thing myself. >> it's an interesting sport. you have brief busts of action and energy and you may not do anything for half an hour. it's peaks and valleys, you fail more than you succeed. even mall -- hall-of-famers fail. it's dealing with adversest and this game is more than 90% mental you have to overcome a 50 at-bat stretch where you struggle. >> good to see floors throwing the ball in the bullpen. 1-2. hitless tonight. trying to extent his hitting streak to 10 games. >> one of the reasons like

jeter who hitting under .200 had a great hitting koch who said, don't let the first 200 at bat affect your final 400. he ended up close the .300 at the end of the year. it's mental. getting over a awful slump. 10 blown saves for brad lidge. weather that adversity that sets a part. fatigue, i don't think fatigue should enter into it. >> duke on the ground to utley. 2 outs. >> rob: another heck of a player that played with. barry larkin. he blew his achilles heel out. after that point he had to cheat. what he men, he didn't have the explosion for lot rahl movement he had. he had to go more off the scouting report, had to cheat in to know what the pitchers

with doing. he used his mental awareness and what he learned over the years to finish out his career. >> that's what we talk about. you off the 18 student of the game. you have to learn every day. if you are not willing to do, that you may want to find another line of work. >> josh bard 0 for 2, grounded to short. line drive to left.   how many times have we said this year, we've never seen that before. we've been around this game for a long time. you see something different every day. you can never think you have this game figured out. >> bob: bard getting jammed and fouls it out of play. >> rob: i love the point you made about drew. i don't like the fact he says

he can go back the stanford anytime he wants. he's right. you can't throw 92 forever. he said i only have so many bullets in this arm and i know it. >> i like that kid. >> i was retired at 31. you don't have to tell me. >> i bet when you were 24 you thought you would do it forever. >> rob: absolutely. when i was 25 or 26 i thought, i'll pitch forever.   >> bob: that ball hit the ground says ron culpa. he heard the tip. somebody needs the tell the ground crew to get off the field. >> very nice.

very nice [ chuckle ] now set off the fireworks too. come on. they are eager. they want to sweep the field. >> they are on the same rock a talky as the fireworks guy. >> and bard. >> now they can come out. oh, my goodness. jayson werth. victorino makes the catch. cue the ground crew. top of the 7th coming up. 

 >> bob: not a bad seat in the house at nationalling park. 4-3 phillies on top. for a college student get 50% off in september when you come down for a ball game monday- thursday. perfect purchase a ticket and get half off. check out the fan value corner. nationals.com. >> bergman with another inning. >> rob: the burger meister comes out for a a 2nd inning. rollins, victorino and utley. jimmy rollins, i'm not going to

tell you. let's wait and see what happens. >> what? >> i mean. i don't want to jinx it. for all you walk under the ladder black cat people out there. >> rob: i'm different about that stuff. toy walk under ladders. i had a black cat. >> that's good to know. >> rob: my cat was named pepsi. he trashed it. >> my mom would say stop messing around with that thing. you're suppose the mess around with cats. >> every animal. >> 3-1. >> rob: how would that guy find out don't poke the bear if he didn't poke the bear. >> bob: some things are better left out.

>> bob: marlins have increased their lead at new york 6-0, top of the 7th. they are doing scoreboard watching hoping the nats can give them help. have not given up on the division yet. >> bob: jimmy rolens was 0 for 7 in this series until that nice swing of his to left field. that's the first hit by either rollins or howard in this series, howard did walk and score last time up. but it's too a certain extent utley. ibanez and werth with help from feliz and ruiz who have done the filly -- philly damage in this series. this could be jason bergman's last hitter. left hander next. utley.  

>> bob: jimmy rollins stepp up his game. >> bob: he was hitting under .2 april and may. >> rob: to have him looking at .240, chasing down .250 is incredible. >> bob: the nats will be in philadelphia on the xt road trip. >> right in the middle of the ball. >> that's a big movement for a 92-miles-an-hour fastball. the movement of on pitch. if you didn't see the gun, would you think it's the plate to the other. >> no reason he gets hit he get >> close. almost got rollins. who's 25 out of 33 this year.

bergman battinaverage . >> rob: joust got in, and see the kids  watching at home out jimmy rollins jumped back. >> guzman out and willingham in. we're going to make an decision to our trivia answer from earlier. a fan e-mailed us and tells us that ryan howard. cal ripken and justin pedroia were the 3 men, not 2, that were rookie of the year one yore and mvp the next. that's good. >> rob: i want to finish this story on lyle. and that point, covering 1st base. his pitching coach, is going to make a pitching change, jim riggleman. fred said to billy martin, he couldn't get my grandmother out. >> she was a good hitter too.

>> here's sean burnett. burnett and utley. lefty, lefty, coming back. le l gecko: ah, gecko, actually - exec: with all due respect, if i was tiny and green and had a british accent i'd have more folks paying attention to me too... i mean - (faux english accent) "save money! pip pip cheerio!" exec 2: british? i thought you were australian. gecko: well, it's funny you should ask.

when a left-handed reliever comes in. he went 5 1/3, shut out innings, earned the victory in that win over the royals, 77, wasn't it? >> that would be the lcs. >> it was. that's when hurt involving's team could not beat the yahya. martin said what does spark a look like. i want to take the starter out. couldn't get his grandmother out. how many inning do you think you have. he said, billy, my grand mother is not in the lineup. so he went 5 1/3 shut-out innings and gets the win. this is how brutal we had about each other. and on yourself shall he goes, the orange thing i remember about that day, i didn't cover

first base. champ bliss made a great play. >> if you're a perfectionist, if you succeed you beat yourself up over the things you did no dot do. >> they will never let us coach. that's a great line. my grandmother is not in the lineup tonight. he said we talked about pitching. he has one pitch. we talked about rivera. thrice cutter. our guys or relievers want to throw all 4 of their pitchers. >> hernandez did well request a -- with a screwball. >> how about trevor hoffman. >> all time saves leader. hurt his arm, but still will set up that change-up by throwing fastballs. though may be 84 and the change-

up 72. but it's the mentality that you say to yourself i have to get ahead of the hitter. >> first pitch strike is my best pitch. >> bob: runner goes, great jump. i didn't think bard would throw it. that's number 26 for jimmy rollins. who has not been on base enough this year to have a really prolific base stealing season. this is off the pitcher. as soon as he breaks that leg off the dirt, picks it up. rollins is off, never looks in. not even a throw. >> two years ago jimmy had 41. last year 47. he won't be much beyond 30 by the end of this season because of his low batting average. his on-base percentage coming into the game, .286. that's unbelieveably bad for any every day leadoff guy.

he would tell you it's a bad year. >> you know how many error as shortstop? >> how many years? >> error this year. 3. >> so, he's taken away runs but maybe not scores. >> that's a good play. burnett gets there. and jimmy rollins at 3rd base with 2 out. >> here's a statistic on jimmy rollins who has not scored in this series. when he scores at least one run the phillies are 51 and 15 this year. it will be up to ryan howard to get him home of and give the phills more than one run lead. if burnett is keep it close, it will be an interesting last 3 innings. 

 the new ark bears maze doc gooden -- ryan howard if it's fair, and it hooks before the pole. dodged one there. >> rob: the manager of that team is tim rains. titching coach is mike torres,

and the hitting coach the ron, that's a breaking ball, getting out in front of it. see the body english by ryan howard. no, that's a foul ball. carlton fisk right there.   >> bob: foul ball gets the talking. >> rob: this is one scary dude. should we walk him? >> you can get him. >> ball game approaching the 2 hour mark, top of the 7th inning. 4-3 phillies. each team with 7 hits. errorless ball on both sides and a count of 1-1 to ryan howard who takes the breaking ball away. 

 >> rob: test your memory, member debbie taylor did a piece on the bar that ryan howard swings. you remember how heavy it was. >> it was like 20 or 30. >> they're going the walk him. you're asking the question and you don't know the answer either? >> i wouldn't ask you the question if i knew the answer. >> i thought you were testing my memory. when someone is testing your memory you something they know the answer. >> >> rob: i have to know the answer before i can test new. >> i'm thinking it was 30 pounds. >> rob: we'll put debbie back on the case. >> bob: it's heavier than a bat. >> rob: it's a solid piece of steel. look at that. >> bob: ill do a baton twirling

with that and report back to you. >> rob: it will be like a tooth pick in your hand. have you met ryan's brothers? >> from the st. lewis area. >> i shooted with ryan. burnett bounced that out in front of josh bard. 

 >> ryan howard swings that picks up the bat. how do you wait on a change-up? >> the bat has to feel like a tooth pick. >> bob: he sees a lot of off- speed stuff. ibanez late on that hook. strike 2. >> rob: ryan howard does not have that many hits in this series. he can face the national killer. >> bob: and howard goes to second. he is safe! a good throw by bard would have had him by plenty. josh futbol on the shortstop side of the bag and howard is 6 for 6 stealing bases this year. other. >> rob: i'm sure he runs behind the play right here.

>> picked a good pitch in the dirt. off speed and he's in there for the big man. he was moving too. i think he's out. >> bob: he may have come off the bag after the initial touch. if ward put its that throw on or near the -- bard puts it near the bag. the inning is over. >> rob: 3-2 do it again. >> bob: don't give him anything over the heart of the plate. >> rob: throw that breaking ball again. >> swing and a miss. he had enough movement to get it by him. the phillies strand 2. they have left 7 and the nationals are right in this game at the stretch. what are you really paying for? whoa! ha ha!

i say "happy," you say "birthday!" happy... birthday! who's hungry? why pay for flair when you can get all the flavor for just $3.99 with wendy's new boneless wings. tender, juicy chicken, hand tossed in our signature buffalo or bbq sauce. it's waaaay better than fast food. it's wendy's.

 capital dome on this beauti september evening. we go bottom 7th. the pitching has kept the nats in. the bullpen has done well. >> they have taken control of this game. and right there, burnett, i expected him to throw a breaking ball and threw a fastball. making pitch and right now, because you have gone through the middle of the order. if you can get a couple runs looks good for the last 6 outs of ball game. >> gonzalez had a couple good at bat. he will lead off here. bottom of the 7th. >> rob: he's on fire, has a

couple hits tonight. keep it going. >> bob: and it will be 3 consecutive doubles for gonzalez, who short hops the left-field wall and just as we were about to give alberto's bat up for dead, he comes back tonight. >> bob: you talk bad about a guy long enough shall he starts to do good. >> he has 3 troubles tonight. started off going the opposite way on a short compact swing. the nats have lee on the ropes. he's only throw 83 pitches. >> rob: lis last couple starts

he's been banged around a bit. 5 first starts undefeated. last 2, losses. padilla one for 9 as a pinch hitter. he's punching his first major league rbi. a 30-year-old rookie who had a birthday on august 11th. and he was called up to the nationals 6 days before that. >> bob: lays down a bunt. perfect if it stays fair and it will! it stops, and padilla thought about going to 2nd base for a moment, it's a base hit for him. pretty good sacrifice right there. [cheering] >> bob: they say you couldn't roll it out better.

if he rolls it, it goes foul. >> rob: making serious points tonight with the way he's played. i'm sure he will get a few more starts because of it. you needed him to move the run you're up. no outs, man on second. the tying run and that's just a perfect bunt. the other day we got one of those too. that rolled back toward tin field. >> bob: did you see the hustle by the umpire. he was 60 feet up the line. maxwell shows bunt. not a suicide. gonzalez was not coming on the pitch. you have to score here. you simply have to get this run, tie the game, and then you're the home team and have the advantage the rest of the way. maxwell swings through a breaking ball 18 hitter -- a hitter has had a probable with contact, strikes out once

tonight and 15 time on the year needs to get the bat on the ball.   >> bob: foul tips it to stay alive. >> rob: you have to be defensive. you're behind in the count. if you are maxwell you are looking to hit a fly ball or base hit. pulled in for double-play depth.   >> rob: now they will move a little bit. they will concede the run and try to get a double play. >> fastball right by him. >> rob: that's not going to make it. >> bob: 4 strikeouts by lee tonight. maxwell twice. >> rob: he was this a great situation to help the club, help himself and tabes big long swing trying to kill it. makes contact. sees that run you're at third. up to guzman to get the guy in.

>> bob: guzman one for two. a double, a sacrifice bunt. and an rbi ground ball.   a lot of hitting room. guzman does not go the right field a lot batting right handed. bp fastball missing low. >> rob: he have stolen bases in the minor leagues? >> >> bob: he stole 136 in his career. not this year. pretty good. he's been in the minor leagues for 11 years. >> rob: he could steal a base that would help. >> bob: he did have 14 at syracuse. >> he has speed. >> bob: and 13 last year.

2-0, guzman hits a double play ball. out of his glove and utley drops it and the nats tie the game. you know what, that was not a rhythmic play, jimmy rollins didn't get it to utley quickly. the nats get a big break. >> a fast guy is getting up on the 2nd baseman in a herey. right here jimmy rollins had trouble getting it out and utley felt padilla coming. he was hurrying to get out of the way. and padillas speed made that happen. here's dunn. the nats have been given an extra out. let's see what they can do with it. mock is off the hook as the nats tie the game. out hit the phillies 9-7. and it's 4-4 in the bottom.

7th. >> bob: dunn has had a good night. 2 rbi singles. yes.   couple check swings on lee' curveball.   chan ho park. 2-1 to dunn. that's a swing and a miss, and

padilla, pardon me, guzman makes it to 2nd base. that's the second time tonight bako had a hard time making a connection on a catchable pitch. he's acting like he was crossed up by his pitcher. >> bob: ruiz does most of pitching. this is not like our catchers that catch a lot. for bako with a guy he probably has not caught many times in his career. if any until this year.   >> bob: adam dunn is jammed a bouncing ball the rollins. the inning is over. the nats on a botched double play by the phillies tie the game into the eighth. 

 >> bob: time to bring you u speed with the rewind.   at&t the nation's fastest

coming at you. >> bob: top of the 8th, clifford the nationals fourth pitcher. werth takes one inside. clifford pitched 2/3 of an inning last night in the 7th but gave up a home run. joy good pitch. come organization make a call here -- come on, make a call. gave up a home run to chase utley in the eighth. 2-0. >> bob: ball 3. every 90 feet critical at this stage of a ball game.   he was hacking on 3-0. thin about historyrd home run of the

year. >> -- his third home run of the year. >>   in the air to center, and h does get this one, halfway up the hill. and werth 33rd of the year puts the phillies back on top, and wouldn't you know it. they do it with a solo home run. his second of the series.   >> rob: they hit 5 last nig this pitch is up in the zone, the 3-0 pitch. he pulls foul. they tell you only swing 3-0 if you can crush the ball and get a home run. that time, werth hit it in center field and one of the

farthest balls hit this year. phillies may leave town with 200 home runs. they have 197 with in this series. next batter. feliz. for werth, rbi number a ton. he probay. uh-oh. now feliz gets one. and the phillies are at i again! [cheerg] and for pedro feliz, his second hit of the night and his 10h of the year.  , 2 at you see e top the lin the hitting zone. >> bob: i you see from the pitc

tracks, on taylor clifford, his fastball does not have a great deal veme. >> rob: no. and when you're throw guys hit 91, if you don't lolo kate it in or out, they will locate it on the r side of the fence. >> debbie taylor, that's 198 for the phillies who leathe league. >> bob, in the second half of the season hitting home runs has been key to nats and phillies. when the nats hit a home run they are 20-12.when the phillie run they are 28-11. this is since the all-ar break. the phillies without homers 2 - @ since the all-star break. interesting numbers. >> it's interesting. when debbie asked about that this afternoon.

jim said i don't know how to tell our guys to hit home runs. the numbers still work out that way. when you hit for power, that means you're taking goodwin and the phillies have done that in this series 7 solo home runs. their last 16 home runs, as a team have come with nobody on base. bako hits one.   0-2 to the catcher. cliff lee is on deck. he has the lead again. and it's a 2 run lead. >> and the way the phillies bullpen has struggled charlie manuel wants him out for a while. >> 19 times this season. cliff lee has pitched 7 plus inning. >> he will do it again. he's in line to do 8 again

tonight. gone 7 already. >> he's good for another. because of fact that he throws probably 80% fastball. 75 to 80% of the time he's throwing a pitches that not that hard on the arm, not a maximum -- effort pitch shall he's able to stay along more than other pitchers.   clifford this year, in 42 innings, has now given up 9

home runs. >> rob: what did drew say about the movement below the knees. >> bob: 92 at the knees than 96 at the belt. >> rob: 92 and movement. yes. point being. >> bob: maxwell for the second out, top of the order now, jimmy rollins. the dodgers are coming after the nats return for the next road trip. you can watch one of the games in style, nationals.com/win. you could see the thursday game september 24 from the comfort of a private suite with 14 of your closest friends. it will be the best night of baseball season for you and your buddies 

 if you get here early and s word to our both. we may eat some of your food for you. >> welcome in and eat your food. >> i can guarantee we will make a visit [ chuckle ] >> bob: and a pop-up left side. zimmerman back-pedaling and guzman makes the call. bottom of the 8th coming up. zimmerman, willingham and dukes. the phillies lead 6-4. using the long ball again tonight. like ryan has many times. 

 >> bob: the bottom of the 8 in washington. cliff lee pitching for phillies who lead 6-4. our copyrighted telecast presented by authority of the washington nationals and may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form without the continue sent of the washington nationals. ruiz in for the last 6 outs. to handle phillies pitchers. >> rob: same guy that started the game tonight. >> it's bako? >> rob: no, cliff lee handling a pitcher. >> got it. they want ooh ease and his --

ruiz and his teddy hand behind the -- steady hand behind the plate. >> rob: absolutely. >> bob: zimmerman does not want to get the 0-2. >> rob: lee is a good character. he's an interesting guy. he and his wife have a son, jackson, who's a children's leukemia survivor, they have been active in leukemia and lymphoma society. giving up time and money. he's a mississippi guy that went to meridian comment college before going one year to the university of arkansas before the expos drafted him in 2000. 1-2 the zimmerman. still throwing 92 here in the 8th inning. that was pitch number 100.

>> rob: we'll wear him down eventually. we got him where we want him. >> bob: okay. you feeling good about this? >> rob: i'm feeling good about this. >> bob: right there with you. >> bob: zimmerman stays alive fouling a breaking ball off his foot. >> bob: he admitted that he needed to go down to the minor leagues and recapture what got him to the major leagues when he won 18 games back with the indians. >> sometimes your pride takes a shot. the ballclub is right. >> he said, he was pitching against his strength. which is challenging people and throwing fastballs and that's why he came back by vengeance. >> he was not pitching to contact? >> perish is t thought. and now it's up and in, zimmerman on 3-2 with josh

willingham. chan ho park is ready when needed. wouldn't be surprised to see madd son being the closer tonight. last nights with the first time brad lidge was taken out for madson this year. that ball got rollins. no. howard drops the ball. >> come on. dale scott called zimmerman out and howard dropped the ball. will have to give him and error. >> rob: i thought he beat it straight up. i have to see the replay. jimmy rollins backed up on this ball and never charged. >> bob: swim gets down the line faster than they think he does. he was safe. >> he was safe. >> because the umpire made the out call first, it will be interesting to see, you would think they would give howard the error.

the ump called him out. >> willingham on a play. ryan howard will get his second error of the series. >> i think he beat the throw. here it comes. safe. >> bob: zimmerman has a hit taken away. great job gentlemen. >> bob: willingham the tying run. nobody out. s that nasty. josh raised his hand thinking it was inside and the ball still got the strike zone. >> rob: check the last pitch out on the inner half. he's throwing strikes you'll night. he's going to get that pitch. you're around the plate you get the border line. >> bob: he baited him.

that was a good pitch. >> rob: yeah. >> 0-2. >> rob: a lot of guys would have chuck out -- struck out way checked swing. >> bob: 0-2, wrapped it around the back door too far out, but great command. >> willingham 0 for 3 tonight. a bat that can explode any moment. one to right. over the scoreboard. cut off by -- holding with nobody out the tying runs are on base. >> rob: that's a good swing by josh willingham, and the key man now will be dukes. life lee may not -- cliff lee may not be long for this game. >> rob: a change-up. wept the other way with it and that will do it for clifford lee. >> the nats get 10 hits off him

and have the possible of hanging him with 6 runs. on the night he struck out 4. he did not walk a single batter and he departs with nobody out in the 8th inning and a hard charging nationals trying to get back evening. ? at some restaurants when you get boneless wings...

what are you really paying for? whoa! ha ha! i say "happy," you say "birthday!" happy... birthday! who's hungry? why pay for flair when you can get all the flavor for just $3.99 with wendy's new boneless wings. tender, juicy chicken, hand tossed in our signature buffalo or bbq sauce. it's waaaay better than fast food. it's wendy's.  >> bob: phillies and the na- 4 philadelphia. bottom of the 8th inning the nationals have knocked out

cliff lee. he could win. and ray and byron on nats xtra tonight. they will talk about garrett mock matching up against the defending cy young american league winner. jim riggleman's thoughts after the game. the game situation for dukes,.   chan ho park a long time starter not a very good e.r.a. 41 ball games, and in 80 inns -- innings, 73 strikeouts. low and away, ball one. phillies are not warming up anyone in the bullpen. >> rob: it's chan ho and it's

it. chan ho and away we go. i think he came in the other night to save a game. it was a tie game and he gave it up. >> bob: last night was the first time lidge had been pulled for madson who brought his fastball out and shut the door on the nats. >> rob: slam the door! 2-0 to dukes. who is 0 for 3 tonight,   nats better,. >> rob: like a kobe remark ready -- cobra, he's ready the strike. >> a breaking ball. >> chan ho does not throw a lot of stuff to get you out. >> bob: phillies play the infield back with a 2-run lead.

dukes chopped one foul. 2-2. bottom of the 8th inning.   >> bob: and the down is one strike.   that's close. >> rob: what a take, you kn you're going good when you take that change-up right there. or sinking fastball. that's the sinker out of the zone. >> huge pitch in the ball game coming right here. fastball way upstairs. and the bases are loaded. drop down the rad0 on that one. he dropped down and the fastball did the opposite. willie harris will bat for josh

bard with the bases loaded. it's september. you have a full dugout. time to use every guy that it takes the win a ball game.   willie started the ball gam last night. had a good ball game. hit by two pitches. that didn't feel good. >> that will bring out rich. the double and the home run felt good. so willie is starting to swing ask the bat better. pete orr remains. these phillies huddle up a lot. >> bob: i thought we were playing the eagles for a minute. okay. you're going pitch out to the fullback. >> bob: this time of the year for lots of huddles i. come on

willy.   bases loaded nobody out. the tying run at second. they are coinciding the run. we will try to get a double play right here. they'll give up one to get 2.   >> bob: willie harris has b a good pinch hitter this year, 6 for 24 with a home run, one of his 7 home runs, he hit one here last night. >> rob: come on, get off. he's way behind you. >> harris, right field, not too deep. zimmerman is holding. and a good throw by werth, harris didn't hit the ball deep

enough. one out. >> i still question holding zimmerman, willingham doubled the phillies threw it to second. they conceded the run. that's the cut off. threw it to second. they were not trying to get him at the plate. we're close to 50 game under .500 and we hold runners more than teams 20 game over .500. >> zimmerman doing what you're supposed to. come hard for a couple steps until you see throw. and now, pete orr will bat for gonzalez who is having one of his best offensive nights of the year. with 3 doubles, but you have to go with the experience of pete orr here.   >> bob: pete orr is a pinch hitter one for 2 since his

recall 2 83s abow -- weeks ago. that ball is not very deep. >> you have to go this time. zimmerman coming home. the throw is short and it's a 6- 5 game. now they will hit for the pitcher and mike morse just picked up a bat near the on- deck circle. >> rob: if you had scored zimmerman you would have willingham at second with 6-5. bunted willingham the third than would score the tying run. >> bob: what's going on here? riggleman does not have another left hand bat. >> rob: they had mike morse out there, he's been pulled back. he will go with nieves. >> bob: has to bring will in any way the catch. he does not want the burn 2 players by pinch-hitting morse and bringing nieves in to catch. >> rob: you could send him in

later. send morse to tie the game. >> bob: agreed.   >> bob: the other thing, in 9th inning, you have your top guys in lineup anyway, you're not hitting for any of them. >> rob: pat has to stop play flying it safe at third. make them make perfect throw. even the throw out the tag. short hopped ruiz. he's more worried about blocking the play than making the catch. >> bob: will knee effuses. -- nieves, 0 for one as a pinch hitter this year. tying run at 2nd base. in willingham. chan ho park trying to do a big time job, if he gets out of this with the lead, the run is

unearned. because of howard error, that will be a huge sequence for phillies.   >> rob: i think that's a hi zimmerman, i think that's the wrong call. >> bob: absolutely. because the umpire called him out when the ball getting dropped the official scorer has no other choice than to call it an error.   that's perfect on the outsi corner. chan ho park at the age of 36 throws 94.   >> bob: cliff lee's win is sitting out there for the taking or shall i say for

saving. didn't chan ho serve in the army in korea for 2 years? i'll have to check that.   >> bob: 2-2. nieves sharply howard and the big fella takes care of business that time. the nats play it close to vest in the eighth. might have cost them the tying run. they are as good as new. ya know not everyone gets to keep their unused minutes. and these days we can't afford to be wasteful. saving minutes... ...saves money. yea.

 >> pete orr stays in to pla second. will nieves stays in to catch. mike mcdougal short on save opportunities in to pitch. 

 cliff lee goes 7 plus, 5 ru earned, 10 hits. didn't walk anybody, 4 strikeout and could be the winner for the 14th time this year. have to hold the phillies here. the nats have the top of the order in the 9th. mcdouga to victorino for a strike.   and the chopper, that's trouble. the ball gets away on the throw and dukes throws to second safe. and shane victorino is in

scoring position with nobody out. that will be a base hit and an error on will nieves on the throw, his 6therror of the year. victorino off the end of the bat. better than a citizenning bun -- citizenning bunt. its that how he plays the game. the shift is on for utley.   >> rob: park avoided milita they have a mandatory 3 years of service in korea. he avoided it by leading the

korean national team to a gold medal in the 98 asian games. >> that's ultimate exception. >> he may lead the phillies the a victory with one unearned-run job in the bottom of the 8th.   >> bob: the nats didn't get hit off park in 4ab, with a walk, 2 fly balls and a grounder. >> rob: he was only the second korean signed to major leagues in baseball history. back in the late 90s there was not an influx of asian players. >> bob: park broke in with the dodgers in 94. utley, and got the runner! they got him at third.

as guzman kept chasing and chasing. and victorino almost got in there. it will go 5-6 on a fielder's choice. guzman thought he would catch up with him and victorino refused to be caught. >> rob: this is a smash, almost gets mcdougal, he had him tagged there and blip -- flips it in there. >> he got him to the tag. watch the back leg kick his glove. nope, he got the tag. they both got him.   >> bob: that takes place because of shift. debbie taylor is a lead pipe cinch to give us the true story on the big thing ryan howard springs. >> about 15 the 20-pounds and

has a couple of them. his friend owns a metal company. the nats have a metal bar, there's is 10 pounds. something popular in the game. ryan said it helps with his grip and makes the bat feel lighter. >> maybe go to a heavier pipe. we could sneak a heavier pipe in their clubhouse at night. >> rob: there's is 15 to 20, ours is 10. we're lightweights. get the 15-pounder. >> rob: not many guys are strong enough like howard or dunn to swing that 15-pound pipe. >> bob: ibanez goes with the donut on his bat. 

 >> bob: i'm a little surpri that baseball allowed that pipe to be laying on the field the entire time. >> rob: there you go. you'rehinking somewill fall on it and get hurt. >> that's what i'm thinking. >> rob: you have the other heavy bad8donut. >> bob: get a coupvirgin highway cones and put them out there so nobody runs over that thing. >> rob: what about that. going to take the ball off the field because mcdougal almost got hurt. >> bob dot think the bat boy can move that pipe. this was shot upthe middle >> here's ibanez, and he could end pretty much end the proceedings right here. one out, 2 on, in this series, he's 2 for 4 tonight, and he was 3 for 4 last night.

he he's had 2 home runs driven in 3 runs. >> rob: this will be a double play ball.   >> bob: fastball. this is the first time the phillies have seen him. gal s not the nationals the l.a. time these teams met. >> rob: the last pitch 97. >> bob: it's been over 3 months since the nationals and the phillies have seen each other. i didn't realize that, until all their broadcasters started asking me about mcdougal yesterday, you probably told them everything about mike. >> i said he was a soft tosser who couldn't get the fastball over. i lie about the scouting report. is that wrong of me? >> against the other team.

no.   >> bob: i told larry, gary matthews, jr., sure gary can't hit him at this stage in his career. werth, 2, 2 a homer. rain coming down now.   >> bob: big time cut. 2-2.   we've avoided what were predicted to be showers off and occurring the evening. it's been a delightful night. 73 at game time.

it's taken almost an hour to play these last two innings.   and a check swing. we have a breeze coming in from centerfield now, the wind has shifted from the north. and rain drops are blowing into our booth at our high perch here ♪ ♪ rain drops keep falling on my head ntsb. >> i'm worried about my laptop. i can replace the shirt. 98. that's the second out here in the 9th. burnett punched out ibanez and the 98 miles an hour moving

if he's safe we still, we're still down a run with 2 outs. and we have a chance. but, i pressure the fact that he's on 2nd base. he's facing madson. i want to focus on that's a great ability to get on base and have this coverage to steal 2nd base, you know. he got the opportunity to go. he went, a lot of people won't go in that situation. he could have been out stealing and you know, we don't hit the line drive. he could have made an out. he goes home with 2 hits tonight and had a good day. he got 3 hits and doubled off. i don't want to focus on, that i want to focus on the fact he was out there against a great arm in madson, and we had a chance, but, you know we couldn't get it done again.

>> you had several opportunities no outs, you couldn't score. >> that's it. we had first and third, no outs, and we had bases loaded no outs and each time we only got one run out that. that comes back the hahn us. -- haunt us. that's not from a lack of effort. i'm glad they are out there. they are out there against cliff lee. a cy young winner, a great pitcher, our guys got their hits and got in position to have big innings and he was able to make those innings one run instead of two or three runs. and that really cost us. >> talk about the strategy with the pinch hitters against park. >> well, we just, you know, i have confidence that bard could do something for us, but one

thing that would kill us was a double play. i felt with bard's growing and he's not a fast runner anyway, i just, i didn't feel we could have a double play. i fell willy and orr would give us a chance against the right hander. park is tough. left-handers hit him better than right-handers. i thought this is an opportunity to use our left- handers and willie just hit the ball off the end. willy has been swinging so well. i wanted to get him up there with men in scores position. he hit it to end, orr got us one run. but we needed more. >> with madson instead of lidge were you more confident? >> you know, those guys are both closers, both guys have

the ability to close a ball game. you know, it's going to be tough. lidge is on top of his game he's one of the best. madison, everybody time we see him he's been good. we have guys that have done okay against him through their careers. so, we had a punchers chance. we had a couple sluggers coming up. >> fallen hind. that cost him? >> yeah. you know, threw the first ball in on werth, and missed. and then everyone was out over the plate, you know, he's an aggressive hitter. he song and fouled the ball off. came with a fastball where he jumped all over it. it's unfortunate. he was not locating the fastball, and clifford has done a good job. he's taken the ball and done a

good job. the last couple nights he's not been able to locate it and had to pay for it. >> one inning things fell apart. other times look dominant. how do you look at that in the end. the good thing sneeze a work in progress. mead strides forward previous to his last couple outings now. and took a step backwards. but, again, it's a very good club and he kept us in the game. but, he's better than that. he's better than what he threw tonight. look for more than what we saw in the last two or three weeks before. we know it's in there. that's what we're about. trying to bring him along and solidify him as a guy to look at in the future. >> i was going to ask that too.

>> thanks jim. all right. we look at the upcoming schedule for the nationals again the phillies. one more game against the phillies tomorrow night at 7, then off to miami to take on the marlins for 3. don't forget to join us in progress on saturday night. and the phillies on the road, this time tuesday at 7. the phillies defeat the nationals 6- 5. a very impressive night for someone we hoped to get the bat going in gonzalez. 3 dubs --:00 doubles. >> he hit the ball hard. a lot of fly balls, line drive the left center field. double line drive he hit a double down the right-field line. and he scored balls. and he's able to drive over the left fielders head. maybe that's a sign he's going to hit more on the line. he does have a quick bat. he just has a tendency the hit the ball in the air. as a small man you can't do

that. tonight he made a nifty play at 2nd base. there's no doubt about his ability to play second. another guy the maxwell. and tonight, very aggressive on the base pad. >> he's a great looking athlete. he ask fly. has one of the best looking bodies. able to steal a base. things will happen. late in the year you're up here under the type of pressure he's under you make mistakes. but it was an aggressive mistake. thinking of scores. i made that same mistake in my life. you don't make them often or you don't hang around. he stole the bait and you emphasize the positive. >> i love the aggressiveness. went through a couple stop signs so he scored both runs. >> he's faster than the 3rd base coach thinking he is. >> good job by justin as he

tries to get the nationals up on top of phillies. there was rain at the end of game. the field crew covering up the field preparing for thursday night. the phillies win it 6-5. we'll have more after this. [ crowd noise in background ] [ music booming, crowd cheering ] [ music booming and crowd cheering continues ] [ crowd cheering ] ( ding ) now that college is a few years behind me, it seems i've got three times the bills i used to. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want.

york 6-3. the astros win over atlanta 2-1. in the 8th inning colorado up 2-0 over cincinnati. thats important as we look at the wildcard race, the rockies have the advantage over the giants, the marlins 5 back and trying to chase the phillies. cubs 7 1/2 back and braves 8 back. pitching important down the stretch in the wild card race. can the rockies hang on. >> the rockies play the giants 3 games starting the 14, 15th, and 16th, the dodgers play the rockies the last 30 games of the season -- 3 games of the season. i believe the giants have the best rotation, colorado has the best combination of offense and pitching and defense, right now cook is out, they just acquired contreras a 6-13.

jimenez and marquis, they have a couple guys that can shut down. the rockies are the best team out there right now. the giants have the best pitching. their offense has the a little bit to be desired, a little bit to be desired, they don't score a lot of runs, any tie you have cain on lincecum they will win down the stretch. the dodger will hang on to win that thing and the rockies look like the best opportunity to close down the wild card. what about this time tonight. the phillies with martinez and lee. that was an excellent action decision -- >> there's no question this is the best team in the game today. the yankees will be close. i believe the cardinals are solid, but the phillies when they are right, and their bullpen is right in the back

end and lidge is capable, madson capable. meyers getting heated up and ready. when you have lee and hamel at the top of rotation i don't see anyone beating them. when they are rolling they are scare a team. >> we'll see if question w committee -- we can get the plan -- blanton. >> he's pitched great. the nationals have had success again him in the past. the nats have hammered him. he has a 644 career earned run average. the nationals hitting .305 against him. he has 11 straight quality starts. he's pitched well. has not given up more than 3 runs in last 14 starts. the kid is pitching well, like he did last year. >> hernandez looking for the win in a nats uniform. he had a complete game against san diego in a loss. last time out not as good.

>> you know, livan you will get his best effort avery, every time-out. he has not won since july 26 which is 7 starts. he's won 7 games and he's a guy that was acquired to teach the young guys how to get deep in the ball game and how to throw off speed. he'll do than he's a great acquisition. >> each 9th inning had nail biting moments and obviously the nationals are not in the playoff race. it feel like a playoff atmosphere. morse, gonzalez getting anyone chances to play. this is something that will help the nationals. play on a team that's desperate to win and you're staying with them. >> when i think of this ballclub, i can think of 7 guys that have jobs here next year. so, these guys are playing for their jobs, their lives their

future in washington. and i think that every game will have a playoff atmosphere when ir playing clubs this contention. >> and very important. hopefully the nationals get at least one before they head off the face florida. the phillies against the nats thursday. tonight a hard luck loss against the phillies. nats xtra as the nationals look for one against the phils. we'll see you then.

i said i wasn't thinking about it, because everywhere i've gone this entire home stand, i've been hearing it on the streets, in cabs, at the stadium. when are you going to get a hit? and i kept telling them, i'm trying. >> it's something that without qui i will remember this day. i thought what the fans did was pretty special. >> they've been great this whole

homestand felt like i was dispointing them the first two games. but today it felt like i was getting a hit. >> i was going to ask you. did you feel the pressure at all with all the flash bulbs? >> no, you have to give credit to tampa's pitchers. i faced garza the first game. and price the last game, i think we had three hits off him as well. so they've been pitching good. you can't get four hits and one at bat. i was just trying to get a hit, and unfortunately it didn't happen. >> what does it mean to share this achievement with the legendary lou gehrig in is. >> it means a lot. i'm a yankee fan. yankee fan growing up, coming up through this organization. i know a lot about the history. and you know, what he stood for, being a cap tan. you know, he's probably one of the classiest people to ever play the game, and to be alongside him at least for a day

and pretty much anything you can do to have your name next to his is quite an accomplishment. >> what would it mean to oark strait a moment in the new yankee stadium? >> it was fun, i said that earlier. we had so many special moments across the street. this is hopefully the first of many memorable moments here at the new stadium. i think the fans have been tremendous, and it's been a lot of fun. >> can you take us through what point you decided you were going to try to bunt in that first at bat, and what was the thinking behind that strategy? >> didn't decide until like right before the pitch, because longoria was playing back. and you know, people ask was i feeling pressure to try to break this record but it was more i haven't been swinging the bat too well since we left home. i was hope to go get a few hits before the last game in toronto.

but sometimes when you're not swinging the bat well, you haven't gotten hits in a while. just getting that first hit helps you relax a little bit, so i got a good pitch to do it, but i depth decide to do it until right before the pitch game. >> is there a way to verbalize what you were thinking the moment you saw that ball skip past the first baseman into the outfield and you realized that you tied the record? >> yeah, i didn't know if he was going to catch it. i told him i owe him one for not catching it. >> he had so many cameras going on off, and the fans were anticipating it, and they were loud. you don't want to say it was a relief, but, you know, afterwards i was pretty excited that i was able to do it tonight. >> the moment itself, was it everything you imagined it to be, the way the fans showed their appreciation? >> i don't know if you really ever sit down and try to imagine it. you you just try to on enjoy it. i've had a tough time in my

career enjoying things as they happen, because i'm always trying to look to the next game. but, you know, i didn't want to go in there with any preconceived notions of what may happen. i just wanted to enjoy the moment and it was more than i probably could have imagined. >> you're still tied seeing the reaction from your fans and teammates. can you think about what it's going to be like when you break the record and move past? >> i know, man. we have a whole day off tomorr tomorrow. i'm going to have to hear about when i'm going to get another hit. >> you know, now i wish we were playing tomorrow, but we're not. i think us as a team, we need a day off. then we'll come back and hopef hopefully have some good at-bats. i wasn't having too many good at-bats, but tonight felt pretty good. >> >> derek, your parents have been

here this week. when you feel the cheers of the crowd, that's one thing. but does any part of you get emotional? what's that mean to have them here? and will they be here for the record when you do it? >> yeah, i think they're getting tired of coming every day. they sat through two games the first day, and here tonight, so i'm sure they're hoping that i can get a hit and get it over with. but my parents have been supportive. i've been vocal about that my entire career. they've always been supportive of me in anything i've done. it means a lot for me to share the experience with them. so i'm happy that i was able to do it here at home. >> what do you plan to do with the ball? >> genie will mark it up. geno pretty much wipes them up, and i'm sure it will go to my parent's house. >> you're reaching a point over here where a milestone's going to fall. i guess year after year. do you see yourself taking it a little bit more, a little bit more as you go on?

>> you know, you try to, but the bottom line is in my old career i've only cared about one thing, and that is trying to help us win. if you play long enough and you're consistent enough, some good things are going top happ happen. i know i've been told to try to enjoy these things, but it's still kind of hard. even tonight we were losing at the time. fortunately we were able to win the game. but i try to be consistent. i don't try to change anything. and like i said, if you do that long enough, i guess some good things happen. >> how much you just mentioned that the fact that you guys won the game tonight, when jorge hit that home run, did that allow you to enjoy what happened a little more. >> that's our last out, because it was still close. but, yeah. obviously when you're in this type of situation and you're talking about personal things,

it's a lot harder to enjoy if you don't win the game. jorge hit the big home run, and i think it makes en everyone a little bit happier on the team. >> absent jorge coming off the bench and hitting the big home run, how special and enjoyable has this year been in terms of what the four, you know, the four old guard guys have done. mo, and jorge, and andy pettitte and yourself? >> they're all older than i am. i don't know if old is a good way to put it. it's always fun to see guys that you grew up with accomplish some amazing things for us, you know, andy left for a little while, but for us, pretty much all of us to play our entire careers here, it's been special. and these are the things that you're going to remember the

rest of your life. so i was really happy for jorge, and i'll definitely remember that tonight when i was able to you tie this record that he hit the big home run. >> derek, over the last few years you've moved up all kinds of lists, and every time we ask you about them, you talk about how it's something you'll be able to enjoy more in the off season or after you're done playing being fourth on this list or eighth on that list. does being number one on this list hit you a little bit differently than any of those other things we've asked you about over the years? >> i have to say so. this one here, you look at all the great players that have played in this organization throughout the year years to sat you're tied for the most hits in the organization is definitely hard to believe. it means a lot. like i said. i think it means you've been consistent. this is my 14th year. i try to be consistent year in and year out. and i think that's the only way

you can obtain some of these records or have your name next to some of these guys, and i take a lot of pride in that. like i said earlier, hopefully i can play for a long time. >> what does it mean to you to see the tampa players on the top step of the dugout? >> yeah, it meant a lot to me. because i did not want to disrespect them when i was at first base. and i appreciated what the fans did, and i wanted to acknowledge them. but i felt kind of awkward because i didn't want to do anything to upset is them. when i saw them giving me an ovation, that was something that i'll definitely appreciate for a long time. >> the cycle of your tieing, passing, and from the old stadium to here, this allp happened in the week of september, the first week in september. all the dates are from the first week of september what does it mean besides an he motion as you

prepare to perhaps going into the playoffs? this whole cycle? >> well, i think now the most important thing for everyone on our team is to remember first we haven't accomplished anything yet but we're looking forward to hopefully he getting the opportunity to play in the playoffs. so you want everyone to sort of get into a groove. i think it's just coincidence that it happens to be in september. but you want everyone to be healthy and feel good about themselves going into the postseason if we're able to do. but i think it's more of a coincidence. >> top stories on the way here on espnews. including team usa getting closer and closer to clinching a berth in next year's world cup.
