look at atkins.'s a new first baseman, how he steps forward to catch the throw to give himself a good angle at second base. twice these threw to second base. atkins was a third baseman until this year. >> jim: test drive a mitsubishi today. >> rob: that's one of the toughest plays. he was most proud about the 3-6 putout he had. he made the accurate throw. it wasn't worrying about grounders. it was making the throw to second base. >> jim: number 9 kelly shoppach normally in this situation. number 9 would be asked to sacrifice. shoppach was acquired because he's a good catcher. maddon doesn't want to take the bat out of his hands at least not on that ditch. >> joe: his month production is amazing for limited at bats. >> jim: two years ago he hit 2 1 for the indians. you don't want to miss up in the strike zone. he's missing low. >> joe: i like matusz and his command. chances are it's going to be a double play. if somebody can get to it, 1-1 down low. that swing has to be down. not a lot of speed out th

hit to atkins, atkins looks to brian roberts and the orioles get the out.'t think i've ever seen a play like that where somebody got in the way of the throw. they were able to get crawford on the out. >> it was a good defensive play. jeremy guthrie got in his way. he couldn't even make a play at first base. as soon as he sees crawford, he gets roberts the ball, other wise that inning could have gotten real ugly. >> he was able to get kelly shoppach out. >> this is what i really like about guthrie's effort. , a lot of movement on the ball tonight and it was nice and under control for most of the time. good sliders right here. now, shoppach knows he's going to get that slider. another one right there. no. 4, and later on, he's looking for that darn slider again and guthrie stayed in the count the whole time. all of a sudden a fast ball. i like the way he set up his game today. >> guthrie's numbers, 4 wins. that of course was the home run to longoria -- no, excuse me. guthrie didn't allow that. i apologize. meredith, that was the first batter he faced was long

i'll go with garrett atkins.he youngster on the mound is stuff, two games on the year and not lost. a lot of runs. look at the first seven versus last seven. 1-6 and is 5-1 in his last seven. look at the difference in the earned runs. this guy is tough to go against and is off to a big start. now, i will say both his starts have been against seattle so he has the staple lineup twice but didn't allow a run in either but this guy is a tough left- hander. >> rick: he is and he learned how to control that changeup. naturally, what keeps hitters off balance. he had a good fastball and good breaking ball. you see it right there but the thing that put his game together is being able to use that straight changeup and that has really helped him a lot. fastball late in the count, that's what all the left- handers do against the orioles. they use the awe-speed stuff early and hard stuff late in the zone and get people out. >> jim h: he was 11-11 last year as a rookie and so far 1-0 this year. orioles against the athletics.

scott and atkins will follow. matt wieters 10-23. singled his first time up. now a seven-game hit streak for matt. sorry. that was a strike, i guess. wieters had a nine-game hit streak. longest last year. the shift is on against wieters. came back inside, garza did, and an 0-2 count. >> mike: he really has been a favorable strike zone tonight for both pitchers. both pitchers have command, should be able to take advantage of it. >> gary: d. j. raburn is the umpire behind the plate tonight. 0-2 delivery. that is inside. garza with a 1-2. matt wieters came in 1-6 off garza before picking up that base hit in his first at-bat. the 1-2. and wieters over the top of that one. that will be the second straightout of the ball became for matt garza. one down. time for our at mobility trivia question. and name the four oriole pitchers who have won cy young awards. >> mike: oh, boy. i know palmer won a couple. quair. steve stone may have won one. and there was somebody else. >> gary: there they are. scott, single. a designated hitter to the orioles. garza's settling in here

atkins coming up. garrett atkins has hit into a double play and has struck out. runner being held by pena at first. luke scott not going anywhere. atkins takes it for the high strike. 9,129 the announced attendance for this monday night ballgame. three runs, eight hits to the rays. a run and four hits for the o's. garza gets it in. over to left center. carl crawford makes a great catch. the speed in the outfield with crawford and upton, and does it ever matter. a back breaking catch on the line drive by atkins. >> mike: if you destined for the alley, watch crawford lay out the backhand side. garza certainly appreciates his defense. he is talking with crawford before the inning. >> gary: and the orioles denied the very big hit in this game. instead of probably runners on at first and third and one down, they are two down with someone on fist. wigginton is going to come in as a pinch hitter. he is one for eight overall. navarro will go out and have a word with garza on throwing to wigginton. >> mike: wigginton 1-9 in a lifetime. that's a history with tampa bay. >>

garrett atkins holding.evin kouzmanoff down to first base garrett atkins has it, good try as kevin millwood went over to cover the bag. throw in the dirt against him and we get the force out on ryan sweeney. >> mike: a good play by garrett atkins, he throws across the runner and he was not able to get enough on the throw. over there in time. fortunately this kid is in front. >> gary: that will keep the inning going with eric chavez's single and has grounded out. kevin millwood battling to give the baltimore orioles a chance and rbi ryan sweeney ground ball out and so far the big hit of the game tipple by cliff pennington with 2 down in the 4th inning. oakland a's 4-2 lead. 1-0 delivery in the dirt. matt wieters stops it. we were kidding last night with all the numbs being 42 of course. today is the anniversary of the first time numbs worn on the backs of any team in major league baseball, cleveland indians. it was supposed to be the yankees but their team got rained out. so cleveland ended up with the first

atkins has hit each game in the series. hit has been a double . 1-1 the count on atkins batting with none out and none on. that goes right past sonnanstine. he gets out of the way. there at second base is zobrist for the out. niemann was knocked out by tejada's line drive. that almost got sonnanstine. >> joe: that's a good way, knock out the opposing team. it's tougher to get out of the way. sometimes that can work against you when the starting pitcher has to leave that early. the guy watched all the video, been watching niemann the entire day, and all of a sudden niemann is not pitching. >> jim: we'd like to welcome attorney watch the nationals and phillies. welcome to tropicana field on masn field. jim hunter with rob and joe angel. jim palmer has lost his voice. we're making do tonight. lugo skies to right field towards the line. coming over is kapler, he makes makes the catch. this was the first batter of the 2nd inning. off the shoulder area of niemann, just below the shoulder blade threw a couple of warm-up tosses to

eater scott and atkins coming up. hanover. welcome back.e saw felix pie come out and hit a leadoff home run in the 1st inning, picking up the slack for a missing brian roberts from the lineup. that's what he is going to have to do for the next 15 games or so while brian is gone. what does that really mean? well, consider the numbers. if you look at the two games this season so far in which brian did not play, the orioles only mustered up two total runs in those games. as far as the four he did play in, the orioles averaged over four runs per game. so whether or not that's directly correlated, nobody can say. but brian being able to get some pitches definitely does get that offense going. whoever is going to have to pick up the slack, they are going to have to continue to do what felix did. also really quickly, we did just find out before the game brian roberts got an epidural shot in his lower back before the game. he is expected to rest four or five days. he is on the bench hanging out, taking it easy. he will go home. he will not go on th

over to atkins for the out. there are two away. a busy night for infielders for both of these ball clubs with the number of groundballs and ball clubs. ichiro coming up. two away. this is the way the orioles pitchers like it. get ichiro to the plate with two down and nobody on. if you have to face him. he is the lead off spot. he has singled and scored and been called out on strikes. rbis picked up by bradley and gutierrez for the mariners in the 1st inning and a double by reimold in the first. the only runs of the game. and that slash is fouled. strike one. >> jim: i would imagine when we didn't see him run early on, his first year in the american league, 242 hits, but led the league with 56 fields. last year second least at age 35, with 26. >> gary: hernandez coming right at him and he fouls that pitch back and a two strike count. he pulled even with jay buhner in the mariners record book with games played in doubles in the ballgame played last night. so he continues to get to the point now of establishing some seattle records. t

atkins and montanez to follow.ne hits. 6-3 lead. 4 for 8 with runners in scoring position. atkins, 0 for 3. by the way, sweeney is credited with a base hit in the last half inning. the out recorded at second. with that, he has a 13-game hit streak. ryan sweeney. he's had at least one hit in every game helied in. that will miss outside. one ball, one strike. >> jim p: you think tyson ross, because he is 6'6," wears number 66? >> gary: yes. >> jim p: must have something to do with it. >> gary: 1-1 on the way. that will go to their. short hop. kouzmanoff makes the play. two rbis for wigginton, one from markakis in the 3rd inning. a couple of rbis -- howl din in the 5th. >> jim p: a couple of hits -- the big one being the double. how about trembly saying we're struggling a little bit. let's swing away 3-0. high off the wall. a couple more runs. >> gary: take some chances. 1-0 count. fountains. getting his first start since being recalled from norfolk. single and an rbi. and robbed of a base hit by kouzmanoff in his las

line drive -- caught by atkins. him. >> >> jim: that will tell you how kevin millwood last year starting with texas. conventional four-seam fastball. curve ball, doesn't throw it a lot, but he will use it and then the slider, a cutter also he throws, and the change-up, a circle change-up, and again there are the pitches, and the one thing about it, mainly velocity has dropped 89 to 90 all night long but he has really made good pitches over the course of the season. >> gary: chone figgins has gone 0 for 7 in the first two games of the series. his average now at the .204 mark. switch hitter showing bunt. millwood has seen a lot of seethe until his career. he's 8-11 in 21 career starts. and in this ballpark he has had 12 previous starts, 3-7 here with the 5.25 e.r.a. the amazing thing is he has given up homeruns here. he's tied with the most homeruns surrendered by an opposing pitcher in this ballpark. it's not a ballpark where the home runs are hit. had has surrendered 11 of them at save doe. >> jim: especially at the

a atkins with that on the money to millwood.e's 0 for 3 and a walk. >> jim: kevin says this is a foot race i may not always win there, got him. he has bigger feet than itch itch. -- than ichiro. >> gary: and they avoid the collision. >> jim: again, your route to the ball has to be direct when you have the speedster. >> gary: wigginton wanting to know how long he needs to regain the breathing functions. here's clay meredith and castillo, castillo the newest member of the bullpen with durgesson sent dun down. ichiro one away. io chronic ichiro has not -- ironic that ichiro has not been a part of this. that one is fouled away. 18,401 in attendance here tonight. the largest of the three crowds for the series. the orioles on the road. a couple of wins, seven losses, and the mariners trying to win another one on him here. here's the 0-1 delivery. the 0-2 count. the orioles only run in the first inning, an unearned run with wieters getting the rbi. wilson three rbis on the ball game, and johnson the other. the 8 and 9 hitters with the

atkins coming up.mber. >> amber: gary, garrett atkins has a member of the lock ease organization for nine years. he was part of the club when it made the transition. during that time he really learned the benefits that come with winning. by that he meant once your image rises around the leg, you get the breaks, the calls, the respect from the opposing team, but also the umpires. that can help a lot. he said it's similar to the breaks a veteran hitter will get as far as the strike zone is concerned. it helps him keep winning. and he said it's a matter of perception becoming reality. once you force this league to perceive your team differently, you will start to get the respect. you will start to get the breaks. and that allows you to keep winning. >> gary: and atkins hopes he can be part of turning that around. there is a runner at 2nd base. he has had fine numbers off vargas. he is 5-7 with two home runs. ironically, he comes in this ballgame 0-11 on left-handers. he takes that one to center field. gut

atkins could believed in his last at-bat last night.ett atkins, new on the team. >> we'll get to know him a bit as he skies it out there in the middle of the diamond and bartlett takes charge. well, the home opener only two days away, the time to become a season plan holder is right now. you can enjoy a wide variety of carpet benefits, including a brooks roberts figurine dipped dipped in 14 caret gold. for all the details, get online at www.orioles.com. >> we'll have a dual ceremony. do you have that ring on tonight? >> no. >> which one do you have on. >> i have the '83. >> brignac at 2nd and a quick out. after a 7 batter first inning, here's matt garza. >> he worked with kim who is a sports psychologist to handle moments like that where he didn't pitch poorly. so you know when you're an overachiever, you didn't want to give up the runs and sometimes you have to do -- 2 down, there's brian roberts, his second at bat. he hat a long at bat and he takes an off speed pitch for a strike. look at that right there as we mentioned. last night t

$24.4 billion missed estimates slightly still earnings of 45 cents a share beat forecasts as howard atkins said credits getting better. >> one of the reasons we're confident credit has turned is the stabilization and improve. we're experiencing in early staged delinquencies across the major consumer portfolios. >> still except for auto and student lending, wells remained soft. corporate clients about new loans, but overall doesn't see demand picking up until the economic recovery takes hold. once it does, wells is well situated having taken care of it. wells says it appears chargeoffs peaked in the fourth quarter earlier than expected and also said 2008 acquisition is exceeding expectations both culturally as well as fascially. we'll head down to the floor of the new york stock exchange where trish is standing down there with bob. >> thanks, mary. part of the reason we're seeing a bit of an upside on the dow is that investors are taking a little bit of heart in all these strong earnings. earnings news continues to pile in and most of it is very, very good. we're seeing outside in some of t

with that said, the atkins plan for a a long time. if you go to a synagogue or indonesia is doing just fine. indonesia, 222 million people take a couple million of well over 90% are muslims and they produced a couple hundred terrorists. wait a minute, a couple hundred terrorists are 210 or so billion muslims. that's not bad. i did a research project in indonesia and overall the indonesians just don't want any part of it. some are stricter believers another, et cetera bonded not shaken a few nut cases and the ties go back to trading routes with makkah in the middle ages, but they really don't want any part of hinduism and buddha that prevailed in indonesia parliament in islam so when you look at islam on the western tip of camacho, it's really in our class. there's a lot of animism thrown in. and i don't have time to go into some of the hilarious practices that drive the studies that. but it's very different. but indonesia is a frontier for islam. it came in really two most java victims around the 16th century and later to other island

position in 12 games. 2 for 44 and only one of those two hits drove in runs -- that was the single by atkins in yesterday's game. today, 3 for 7 and five rbis -- first time this season the orioles put together four consecutive hits and the most runs in one inning -- three in the 3rd, the most since opening night in tampa with a four-run 6th inning. eight runs is the season-high and what was most impressive about the third inning rally, not only did they get the back- to-back hits, there develop two out and nobody on when the four consecutive hits started so the izturis single looked innocent at moment but he came back to get on base and turned the lineup. how often do we here that? >> rick: pretty nice to see although freedommedly had to juggle the lineup. jones did very good in the leadoff position, wigginton picked the ballclub up. we saw that offensively and top three guys in the order e deb give us a little hope the offense started to click in. mar case had a couple of doubles in the series and he looked very good swinging the bat after a bad day yesterday with three strikeouts. so maybe

here you have the nelson atkins museum and some of you know almost every native american peace was originally owned by the fred harvey company. that's not surprising because fred harvey here but basically every museum in the world that has made american goods originally got those goods from the fred harvey company because the fred harvey company used to own all of the needed part in the country and the relationship with the native americans could be its own book. we try to make it the more -- one more entertaining part of this the fred harvey company as you will see because eventually i will stop talking they did so many things they were so ambitious and so many ambitious people working for them they wanted to try to do new and interesting things some people know them as a restaurant business and as a hotel business in kansas city if you remember the union station was in the fred harvey station. it didn't just have restaurants. fred harvey ran all the stores in the building three all of the services in the building. it became a major retailer in this building. there was a 24-hour bookstore th
