they were wrong. >> bob: first up will be alberto gonzalez.hen the nats will probably use ronny belliard in the number 9 spot. the other two guys have very little big league experience in the new that mike morris and jorge padilla. so here is depose. one for three on the night, but he's hit two line drives. and a base hit by alberto gonzalez, who has a two-hit game for the first time in a while. show something signs of life after a couple of key hits in the series at cincinnati. >> rob: well, and he lined the bail back to the pitcher, got a a base hit in another at bat, and so now he's confident, gets a breaking ball and shoots it through third and short. like you said, sometimes just takes a couple of hits or a paul hit off your bat to get company going. >> bob: and now ronnie belliard will hit for wil nieves, not josh bard, but appears bard will hit in the number. 9 hole. so the fact that the lead-off guy got on changed everything for riggleman, and he wents to go to belliard who can hit the bah out of the balance park. >> rob: yeah, and he'

to the law, that the problem the bush administration got into was when it was perceived that alberto gonzalezming from the white house. i might add there is a problem with politicization of the c.i.a. don't forget the arguments about whether or not the vice president cheney and others were demanding that the c.i.a. give them certain information to justify pre-existing ideas. >> juan, we know that's not true! >> but that is the whole notion of politicization if you want to get into the c.i.a. and their problems. steve pressman, the c.i.a. lawyer went to holder directly and said to him, these things have been investigated, as fred said, and they have been found not to be the basis for further investigation. why do we need holder to come in at this time and start a new investigation? apparently holder is of the mind that congress will have their own investigation, and you can't have the administration get caught a step behind while congress is running off, and this possibly could be a moderating force. >> you have career prosecutors who have looked at this and decided it was not something you wo

were dots and lines, has the process in your opinion still been half baked and allowed rove and alberto gonzalezey general and others to stone wall for too long, to decrease the relevancy of the crime? >> no. no. the process has been working. it's taken a long time because of the stone walling, because of executive privilege arguments, but i believe the fat lady has yet to sing, so i am hopeful that this matter will be ultimately wrapped up in a just way. >> all right. you've led me into it. what is the wrapping up, which way, and which is the just way? >> that would depend on the nature of the documents that nora danahy had access to that conyers did not. possible crimes would be perjury, obstruction of justice, things of that nature. but remember, she has to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt and she has to avoid taints of a political prosecution, so i wish her god speed basically. >> yeah. and it's extraordinary, none of the people who moved against you had to worry about the taints of political prosecution. they simply did not care. the former u.s. attorney david iglesias. great thanks

remember the name rachel peloze the 33-year-old former office assistant to alberto gonzalez best friendmonica goodling? somehow she wound up as the u.s. attorney for minnesota where she mishandled classified information and gave an employee enough ammunition for 96 discrimination lawsuits by referring to that employee with terms like "fat" and "black" and "ass" and "lazy" and four of her top lieutenants demoted themselves in protest. she is working for us again and has been hired by the miami regional office of the securities and exchange commission and in her new job she does not even have to use a mop. number two, bush, bush whogate. at least eight former bush administration staffers now running for office according to the hill. at least one is running away from his past. tim nank former bush counterterrorism staffer running for the virginia house of delegates saying, quote, president bush's popularity rating is obviously very low and i think the people in my district would probably not look favorably on that. i haven't had a lot of people ask me where i worked. they usually ask me wh

ultimately, the alberto gonzalez led justice department did put out a favorable statement about rickblicansy contributing the policy which is to not comment on on going investigations. mr. renzie, following that statement, went on to win his re-election. and then he was indicted on more than 30 counts. missouri, kit bond had issues with the u.s. attorney there. what to do about it? call casual rove's office. todd grays ended up losing his job in a deal that the white house made. they agreed to fire mr. graves in order to make senator kit bond happy enough that he would drop a hold he put on one of bush's judicial appointments. according to the house judiciary committee, it was an explicitly political deal to get rid of this u.s. attorney to keep this one senator happy. who was at the center of it? a white house e-mail obtained by congress states, "karl is fine with the replacement." what was it being manipulated for then? the weather? there is the case of fired u.s. attorney david iglesias investigation. it proves mr. rove's role in these fires was not proved. it's been proved in new

alberto gonzalez. next up is the catcher.national league central. wow. looked quicker than 91. >> rob: they did and miss it. that's why i don't believe in guns. the hitters will let you know how you're throwing and he threw the ball by cameron. he doesn't miss many fastballs. >> bob: those two pitches so far right by rivera.   one ball and two strikes catcher. good-bye! strike out number two by clippard and the nationals are one out away from a badly- needed win after losing their first five games on this homestand. >> rob: flew by you. watch the late-break movement of this four-seam fastball. almost like a 92-mile-an-hour cutter. >> bob: and jody gerut, the hitter. an rbi last at-bat. stammen give up three runs on five hits, only one walk, pitched to contact, only struck out one batter and is in line for his fourth major league win. 2-0 from clippard.

here is alberto gonzalez.   jorge padilla in the on-deck circle. evidently garrett mock done for the night.   rockies 2, nats nothing, jaso hamell pitching well, only one clean single on him tonight. that was by adam dunn. that baby bounced way out in front of home plate. >> rob: you were right. .379 on larry walker. 372 on helton, larry walker .366, 363, helton .358.350 on walker.   . >> bob: wow.    .379. well that was higher than i thought. i had the .372 but that was todd helton the year he won the batting title. it was an interesting dynamic in colorado as larry walker's time came to an end and todd helton's time was just beginning. there seemed to be some sort of obsession out there about, well, this was larry's team and now it's becoming todd's team. i thought the team belonged to the fans and the owners but, evidently, players figuring prominently. gonzalez lines out hard to right and two outs, bases empty, here eh padilla will be the third out for the nats

his name is alberto gonzalez, he's 28 years old, high school graduate, self-taught programmer and, needlessy, he is a huge star in the cyberunderworld. the feds say that he and two unnamed co-conspirators hacked into huge corporate computer networks and secretly placed malicious software on them, which allowed them backdoor access to steal data into these millions of accounts. now, gonzalez is already in jail for allegedly stealing 40 million other accounts. this is, you know a much smaller scam, if you will. and i put that in quotes. yeah. he's sort of like that movie, "catch me if you can" leonardo dicaprio. he's this big scam artist and he helps authorities with legitimate -- with legitimate, you know, programs, except that he then once again delve under to the underworld, according to authorities. and it just goes to show you that the breaches into this very personal information for all of us, they keep getting bigger, rick. >> when we say they stole, some people are reporting he stole 140 million credit cards. he didn't take the credit cards, he got into accounts that gave him access t

dunn right now. >> and he blows a fastball by him and the count is even, 2-2.   >> bob: alberto gonzalezed this inning off with an infield hit. 2 outs later. adam dunn hangs tough with the lead runner zimmerman at first and the count remains 2-2. >> bob: if the inning continues there's hammer waiting.   95. by the way in the next half inning we'll give you an update to status of those tickets. evidently the one dollar tickets on line have sold out. there will be more available on friday. 2 on, 2 out in a one-run game. bottom of the 7th. and a big slow breaking ball way outside. this will get zimmerman moving at first. todd helton will play behind him now. which you need to do against a left hander like dunn.   and he will take a fastball that strikes him out! adam dunn's 135k of the year. the nationals strand 2. they have left 7. 18 runners stranded in this game tonight.   >> bob: lots of folks hangi out in nats down. on to the eighth. top of the order. sosa pitching. the rockies continue to lead 4- 3. let's clarify everything for the 1000, $1 tickets.

alberto gonzalez is at second base and wil nieves is the catcher. it will be, of course, j.d.today. so we're back in action here. byron kerr and ray knight alongside phil wood. the marlins are going to have some changes in the next few years with the new stadium, but there could be other changes as well. >> opening day 2012, the marlins move into a new ballpark, and on that day thank you will no longer been the florida marlins, they'll be the miami marlins. south florida got a major league ball club with the 1993 expansion, and the owner, he is going to put a winner on the field. in 1997 they were world champions. after the world series, he tore the team apart. he said it was too competencive to win. he wanted out. he was going to sell the club. he got rid of his better players and in 1998 the marlins went 54-108. now, the club was sold and they put better players on the feldt and in 2003 they won the world series again as a wildcard team, but they knew they needed a new ballpark in south florida. well well, the politicians were a little slow on the get do and it took until ma

alberto gonzalez is next. >> rob: hitters will let you know who you -- what you're featuring on any givenight. 21 straight, that let -- lets you know how good josh johnson has been. >> bob: no way for hermida to get there. >> rob: he has some new wood this at-bat after breaking his bat in the last at-bat and see how it works. >> bob: and that was not on the swing he broke it. and gonzales rips one up the middle. that's the best contact he has made in a while. two on and nobody out. >> rob: short and sweet. right to the point. he took the fastball right up the middle. not time for a big long swing. time to swing down on it and chop it right back up the middle. you see that quick swing. he has been missing that the last couple of weeks. a guy throwing that hard, still throwing in the low to mid 90s, he is applying the power. all you have to do is make some contact. >> bob: the one thing the nats lack tonight with ryan zimmerman not playing and willie harris starting is a bona fide left-handed bat off the bench. so ronnie belliard, a right- hander is on deck to hit for ron villone. if you're

. alberto gonzalez, went backhand on that ball. and here at the top, collin balester hasin -- -- roberto clemente bridge i the backyard. it wouldn't be sunday without d into. here is delwyn young, 1-6 series, and he's hitting .311, he did play some infield, but the pirates now want him to on second base after freddy sanchez departed. 0-2. he got jammed. zimmerman charges. cuts it off. belliard did stay on. ronnie wasn't on the bag for more than an instant, and zimmerman was pointing off  the bag. not a good throw by ryan. >> rob: nope. let's see how ryan does on e stretch. a little bit off the bag. but we'll take it. >> bob: yeah, we're not talking adam dunn on derrek lee in s of height. i think the nats got a br. john russell didn't argue. i wonder if the manager sometimes reads the body language ever his first be coach, because the first bae coach has the best view of anybody. now another ball in the infd foregone stalls. balester doesn't need the

alberto gonzalez is only hitting .232 against right- handers this year. >> rob: what better guy to facews like this. >> bob: nothing mysterious out there. >> rob: no, gonna bring it. occasionally mix in a curveball or a fork ball, but he's long and line. does kind of show the ball. we talked about that with that left-hander from toronto, where he brings that delivery way behind him. there you see it step off, bull the ball out of your glove. something you are work on a lot with that pfp in the spring training practice, bob, is that basically you want to see what elijah is going to do. >> bob: tulowitzki charms again. really good play to get the lead runner. hanging near the bag was barmes. goes 6-4 for the second out. you can secure your seats for 2010 right now. place your deposit for the 2010 season and for season tickets by calling 202-675 nats. you will enjoy guaranteed seating, savings over single game prices. discounts on merchandise. access to exclusive events and a whole lot more. place your order, become a citizen of nats town today. >> bob: here is wilnyjer. nieves. >> rob: ch
