lost his cool at work today. >> yeah and if you're a little kid watching. >> that's bad. >> don't follow his actions. >> no, listen to your coach, all right nationals' center fielder nyjer morgan is a team first guy and loves to joke around in the clubhouse, he's the one who started the player the game tradtition season handing out an elvis wig to one lucky teammate after each one, you know that one, now what we did in center field no joke, what he did was inexcusable. throwing his glove down after not making it a play, and let's be honest a lot of people will throw them right under the bus for this and it is warranted. how it went down at nats park j j jim riggleman trying to get back. crushes it to left, good piece of hitting. two-run homer. game tide at two. just like that. but it would unravel. pretty quickly. to the fourth, still tied at two. adam jones at the plate with a runner on, craig stamins pitch,

deep to center, nyjer morgan tracking it and he can't make the catch so he gets so mad he throws his glove to the ground. morgan thought that the ball went over the fence. josh willingham races to get it, adam jones hustling around the bases inside of the park home run. when asked about it incident niger said "my emotions got to me there because i knew i should have had the ball," but you can't do that craig, and chuck bell says it's a $10,000 fine for that. >> i would think so. >> yeah, well bottom six nats down five they come back. get her done. cristian guzman come in to score. nats take a 7-6 lead. then in the ninth matt capps on to close it out, gets a soft bouncer to third. ryan zimmerman he's soiled. fields this, throws to first to end the game. matt capps 16 for 16 in saves. leads the big leads. here's jim riggleman on nyjer morgan. >> my first instinct was to take

him out of the ball game and then i realize you know what, he thinks the ball went over the fence, he thought that he knocked it over the fence, and it's -- you know it's a home run so he's showing frustration that doesn't excuse it, and i don't want it to be perceived as an excuse but it explains it. you know he made a human error, he didn't -- not hustle, he didn't do something you know, it was a horrible thing. he made a terrible mistake. >> i think this is one of our bigger wins of the season because of the way that the game kind of transpired. we had a lot of things that didn't go our way, and you know, the play was nyjer morgan. >> the nationals do find a way to win. injury news pudge rodriguez left today's game with lower back pain and also the nats put left-handed pitcher scott olson on the 15-day disabled list because of left shoulder tightness. turning now to college lacrosse. after the death of virginia senior yeardley love, cavaliers'
