score is 3-2 at that point and time. here comes adam dunn on the 3-0 pitch. hits a 91-mile an hour fastball and we figure it's going to drop into the outfield, no, over the fence for his ninth home run and that ties the game at 3. >> zimmerman has a couple of hits, bernadina you see had a couple of hits. adam dunn's home run, the ninth of the year for dunn. luis atilano, 0-2 with a strikeout. the nationals fall 4-3. there were some terrific defensive plays executed by the nationals ball club. let's look at one, a double play early in the ball game. >> here we are in the bomb of the 1st inning. a low toss to desmond from guzman. but he gets the double play. later on in the ball game. there's another lookout the throw from desmond to adam

dunn. 7th inning, is bunt attempt here by dexter fowler and maybe a little gift from the up peer because it looked like guzman was off the bag. but fowler is called out and an out is an out. that brings up -- here we go again as he goes up in the air. >> his foot is there. >> he was safe. the umpire -- blinked, whatever. those things happen. then in the 8th inning, after a strikeout to helton, paul phillips -- i'm sorry, this is the troy -- this is the clint barmes ground out there. this was -- this was basically a game where it wasn't a bad effort. it wasn't a great effort either, but the nationals were in the game until the end. jason hammel pitched fairly well. luis atilano pitched fairly well. it so happened when the winning run scored, one of those things, a throw that probably

could have been handled by adam dunn at first base. once the throw hits the ground, the error is on the shortstop. >> jim riggleman rested the bullpen. sean burnett pitched the 6th and 7th and then walker the 8th. >> right, here we are go. the strikeout of helton there. a tough out by any pitcher. and then phillips gets the single to the hole -- not to the hole, fielded by guzman and the throw is wide. he had that throw beat anyway. here comes the throw off the glove. into the ground, bounces up. adam dunn can't hold it. the fourth run, the winning run crosses the plate. tulowitzki is out there. then he gets a ground out from clint barmes as well. again, third to first. long throw. zimmerman again one of the best in the business. but look, for sean burnett got the job done, an unearned run.

he had two strike outs and didn't walk anybody. tyler walker gave up one hit. he has established himself as a right-handed presence in the nationals bullpen after a rocky start. >> walker is yet to have an opponent score against him. two good efforts tonight from burnett and walker. everybody is talking about stephen strasburg these days. there is somebody else you may want the look at. we'll talk about that when we come back right here on masn postgame. ♪ all right! achievement looks forward to dinner at home. achievement enjoys newfound freedom. i love you.

play. look at him here. solidly built, 5'1"1, a couple of extra pounds. a pretty decent defensive play as well. i'm going to guess they're looking at him for delivering in nats park in 2012. he runs well and fields well. doesn't hit that many home runs, but gets on base a lot. >> he went 3-4 tonight in the win over wilmington. in the clubhouse, ian desmond was asked about the 7th inning play. >> you know, it's a tough play. you know, i expect myself to make it. but you know, just the way it goes sometimes. >> ian, jim said that he was pleased with the way you guys played today. didn't show up in the -- you know wins and losses, but what did you think about the two losses? >> we played defense and pitched well, unfortunately, we couldn't put the offense up to walk with the w. but tomorrow is another day, we're going to come back and battle them again like we always do.

>> is it a little disheartening from the momentum of game one of the series? >> it's never fun to lose, especially now, uses to winning over here and it's good to have a little bit of the bitterness and taste in your mouth. but yeah, these two hurt a little bit. it stinks losing two in a row especially on the same day. >> ow nice to see -- how nice to see adam dunn's bat light up? >> it's good. there are sines we're going to get hot and take off. we keep on pitching and playing defense and we'll be in ball games and put ourselves in good situations. >> the final tonight is the rockies win it 4-3 with an unearned run in the 7th inning. we'll take a break and come tack and talk about the sorting pitchers tomorrow -- starting pitchers tomorrow and talk with luis atilano about the game. the cockries have taken two of the three games against the nationals.

in this day night doubleheader, the rockies take both games, 6-2 and 4-3. tomorrow on masn 2, that will be starting al 3:10. phil and i will be with you at 2:30. then monday in choice as well as tuesday night, the ball club back home on wednesday and thursday against the mets before the orioles come down for a series next weekend at nationals park. welcome back everybody. johnny holliday, phil wood with you. great to have you with us tonight. luis atilano was asked by debbi taylor to evaluate his performance tonight. >> i feel pretty good about it. i was goaling great tonight -- feeling great tonight and feeling better on my mechanics and some command on my pitches as well. but still falling behind too many batters. that's not just me.

i'm going to work to get on my track. >> what's the biggest thing you have to do to correct that to get ahead better? >> just keep doing what i do and try not to think too much on the pitches and i don't know. just keep doing and trying to do and i think be successful. >> with the pitch to gonzalez, probably right where you wanted it or close to it. >> i didn't think it was a bat selection of pitches. -- bad selection of pitches. i should have thrown a change- up. but things happened during the game. he hit it pretty good though. >> what was the pitch? >> it was a curveball. but it's okay. i guess, he had a -- they hit it down. i've got to give it to him. >> what about the one -- the mistake on your part? the other home run? >> just missed my spot. you miss your spots, you're going to get hurt. that's what happened in that one. >> i guess the news about marquee being gone -- marquis being gone might make you here

longer. how do you feel? >> i feel comfortable. i know i can -- how long i've been here, i've been throwing good. but i think i got a lot more to show. hopefully, take it around more. >> how important was it for you to go more than five innings? take more pride? >> yeah, i would like -- every outing i go out there, i always try to go six, seven innings. unfortunately, i'm not doing it because i'm falling too deep on the counts of the hitters. i'm going to get to get that done. >> you got to love the guy's comment. he knows exactly what he did wrong. he said i'm missing the first couple of pitches. walking too many batters, i'm going to go work on that. >> it is a good sign and missing your spots is what it's all about. pitching in the mayor leagues is about throwing enough strikes to make the hitters miss the ball. >> coming up tomorrow, scott olsen gets the ball at coors field.

>> some great outings with the nationals. look, this guy was an afterthought almost. started the year off the roster and came back and pitched exceptionally well and listen, this is the only team that beat him this year with his shortest outing and he wants to atone for that. jeff francis, his first start of the year. they have very, very similar starts, but -- stats, but francis coming off the surgery on his left shoulder. he missed the entire '09 season. on the d. l. since the start of the year with the sore left shoulder. but you can see there again, their lifetime stats, very similar. obviously francis is over .500. he's been with a better team, but in terms of walks and strikeouts, again, very similar. francis is coming off a long period of inactivity. >> the 51 wins for jeff francis, the fourth highest pitcher with wins in rockies history.

let's hope he can come back. >> he's been a quality starter at times, but an e.r.a. of 4.7. you give up a lot of runs. >> today the rockies had it going for them. adam dunn went deep in the first and second game, but colorado wins it and they sweep the day night twin bill 6-2 and 4-3. for phil wood, i'm johnny holliday. see you sunday afternoon at 2:30 as the nats take on the rockies. all in our authentic spicy chipotle sauce that's worthy of our all breast meat chicken. wait till you taste how it comes together. introducing wendy's spicy chipotle boneless wings. real is in the ingredients... and try the sweet & spicy asian or honey barbeque. ♪ you know when it's real ♪ there's nothing quite like the frosty. have a cool creamy wendy's frosty today!

is going to shoot the 3-point shot. >> as important as it is to have a guy guarding, you know, howard straight up, probably as important for us to stay in front of nielsen. the double penetration actually cree yeas more 3's in their post game. >> if you wanted out of the east, you had to beat orlando. and i wanted our guys to make sure they had focus on that. >> i think it will be played the right way. the sky is the limit for us. you know, we're -- we should win this series. we have to believe that, and we have to understand that. it's not going to be easy, but if we -- i keep telling these guys if we do the things that we know how to do and control them then we should win. >> this city salt lake hungry like cleveland was hungry. i think there is a lot of cities that haven't had the success that say boston and la have had, that are really hungry for it. we would like nothing better,

clearly, for ourselves, for our fans, for our organization to win a title. >> the magic taking three out of four from the celtics during the regular season. orlando eliminating boston in the conference semis last season. it was the celtics first loss in a best of serve series when having a lead. orlando won game six and zenobia combined 27-points. and the catch all things in the nba playoffs celtics at magic after the game, doing it right here, we will have all your post game press conferences everything you could have or want right here. i like the way that sounds. two of the majors heavy hitters ryan howard and prince fielder meet in milwaukee. who will swing the big bat. 34 years of age, marion jones is

so the british rushed out and built a huge wooden box about 6 inches thick because they were afraid it might be defaced with the protest going blind the to-- bush was in london with tony blair probation could have gotten a photograph but i didn't. this is the famous statue that appears in the london parliament square. be saw that last year. that is the original gardens of famous lincoln statue and chicago, lincoln park. they view it a little bit different there in the london england to. but i am not so sure that is defacing link and other than

a cultural statement o the hot heads. [laughter] the more modern sculptors coming out in the last few years in keeping with us and our advanced way of thinking they want us to shake hands with them and say how were you? there is a good friend of mine in westfield new york this statue was put up the little girl who wrote the letter that said if you grow a beard because your face is so thin and narrow they would vote for you and the election and you would become president so he did. he grew a beard. the lincoln trail this through louis iii states and a trail that is marked out following a migration

route to from kentucky where he was born, indiana to where he grew up and illinois where he lived. the lincoln trailed commission claims there are 3,000 historical markers in these three states marking historical sites of abraham lincoln and entire village recreated in every detail do is salem state park in 1831 o 1837 where he said he went to college. it is a very lovely place. it is the day replication of the village you can really step back in history. the first time we went there i called the director at a time and said it would be possible to get in at 4:00

p.m.? three talks to while and he said okay. we went in between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. all by ourselves as the sun comes up it was an inspirational moment to say the least. the united states chamber of commerce says fifth the 500 businesses in united states have the name lincoln many are financial corp's link and savings-and-loan trustworthy, honest, reliable , so they capitalize on the image association of lincoln as an honest and trustworthy individual as the

constitution honest and trustworthy would never live with a bank statement. less esoteric. [laughter] this is my favorite. [laughter] and it gets better. why not by a pillow than is filled with husks? he did because he had trouble with in sony and sleeping at night so he slept on a pillow. of course, he did not. that is total nonsense. [laughter] and even if he did it would have no effected of his insomnia there should be a warning on hear that alcoholics should not use is below. [laughter]

-- below their run nine churches that had dedicated stained-glass windows only three churches he was associated with. the other six have no association this happens to be in washington the next is the lincoln church in washington d.c.. and they chose this window because while the presbyterians and neil link can always stood up in the middle of the congregation so that shows him standing and praying. this is the abraham lincoln presenters association. i believe there are over 105 individuals who represent themselves says abraham lincoln through a marvelous -- marvelous job talking to other children carrying the message for a

pretty one will listen. they meet wants per year for their annual meeting i the guy a counted 11 mary todd and when george washington. misses the and no meeting in charleston west virginia i have the honor of being the banquet speaker and you can imagine anxiety standing up looking out. [laughter] telling them all about themselves. [laughter] it was quite anxious but we had a great time. of on a mountain ridge i had to put this in here. this is a famous lincoln in presenter who got lost and saw that i lived on lincoln's real and followed it to my house.

weekend is the number 110 up a boy he is on more magazine covers than any other person in the united states. there are over 7500 different post cards of abram lincoln you could spend the rest of your life trying to collect them all. the catalog is slightly over 1200 think in metals metals -- metals. look at that. what does that commemorate? either his assassination or his barber. [laughter] you find it strange things in this field. postage stamps and joe mentioned and i read in the

paragraph there were 64 u.s. postage stamps. but he also appears on 58 foreign postage stamps commemorating everything from the proclamation to his assassination. the penny. not much you can do with a penny today but it was the first going in which a real president was shown. up to this point* so a great controversy broke out there was a precedent being set if we should do this in once they decided we should do it, the question was not on the penny. that is to lowly. put him on a silver dollar but they opted for the penny

because it was the most common in every schoolboy in america had 1 penny in his pocket there for every schoolboy had an image of abraham lincoln they considered that the most important point*. it is not true there are things you can do with a penny. he took 800,000 pennies and laid them platt and glued them together and made it this bust of abraham lincoln. it looks more like him who. [laughter] 800,000 pennies weighs 800 pounds in his best friend is from canada so he put 200 canadian pennies in with the others. lincoln has appeared in more motion pictures, 212 movies.

here is this elevation to this almost seemed like character it is very ironic and it shone seven -- shows how it takes off the sharp edges abraham lincoln is the most divisive president in the history of the united states. of the 33 states that voted in 1860, lincoln was not on the ballot in 10 of them. of the 23 that remained the only 117. he won the presidency with only 39% of the popular vote. no one has even come close. how can you win the presidency with only 39% of

the popular vote road -- pro? al gore want with a $65 and plurality. it is because of the electoral college of course, he wins new york new jersey ohio and pennsylvania the bulk of the electoral votes. he won 56% of the electoral votes on 39% said you truly was a sectional president obviously. i did a little calculation and figured in the 1864 election if you put back in the 11 states that seceded and counted the eligible voters and ran in the 1864 election he still would have lost getting only 47%. he was a minority candidate president which resulted of

course, of the secession in. the hatred brand so high there were eight plots that we know of that we can document to either kill or remove 40 killed or kidnapped or captured. >> he was 56 years old five weeks into his second administration had already opted for limited black suffrage and had even spoken about the possibility of female suffrage. he had some pretty big ideas in terms of civil rights and as a result became a target for many people not just john wilkes booth.

he was one month shy of the 27 per day and at the top of his game. matinee idol led greatest star with no enemy and was well liked, generous, outgoing, h elpful when interesting thing you not find in many of the books that i think is very relevant is he quit his acting profession 11 months prior to the assassination of. june and july and august he transferred all of his assets out of his name into his mother, older brother and sister. by september he was out of work coming out of income and assets and flat broke and spent the full year plotting the death of abraham lincoln.

i think one thing you need to keep in mind is the assassination of abraham lincoln was the afterthought. that was not the plan. the plan was to capture and kidnap turn it over to the confederate leadership for he would now become a pawn either for a prisoner exchange for a piece conference or some sort of settlement with the confederacy. the assassination only came after richman fell and was evacuated by the confederates and lincoln's value dropped considerably so bruce decided he would go to plan number two and that was not revenge because the

targeted andrew johnson who was assassinated the same night, secretary of state william seward would be assassinated by lewis powell and his sidekick david. the object being to decapitate the federal government in one fell swoop and secretary of state, president, vice president and originally ulysses s. grant what had happened to the government had this been successful? the idea being it would throw the union into chaos and allow the confederacy some breathing time to regroup and pull itself back together. people the realize there

were 160,000 confederate troops in the theater. many of those there were three major army still in the field richard taylor and joe johnston equipped and fighting. and hindsight it is foolish but when you are grasping for straws and your country is going down the will reach for anything and it is not unreasonable on their part. this is the map of the escape route following the assassination running through southern maryland over the potomac river into king george virginia where

it all pence april 26 this is 108 miles and ford's theatre there are 13 stops along the way and i want to point* out a couple things that and not normally pointed out that you should think about. the distance from ford's theatre to the potomac is 65 miles the average travel is 5 miles per hour. maybe nine or 10 at a fast gallop economical short distance with that. it would have taken booths 10:30 p.m. when he shot link into some time around 9:00 in the morning to reach the potomac river which means sunrise at by both i am that means he wouldn't ride through roughly 3-1/2 hours of daylight in the area that is teaming with troops. of course, he would never do that.

he would be caught almost immediately all of this was played out ahead of time and just rolled over. a he needed some place to stopover and wait until might fall and he only travels at night. nine during the day until he gets into virginia. he cannot travel to daylight in this territory. it is exactly midway between ford's theater and the potomac river. 30 miles and 25 miles. ford's theater was the ideal venue and a bootht new its well and have performed their 13 locations once while lincoln was in the theater.

it was structured perfect. this is a diagram of the theater and set up such he could come in the back alley and leave his horse here. and enter the theater backstage and go through a dugout cellar beneath the stage and cross left to right there by eight missing the stage and came up on the other side of to the alley and entered the theater shoddily again jet jump to the stage year ran out the back door for his course was safely kept so it is the perfect venue. he can only injure the theater from the front and an only booze and could make this type of maneuver.

mrs. as it exists a couple of years ago now the buildings had been torn down. mounted and ridden straight when he got here he turned a banality -- up the alley. this is ford's theatre. this is the fbi building so ford's theater is right about year he exited this way and we lose track but we picked him up here on the south grounds of the capital he is seen riding hard down independence avenue. the next thought is that the navy yard bridge which crosses the river.

he gets to the bridge and all other brand -- bridges are guarded by the military and no one needs or interests after 9:00 p.m. at night. but it is able 14 in the guards are lax when booth writes that the sergeant questions him and asks his name and he says something very strange. he gives his name. i am john wilkes booth. he said where you going? i am going home. where is that? charles counties to make you must live in the village he said i live in be in town the. >> that is where dr. mudd lives. self when he hit that bridge within 50 minutes from the shooting wink and he knew he

was going to do dr. blood's house it is nonsense if he never broke his leg he was headed there all along as his first save house stopover. from here he goes to the tavern that is 50 miles southeast of washington. this was built in 1852 and served as a post office but the postmaster died in 1862 levying mary was quite a few debts. and three children so in 1864 mary abandoned the tavern by leasing it to john lloyd $600 per year that is her at the time the only known picture of her and her

son john. that is post war in the papal guard uniform. he joined before he was captured. she moved to washington d.c. to the town hall -- townhouse acquired 1853 and set it up as a boarding house for her john and her daughter then rented out several rooms. it still exist today in the chinese section of town. just before this it was the wok and roll. the owners have been so tight they will not allow anybody up there. i would love to see what it looks like. booth arrives a little after midnight and they pick up a

rifle but booth could not carry one so he had to ride with his left leg to three he had to hold onto the horse with his hand but harold picked up and booth picked up the binoculars the very broad down earlier in the day. earlier that day booth had gone to the house and met with merry and asked her to take it down to the surratt house and people would be by this evening to pick up the shooting irons. that put her on the gallo that she knew there was a plot at hand that day. the about 1215 pm they left and headed for the home of

dr. mud's. this is the farm as a looks today the only difference is there are no slave cabins back here. cereal and his father and james all live on contiguous land 1700 acres that they formed contiguous leave tobacco farmers primarily and they owned teenine slaves up. the largest slave owning family in charles county. they arrived at 4:00 a.m.. from the surratt house you'll see they plan to go there all along because the 5 miles from her that is exactly the time it would take you to get to the dr. mud house. they went inside and dr. mud

dressed the leg until 7:00 p.m. saturday night. son 7 + 7 '05 p.m. that is just about when they set out again on the rest of the travels. dr. mud 32 years old, a graduate of the university of maryland medical school. i searched the records a great deal and cannot find any bills, letters come anything to indicate that dr. mud actually practiced medicine with the population. eastern the practiced with the family and with the slaves and took care of the 89 slaves but i think he was braley a tobacco farmer second year of the heat was a position. -- physician when booth

arrived it was the fourth time the two men had gone together in the last five months and during those times he had arranged meetings he introduced other conspirators to booth agreed to join the plot there's a lot going on between dr. mud and booth leading up to the assassination and i jumped the gun but i usually say there i enough to write a book about. someone did. this is a map of the neighborhood. here is dr. mud house here is a racked up here and they came down this way past the church to a warehouse. here is being down. here is brian down. it was filled with union

troops. saturday dr. mud went into uniontown it was filled with soldiers and came back and told booth when he left at 7:00 to go to the next stop the home of colonel cox it was straight through brian down. but dr. mud swung around and met with a may and a free black who lived here. know this because we have affidavits of these people. why would herald a and booth the swing around brian town of list they knew there was heavy troops? they went miles out of their way. obviously dr. mud told them don't go through brawny intel there is federal troops. they got to swan and asked

if he could leave them across the swamp to the home of the captain cox and he said yes. he gave him $5 and this is the next stop along the way. they stayed in the house until 6:00 a.m. when cox a confederate agent sent for the overseer and have them take and hide them in a pine thicket until they could arrange to get them across the potomac river from 6:00 a.m. for the next five-- booth and harold met to i am sorry that is captain cox. we know the approximate location of the plane thicket because it is opposite the house that was

later built and the man later wrote a book and described as coming directly across so we know it is a hidden in here sunday until thursday night. thursday afternoon the man that was carrying for him a bunch of soldiers broke yen and said booth was spotted st. mary's counties so let's go so they rode up thomas jones knew they were there that was the opposite direction is so he said now is the opportunity. he goes back to the thicket and gets herald and booth and said tonight is the night. he was a confederate agent for buy failed to mention but every single stock was

part of the confederate secret service the escape route was known as the confederate male line from washington to richmond to baltimore to new york and montreal it passed documents up and down the line. it existed all through the war the staffed by confederate agents and booth tapped into them and given their a dollar the way. this is the top signal service agent jones. this is his house huckleberry provide did want to mention is every single one of these places still exist today. they are under private ownership two of them are public the sderot house and dr. mud house our public it makes for a marvelous tour you can see all of the

places it does not change much except for the siting and improving the we have a picture when it was a day log house identical with the three dormers. here is the pine thicket. takes them down to this short of the potomac river and now 9:00 p.m. at night this is the spot from where they launched to go across. if you virtu turn to your right to if you just look you will see where it was hit the boat was hidden for one week. they pull it out he pointed

in the direction on the compass and it was for this point* here. this is maryland. because at this point* the river takes a sharp s turnsole late at night euro across the river using a compass and a candle how the tide and current could easily take you up forever and that is what happened day and up on the maryland shore. they bed down two nights and one day until it is safe to cross once more than they set out again. hot and this time day

successfully cross the point* and make their way slowly down the shoreline to the home of the elizabeth was a very another confederate agent and thomas jones said go down to mathias point* he will come to the home of the elizabeth and she will take care of you. this is our house now right outside dalton virginia she cents for the confederate agent who brings to sources and his sidekick and tells brian to take herald and booth to doctors seward's house for he will be taken care of next. this is the man that set up a special meeting to introduce john wilkes booth and as a result from this

point* he provided the courses and a guide that took a boost to sue words. this is his summer home where he arrived in the evening but he was an extraordinarily wealthy man a confederate agents arrested twice both times in some how had gotten word that the assassination that they were coming down the line and did not want anything to do with them so he refused them shelter but gave them third and a dinner than is sent them across the property and said you can stay with them which they did. he was extraordinarily resentful and wrote in his diary a little note to the fact that sauce meaning it is the manner in which you receive some one that

matters and you did not receive me very well as a southern gentleman. that was richard stewart married to robert tv. that is the regular home right next to mount vernon a magnificent matt -- mansion still in the family. from the elizabeth quizenberry william lucas puts them in the wagon and goes all the way down to the river where they arrive money morning. this is the crossing at the rappahannock river. today it is a boat ramp it has since been replaced. here they meet the three confederate soldiers that

take them across the rappahannock river the end of the line. they arrive monday evening and booth thinks he is home free and virginia finally but friends sleeping in bed with a good hot food. little does he know that they troop of cavalry has been on his tail since monday morning and finally catch up with him at the garrett farm. very early wednesday morning 2:00. that is richard garrick. this is the unknown unpublished photographs given by a good friend to uncover this with his research. that is old man richard garrett who owned the farm house. the troops cornered herald and booth in the tobacco

barn and negotiated for a couple of hours. the troopers refusing they wanted to take him alive and the negotiations were not going anywhere. so one of the men said fire with the idea of smoking them out. before they could come a one of the soldiers shot with a very lucky shot hit him and then back it the cervical vertebrae and cut the spinal cord rendering him paralyzed from the neck down. he was dragged from the barn and laid on the porch where he remained alive r about an hour and a half before he finally died of
