austin. and warren g. austin was -- gave a few speeches, i'll concentrate on the most famous one in march. frita kearsewiggen was studying and talking to the all the delegates tu-u.n. warned truman that she thought the u.n. delegation in conjunction with the state department was planning to double-cross truman and that she had spoken to secretary of state robert lovett and that he was telling the press that state was beginning to take steps to revise partition and she warned truman in a couple of telegrams, they're really trying to double-cross you. austin prepared this speech in march. this is a speech that he is going to say among other things that trusteeship might be a possibility if and when it proves necessary. now, truman was given a draft of this statement and this is an issue of contention. what happened? austin said he gave truman a draft of what he was going to say. and that he had approved it. truman would later explain and most people argue that this, in fact, is what happened. that if the u.n

so any way warren austin did give the speech which became as a bombshell because no one expected it, rabbi silver had speaking rights at the u.n. as a representative of the jewish agency and he got up after warren austin speech and said immediately and took the podium and said your speeches a shocking reversal of the american position, which in fact, it was. what the state department did was use truman's willingness to allow other things as a contingency if they have to be put in place temporarily as an excuse to develop a new policy. the secretary general of the un went to see warren austin and his apartment and told him to his face you issued a blow to the united nations and even the victorious laid not anti-semitic as it editorialized the u.s. was bowling to arab threats and warren austin speech was a shabby trick on the jewish community and palestine but one man who was not to worried was the grand old man of world zionism for hiro to the letter to a friend to ask his comment on warren austin speech, this is a stillborn project produced on the spur of the moment by a fertile brai

austin checks his swing. thought he might have called it on the check swing but he never asked and if you see that thing in fast motion you can tell we put the box up there, the rec' task yoular box, a good two balls low, that makes it 6" low but one of those things. and all night long, and that's the key, but all night long that pitch wasn't called a strike. no pitches down in the lower part of the strike zone that was really runge up and that one does and it always seems to be emphatic that the umpire wants to ring somebody up at the most critical part of a ball game. >> and rick eckstein, we haven't seen that much, you know. >> i love him. >> he is an honest coach and when he sees a coac

austin kearns will step in. he walked in the second and struck out and popped out his last two appearances. >> rob: i don't think they wanted a whole lot to do with josh willingham. i think they wanted to attack austin kearns here, even putting the tying run on at second to do it. >> johnny: fisher walked two. walked zimmerman and willingham. and the pitch to kearns and it is 0 balls and two strikes.

the key to this at-bat is getting ahead of austin kearns. kearns has been in a slump, but he did get a big hit earlier in the ballgame for the nationals. >> jim h.: here is alberto gonzalez. >> rob: you can really see him close that front foot, kind of close up the hip. throws across his body. >> jim p.: every hitter i talk torques especially the lefties, they say deception. not always about the velocity. do you pick the ball up. i think also from what i've been able to observe, pitching is also location. and since he's made the little adjustment the location has been better. the finish on his pitches has been better. then he's addedded the change- up. >> jim h.: the fans have really been into these games. they've been fantastic. >> rob: that will change when the red sox come into town. >> jim h.: pitch broken back ground ball to third, mora throws on the run, he gets it there and the orioles have won. back-to-back win this is this series. as sherrill earns the save. p - oh, it's on. - it's on. it's on. - it's on. - oh, it's on, all right

there's austin kearns. rick eckstein told me austin kearns is so close to getting hits.s really pleased with some of his at-bats this past road trip. he hit that ball last night 405 feet that brent gardener caught up against the wall injuring himself. so, eckstein is not at all reluctant to see austin kearns in there hacking. if he says so, that's good enough for me because he can tell when a hitter is just about getting back to where he should be. now it's 3-0. i think rick is one of those guys who really takes it personally when his guys aren't going well. he's going to do anything he can to get it going. >> rob: let's check out carlson's delivery now. if you're at first base, if that front foot crosses that line, you can take off because he will be going to the plate. right there he's just on that border. you want to -- you don't want to take off because then he can throw to first. then, you see if he does a balk move and does bring that front leg behind the rubber and that imaginary line he cut it off by walking towards the run you are -- runner. kind of a little bit

austin kearns is zero for his last 15, zimmerman zero for his last 16. a rough go today for the numbers three and five hitters. alberto gonzalez will be in there. looks like he's reaching for his groin. >> he's done. you can't pitch if you can't extend and land. you've got to be flexible and stretched out, and sometimes you go to just push off the mound, thinking well, i've done this tens of thousands of times, and that one time it gets you. that looks like brandon league. while he's doing that, we'll take a break. one out, bottom of the eighth at national park, blue jays lead it 6-2. rilled quesadillas, starting at just $6.99. like our bacon-ranch chicken quesadilla, flame-grilled tortillas layered with all white meat chicken, applewood smoked bacon, jack cheese, and ranch dressing. they're crispy on the outside, melted to perfection on the inside. you've never tasted quesadillas like this before. new fire-grilled quesadillas, starting at just $6.99. only at chili's. . >>> kind of quiet day over in  the navy yard and here at the ballpark as well. more

brady is saying austin. back up to you, johnny. >> johnny: thank you. thanks to rachel and the youngest member of the dunn clan. best wishes on the new addition as well. josh willingham has snapped his o-fer 5 slide. >> rob: there's dad. >> johnny: getting set to pick out a bat. austin kearns up against owings and then wil nieves and john lannan. reds with a 2-0 lead. one in the second and one in the fourth. nats having deeped both games of this series. 4-2 in that marathon that ended this morning a limit before 1. two-hour 10-minute rain delay. nats have lost three straight. 12 of their last 14. having tough times but every day is a new day, right rob? >> rob: absolutely. >> johnny: comes to the ballpark with the same feeling, this is going to be the day we start something nice, something good. fouled back out of play. the count is two balls and two strikes to austin kearns with a .211 batting average. he walked his first time up today. last homerun against the mets, that was april 26th at new york. swing and a miss. kearns is gone. >> rob: i wanted to

josh willingham and austin kearns and wil nieves will see what they can do. willingham in left field, out six games because of the stomach virus. went 0-3 last night and 0-4 his last two ballgames. josh playing right field for the first time in his career last night. i'm sure if you were to ask him, he would say it is a different experience in right field. wide open stance for the left fielder. line-drive and phillips has it. one quick out. there's five different flex plans to choose from. enjoyibility national flexible -- enjoy ultimate flex blth. for more information -- flexibility. for more information call 1-888-632-nats or visit nationals.com/grand slam. called strike one to austin kearns. catches the outside corner of the plate. kind of waiting for kearns to break out too, rob. >> rob: yeah. austin has been battling himself all year. trying to change stances and stuff like that. it is hard to carry that over into the game when you are working on making adjustments. just kind of let everybody get out of his head, go back to what got him to the major leag

austin state university in 2005. in pursuit of his lifelong dream to serve in the united states military, first lieutenant west joined the rotc program at steven f. austin as a junior and eventually rose to sergeant and the taction national guard out of texas. included among kyle's national guard duties were assistanting in the columbia shuttle recovery efforts in 2003, as well as serving in louisiana following hurricane katrina. kyle was commissioned in the united states army as a second lieutenant on the eve of his college graduation ceremony and subsequently deployed to iraq on october 3, 2006. in addition to his dedication to his unit and his country, kyle is equally remembered for his devotion to his family. and to his friends. as recalled in a may 31, 2007, article in "the austin american statesman," kyle was a devoted son, a protective big brother and a loyal friend who was still known in his old neighborhood for rounding up friends to take care of a local problem while all the adults were at work. mr. speaker

austin kearns will step in. he walked in the second and struck out and popped out his last two appearances. >> rob: i don't think they wanted a whole lot to do with josh willingham. i think they wanted to attack austin kearns here, even putting the tying run on at second to do it. >> johnny: fisher walked two. walked zimmerman and willingham. and the pitch to kearns and it is 0 balls and two strikes. >> rob: austin's last ten games, 4 hits. no extra base hits. >> johnny: behind in the count now. fisher steps off that rubber. zimmerman, the tying run at second. and the 0-2. fouled out of play down the reefld line -- right field line. >> rob: again they are going fast slow, fast slow. 95 miles an hour fastball from fisher. 83 miles an hour curve ball. >> johnny: and there's no activity in that cincinnati bullpen. here's the pitch to kearns just outside and low. it is one ball and two strikes. >> rob: jesus colome. >> johnny: picked by the reds in the 11th round of that june 2005 first-year player draft. the 1-2 to

of the whole foods company that's headquartered in austin, a grocery company, where these workers have health savings accounts, or high deductible insurance. they actually call them wellness accounts. i was told that 80% of the employees at whole foods don't have to pay any money out of pocket for health care. but since they have wellness accounts, or money that they control, they have been empowered to become good, smarter consumers by health care. so they'll call health care providers and say how much are you going to charge me for this? and they'll actually shop and compare different providers to make sure that they're getting the best price for the best quality outcome. i think that kind of thing which imposes market discipline but which requires transparency is one way we can hold down costs and empower individuals rather than just turn it all over to uncle sam. mr. president, let me just say in conclusion, we keep hearing that we must put health care reform on the fast track here in washington, d.c., although we do see the schedule slipping because of some of the sticker shock at

i'm living in austin. we go to a place called the wild bay son a lot. my parents were high school teachers. we had a trailer and used to go around the country and camp. i am like t.r. for my love of animals. we just had a kid of ra queues born under my daughter's bedroom. i like to have wild life around me.

that was not one of austin kearns' stronger throws. it was right on target, but it seemed like when it hit the infield grass it just died, and then scott rolen, who's a very good base runner got around the tag of josh. >> good base running by rios. >> he had to come up a little bit on the line. >> he's probably laboring a little bit. >> out of play. barred >> 3-1. this will probably be two more. lind andry owes and rios. >> that's just a 3-1 meat fastball. we talked about mastering the strike zone. 53 strikes, 53 balls, 50/50 last time out for martis. that's not good enough to pitch at this level. you have to work ahead, and once you get ahead, even if you're a change-up type guy, you have to establish whether it's an 80-mile an hour or 90- mile an hour fastball, you have to establish the strike zone ahead of time with that fastball. >> he's only retired one-hitter of the first seven. rod b -- rod barajas the catcher. >> never broke 85 miles an hour, but he had pinpoint command of the fastball, could hit it anywhere in the strike zone,

time he reaches home plate. >> austin can run for a big man. overbay's playing behind him. atlanta got two in the first and red sox answered with three. david ortiz, the 6th homer of the year. check on some of the other games involving our division, including the mets who now lead 2-0 over tampa bay, and gregg dobbs a homer for the phillies leading baltimore at home 1- 04th inning. marlins hosting the yankees later. gonzalez hangs tough. the sunday night game, dodgers and angels. here's our daily update, by the way, rob. american league 81, national league 72. so it's still a 9-game difference. it's been that way a couple of days. >> i like the national league keeping it close. gonzalez up the middle. a couple of crow hops by the pitcher. toronto got a little crossed up as far as who was covering second. the shortstop, scutaro and second baseman hill both got there at the same time. first and third, and willie harris got it done again last time, and he did last night. >> you see the shot that saved a couple runs. then he got things going as far

. >> that will be routine in right field off the bat of hill for austin kearns. two outs. >> look at that catch right there. laying out, talking about the trust you have to have in your defense. >> finding the bag visually as he made the exchange. nice. here's wells. his walk right after the double

. >> bob: austin kearns 10 for his last 70 after a ground ball to shortstop tonight. he's really been struggling. been mainly out of the line-up for at least the last week or so since josh willingham came back from the bereavement list one week ago today. 1-1 to kearns. >> rob: the one thing i've got to give manny acta a lot of credit for, they are getting these guys at-bats. they are getting at least one or two starts a week. he gives them an opportunity to work their way out of their slumps. >> bob: the easiest thing in the world to be to bury them, and you never see them again. >> rob: but manny acta and his coaches will not do that. >> jim p.: the easiest thing for him to get out of a slump is just get a base hit here. >> bob: a single. >> jim p.: that's all you have to do. willingham will be running on contact. >> bob: sometimes it's a little ground ball to the opposite side of the field that goes through. sometimes it's a hard line drive to left field, that drives in a run. austin kearns, his first rbi since early may. >> jim p.: he puts a good swing on it and g

really good at-bat by austin. he's not going well, zero for 14 and 10 for 77, and for him to take a borderline pitch when he's dying to get a hit shows a lot of professionalism on his part. there they are. the nats bunch. it will be a big spot for gonzalez, a contact man. >> that could be a defining moment for austin kearns. taking a walk in the midst of a very big valley. he could have gone up hacking at everything. now he's got one of our hottest hitters out there. a chance to get a base hit or fly ball and get one, possibly two runs. that's a double play ball. kearns really went after aaron hill, and right after two consecutive walks, alberto gonzalez swung at the first pitch. hitters will do that. we can't figure it out sometimes, but look at kearns go after hill. i've never been all that great with my money. probably because i've never had much. but now that i'm making more, it's time to be a little smarter about how i manage it.. with the calendar, i can schedule all my payments. and when funds are low, dang

we have a place in austin. so i take them to a nature study center. i'm teaching them the animals. they don't look and say they know even -- if they see a fish in the tank, that's a perch. i trained them to get them to start knowing all of them and they each have favorite animals that they've honed in on. my daughter benton, for example, is all ducks and we have -- without exaggeration she probably has 200 ducks, toy ducks -- >> 200 toy ducks? >> she just surrounded her of all of these little, it's an obsession. but the audubon society of america does a whole series of bird stuffed toys, which are really fun because you can get a great blue heron or you could get a snowy egret or whatever it might be. we have a lot of those, too, a big audubon society fan. >> the writing of all of this, you talk about pelican island. do you still write long hand? >> i am mixed these days. i used to do it all the time, but yes, when i do my first drafts, really my first drafts are writing at the sites because i'm bringing, it's like being a civil war scholar like james mcpherson going to the battle

austin kearns on the year, three homers, 15 rbis. he's been stuck on those numbers for five weeks. 2-1 pitch. they're standing for a sweep in st. petersburg. [cheering and applause] austin kearns hit right in the back. that will get nick johnson to the plate with two outs in the 9 9th. >> rob: they'll make him pay for that now. come on, nick. a double down the left field line scores him. >> bob: a little too pumped up here. hits him onto in the back. >> bob: single to right, base hit up the middle. misses away with a breaking ball ball. >> rob: nick was hitting .359 off left hander this is year with a couple of home runs. 23-64. >> bob: count 1-2 now. this game is over. nick johnson striking out. the tampa bay rays in two hours 47 minutes beat the nationals 5- 4 and sweep the three game series. the nats are 6-3 on the road. more up next. where is that dollar? i got it out to show you... uhh... was it rather old and wrinkly? yeah, you saw it? umm fancy a crisp? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insur

newton -- northwest austin municipal utility district, at stake was the year 200625-year removal of section 5 of the voting rights act. it was a measure initially enacted in 1965. under the act, nine states, seven of them in the south, all had histories of discrimination against minority group voters. they said they must obtain clearance -- before any change. the requirement extends to all local units within a designated state or area and to gain free clearance, the applicant must show that the proposed change has neither the purpose nor the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race. eight days after congress' voting rights act, a small utility district in travis county taxes, formed in the late 1980's, filed suit in federal court, alleging that it never engaged in discriminatory practices. the utility district saw a statutory exemption, a release to pre clear that was called a bailout. the bailout is not available to the utility district, then the 2006 voting rights act that we -- would be unconstitutional. it would exeunt congress ' power. congress passed

that's steadily improved. >> that will be routine in right field off the bat of hill for austin kearns. two outs. >> look at that catch right there. laying out, talking about the trust you have to have in your defense. >> finding the bag visually as he made the exchange. nice. here's wells. his walk right after the double play gave the blue jays momentum back. >> scutaro is hustling to third. he's going to score. that ball right down the line and toronto leads 5-nothing. >> ball up in the zone right here. you know it was inside. second right for the series on base twice today, and here's scott rolen who singled after wells walked, but my point about wells was, martis had just gotten the double play, bases empty, two outs. now he gets scott rolen, and it's just hard to believe the base is empty, two outs, and martis gave up four runs. similar to an outing two weeks ago today. adam lind walked first time up. second at-bat already. then rios really hurt with the two hitch run single.  he's going have at least mi- 50s in pitches through two innings. >> well, right now martis

austin kearns trying to work out of a 10-for-75. he has shown us over the last several games, he is starting to hit the ball a little harder. got into some bad luck this week. breaking ball tries to pull it. rolen to his left. well played, one

i think of austin cannes swinging the bat well, it's almost automatic that he pinch hits there. so first and third, two outs. long top of the 8th here. in a ballgame that's already over 3 hours old. bard will get under it and fly to center. the nationals strand two runners. they have left eight in the ballgame and it stays 3-3 into the bottom of the 8th. you don't do laundry at the beach. you salt-wash everything and let it breeze dry. knit, delicate, permanent press... the ocean doesn't care. so grab your bag. coors banquet has been brewed in one place... and one place only: golden, colorado. it's followed one tradition: use the best high-country barley... and only rocky mountain water. and it's been brewed under one motto: never compromise. now maybe this means we're a little set in our ways. but we know a few guys who will drink to that. coors. the banquet beer. ♪ who's watching? ♪ tell me who's watching.

massy coal company, and northwest austin municipal utility district v. holder. wyatt had a predecessor the year before in rigov. med tronnic. the court held 8-1 that f.d.a.'s regime for medical divines pre-empted all state law -- devices pre-empted all state law taught suits -- the f.d.a. allowed to be marketed caused physical injuries. i was the lone dissenter in that case. wyeth v. lavigne involved drugs rather than devices, and the absence of a preemings clause in that statute -- pre-emption clause in that statute proved as positive. tort laws and the state law could be maintained the court held 6-3, claims for inadequate warnings on drug labels. caperton v.a.t. massy coal company came with a record resembling john grisham's novel "the appeal." the case involved a $50 million jury verdict in favor of caperton, who charged that the coal company's predatory practices drove him out of business. the west virginia supreme court, dividing 3-2, reversed a judgment for caperton and declared victory for the coal company. there was one problem. justice benjamin, who ca

from austin, texas. -- on the independent line, from austin, texas. caller: first of all, you made the comment about you should have private markets and the market economy works. but it does not, or we would not have to bail out gm and all those other companies. second of all, single payer would be run like medicare. medicare -- i am over 70, and it works fine. it runs at low cost, so i do not understand why you are not more or less promoting that. also, you would be given a choice so if you wanted your own company, you could keep your own plan. but also, you need to take insurance companies out of it because insurance companies are making these huge profits. they can turn you down if you have the pre-existing condition. they can say, no, we're not going to pay for that particular procedure. we need single payer health care for all, and it would run like medicare at low cost. guest: well, medicare is currently on affordable. as president obama has saysid, t is a big drop ever of projected -- is a big dri

in this case, caulted northwest austin municipal utility district number one against holder, which is in your materials, as you know, this was a challenge to the continued constitution at of the preclearance provisions of section 5 voting rights act reviewed in 2006 by congress and the big erb lurking there -- the big issue lurking there, there is a doctrinal issue lurking here which is how do you evaluate the claim that section 5 has run its course, it's become outdated, there is no longer a need for the kind of intrusion that section 5 imposes on the restrictses by requiring justice? do you evaluate it, as the appellants argued, whereby congress' enforcement powers under section 5 of the 14th amendment are limited to finding remedies that are congruent and proportional to demonstrated violations or do you continue the very defferential standard that the court has always used in evaluating challenges to the voting rights act under south carolina versus cast enback which involves congress giving direct authority under section 5, the court is going to back off from second guessing cong

in the voting rights case, a case called northwest austin municipal utility district number one against holder, which is in your materials, as you know, this was a challenge to the continued constitutionality of the free clearance positions of the section five voting rights act renewed for 25 years in 2006 by congress, and the big issue lurking there beyond the symbolic issue, the iconic nature of the voting rights act in section five is the voting rights act. there is that china irk shoe that was lurking here, which is how do you evaluate the claim that section five has run its course, it's become outdated, there is no longer a need for the ciefns much intrusion that section five imposes on the covered jurisdictions by requiring them to give a justice department many or federal court permission before making any voting change? do you evaluate it as appellates in this case argued under the city of bernie standards, particularly referred to whereby congress has enforcement powers under section five of the 14th amendment are limited to finding remedies that are congruent and proportionate

when you were in austin, you were part of the state. it was reserved power for you. at this time, though, you're acting outside that parameter and i don't preebt all of the dictation from washington. it was true under the previous administration, and it's true today. it was true when the constitution was founded. i think the tribute to phylicia moore is well deserved. sounds like a wonderful young lay dism there's no way there could be adequate compensation or action to lessen the hurt adequately of those who loved her. and suffered from her loss. but here again, this would usurp further what the previous administration did in dictating local policy and i understand the amendment now simply requires that a policy be put in place, and that's better, but we know in days ahead how that normally works, then someone else more se louse comes forward and said, and the policy must include this, and this, and there. so i still believe the best school control is local control, state control, and holding school board members responsible to the local electorate. i would support

i'm living in austin, i go to a place called the wild basin a lot. i go down to big bend national park and in addition to that, my parents were high school teachers and we had a trailer and we used to go around the country and catch-all of these places. so animals, i'm very much like t.r. in his love of animals. i have in my study place in austin, we had a family, a kit of raccoons born under my daughter's bedroom. i have a possum that comes out and eets from the cat dish. i have bird feeders all over i have wild life around me. it's in vogue that urban people can develop nature deficiency. and roosevelt was very concerned about industrialization for health and you had to get back to nature and have nature in your life. you didn't have to live in the wild. but you needed the national parks and monuments, a place to replenish your spirit and come back to work. >> i remember you spent a summer in north dakota. how many years ago was that? >> that was 1992. i go up there every -- not every summer, every other summer. in fact, i did a lot of research for

frank is here with his son, austin and thank you for coming.joe, do you want to say anything about your witness? >> is it time to introduce them? >> it is. i just did a half-hearted i have. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i've been down in the electricity hearing. it is my honor to introduce frank blankenbeckler. he is a native of waxahachie, texas, graduated from waxahachie high school. went to the university of texas where he lettered in basketball. he came back home to waxahachie and entered the business that his grandfather started in 1926. he is one of the civic leaders in waxahachie. they have -- he and his family have been major donors to every civic improvement in the last 50 years in that community. and as i said in my opening statement last year, his business and the 40 employees generate revenues in interrupted $1.3 million in taxes to various state, local and federal entities. he is considered one of the leading entrepreneurs, businessman, philanthropist of his hometown and i consider him to be a personal friend so we're honored to have

austin goal tries to defend the present position of firing wagner. he was as nervous as i would have been but you have got to do it. when you understand policy is not academics. it is not academic research. it is where you go along the political line and that to a large extent is why there's so much of the debate. >> i would say that a huge percent of the academic economists and don't have any relationship with obama are saying-- >> do have a huge relationship. key think universities are independent defense, they are not. even when i was officially with the white house steve, there were always groups that would hang together. it is us versus them and it becomes a very political process for economists. that is what happens and whether it should origin, it does and that is that would gets along. what we do is we see each other has been parts of a different team because steve, there not many things that you and peter could say honestly that i would not want to defend because you are my friends and we are on the same team and it does the same with econom

and she had a big impact on my thinking about teaching. >> host: austin thompson e-mails in, being that you're a veteran of the movement for alternative education, what do you make of president barack obama's new emphasis on charter schools? >> guest: i'm not sure i know what the emphasis is going to be from the new administration, but i think, you know, charter schools, i think anything that takes away from the public space is a mistake. a lot of the people who are, who are pushing for charters and who work in charters are great, great people, so let's make a distinction. but on the other hand, haven't we seen what the ideology about provetizing everything -- provetizing everything, where it takes us? do we really want to go to privatizing public else in the same way that we've privatized the health care system has been privatized forever, and it's a catastrophe? so why would we take that model as the model of where we ought to go? again, the ideology that's taken control of us or the met for that's -- metaphor that's dominated our thinking about education is that schooling is a lot li

at uva i could not find a class on jane austin that did not teach is from a radically left perspective and that was the influence of the women's studies center so i say they are goofy i'm not disparaging the accomplishment of women over the years i want to learn the literary techniques of jane austin. the first day of class i was told jane austen was a we'll have more radical feminist than gloria steinam. try to find something that's -- talk to students and see what they're interested in. i urge you all to go to young america's foundation's website and see -- i talked to you guys to you who are there on sunday. alyssa was the star of the video by the way. this video where we're trying to explain to college students the importance of redistribution of wealth. how it impacts you and how unjust it is. there's this tendency of college students to think oh, you know, we want everybody to be happy and everything needs to be fair and we should all have equal chances. we do have equal chances. we should all end up with equal stuff and isn't that nice? well, we did this challenge to college stu

i'm living in austin. we go to a place called the wild bay son a lot. my parents were high school teachers. we had a trailer and used to go around the country and camp. i am like t.r. for my love of animals. we just had a kid of ra queues born under my daughter's bedroom. i like to have wild life around me. the bad lands there helped me understand that. there's a woman named twila shaffer. many people go on vacations in the summer to south dakota. some of t.r.'s parks are there. not far over the border, he saved as our first national monument. if you go north to north dakota is theodore roosevelt national park. you are going to see buffalo in the wild, antelope. it's one of these great places in america. summers in montana, you are getting a lot of forest fires now. the whole skywmÑ is just lit up hope any the obama administration will do more to protect the missouri river. it's prayerry lands. so often, we haven't trezz you'red. these areas, i feel more happy in. better than the coast. >> had you been working on this wuke? >> i was. i have a pangs and

. >> johnny: austin kearns will be weight. there's two down here in the 11 11th. >> johnny: wil has done a fantastic job. >> johnny: two solid veteran catchers. >> rob: both are very enthusiastic, get the most out of the pitching staff. that's really turned around in the last couple of weeks. they're trying to pump up their pitchers. that's your number one job as a catcher. >> johnny: 1-2. nick masset following aaron harang and arthur rhodes and francisco cordero to the mound. the bullpen for the reds 4-18. that's the 11th inning in the books. we're still tied at 2. we'll come back with more. johnny holiday and rob dibble on masn.

austin kearns will try to get things going for the nats.hey came back to tie it in the bottom of the 9th. let's see if they can again in the bottom of the 12th. it can be done. bottom of the 9th inning. guzman on deck. kearns leads it off. 0-2. >> rob: these guys played together in cincinnati. >> johnny: kearns takes the call, third strike. reds are two outs away from a 4- 4-2 win. set this pitch up with a breaking ball. >> rob: he comes back with a sinking ball. that's a salty veteran that's been here a thousand games. moves the ball in and out, up down, doesn't have the stuff any longer. >> johnny: back to the top of the line up for the nationals. guzman tries to keep things going. david weathers is number 22 in games pitched all time. >> rob: it would be close to get through 1000. i'm sure he has another year under his belt. >> johnny: 1-2 to guzman. one out here in the 12th. pitch just misses inside. >> rob: one of us saw him pitch in person. >> johnny: one of us saw cox pitch in person too. it is 12:49 a.m. guzman to hernandez. it's tw

belliard will be at second, and austin kearns goes to right tonight. ronny belliard's first start since june 10. now for the orioles who clobbered the nationals last night 11-1, leading off will be brian roberts, hitless the last couple ballgames, after a six- game hitting streak, leads the american league in doubles, he's knocked out 25 doubles this year, he drove in a season high four runs against the phillies one week ago. the birds line-up goes this way, roberts leads off at second with a .288 batting average, then comes adam jones, he had three hits last night, as did nick markakis, aubrey huff at first base batting in the cleanup spot. nolan reimold also three hits last night. luke scott will be the dh for the o's, gregg zaun will be catching and robert andino will be batting ninth. the nationals trying to even up the series tonight at camden yards against baltimore. one of the questions i think everybody's asking, ray, as we go to nightly notes, knightly. >> the k is silent. >> yes, the k is silent. let's touch on the problems of joel hanrahan.

has the luxury of not starting their west, but they are going with a solid college pitcher, austin rosswho hasn't pitched since the regionals. he went six and two-thirds there and gave up only two runs. got a no decision but threw the ball well. and taylor jungman, a high school basketball player, a freshman now, his stats are awesome. coming off a rough outing, but an unbelievable fastball, downhill and a great curveball. >> also if you watch this game, for other purposes get our advanced scouting report yesterday that texas was a team that played small ball. they hit five home runs yesterday. >> they hit five solo home runs last night. for an offense in 65 games, they've hit 20% of their home runs in the last four games. so emotionally they're kind of going through a little replayed well but we still lost. so for them to bounce back, they got to keep those bats going and believe that they're going to be able to drive runs in. >> join us for game two tonight at 7:00 eastern from the college world series. >> thanks, mike. once again manny ramirez returned to professional baseball. we co

willie harris, austin kearns and wil nieves here in the 7th. andy sonnanstine. >> rob: look at that stat. >> bob: that's how you go 4-6 with a 7 e.r.a. >> rob: second in the major leagues with run support, over eight runs per start. >> bob: you brought this up numerous times. what is it about these guys with 6 and 7 e.r.a.'s, our ball club can't hit them. >> rob: i don't know. maybe we take them for granted that they're not throwing the ball well. >> bob: that's a way to help out a pitcher. willie harris will fly out on a pitch that was way up out of his zone. the nats now have been set down 13 in a row. >> bob: last night matt garza with amazing stuff. then let them off the hook after that. you've got to keep charging every inning. >> bob: the nats had one hit out of the fourth inning yesterday. tonight they had no hits after the third. kearns puts a charge into one, straightaway center field. it keeps on going. but it's caught by b.j. upton. verizon fios has "nats xtra" post-game. how jordan zimmermann was able to sting the rays, but he only

austin kearns waiting on deck. zimmerman not a big lead off 1st base. carlos fisher delivers high and outside. bottom of the 7th with a runner on. check swing outside for ball two. >> rob: reds have done a solid job of changing speeds on our hitters. given them a lot of hard stuff to swing at. that is the key. when you can add and at-bat instruct on your pitch -- subtract on your pitches, keep the other team thinking, bag on their heels. they have thrown a lot of inside pitches. set up the breaking balls. >> johnny: and look at the number 3, 4, 5 hitters for the nationals today. they have worked two walks. zimmerman, dunn and dukes does nobody else has a base hit. >> rob: they pitched around zimmerman. couple of walks. zimmerman had a couple of lined shots to left field. a couple of walks and then dunn a walk, nothing to hit and then elijah dukes, a couple of ks and a fielder's choice. that is the kind of stuff that is going to kill you. if the middle of the line-up is being pitched around, the other guys on the team have to step it up. >> johnny: fishe

nationals by the way have austin kearns in the line-up tonight.u might have heard by now that the nats are without josh willingham. byron kerr will have more on that shortly. a tragedy in the willingham family, and josh left the ball club this morning to go back to alabama. we'll check in with byron shortly. pena, disoab rift, burrell. that ball is going to leave the yard, way out of here. almost to the scoreboard. and pena's 20th of the year gets tampa bay on the board here. he becomes only the fifth player in the major leagues with 20 home runs. >> rob: this is going to be a 95-mile an hour fastball down and in, it's supposed to be down and away. that's what happens to those pitches when you throw them down and in to a lefty. you throw that hard, you're going to give up home runs. shake it off, come right back. attack the strike zone some more. >> bob: the rays have hit their 82nd home run, starting the day third in the american league behind the 99 of the yankees and the 90 of the rangers. ben zobrist, the second baseman. and the count's even 1

willie harris is next, then austin kearns, here in the ninth. a reminder, the nats are coming home to play the blue jays and the red sox in the next home stand. give a call, order some tickets for toronto and ask them if they have any left for boston. broken bat, base hit center field for dukes. elijah now 2-8 in the series.  >> bob: next up is will harris who is 0 for 3 tonight. and willie will break his bat, right field, easy play. gabe gross, one out. johnny holliday and ray knight, "nats xtra" presented by verizon fios, starring those two, straight ahead. i know this has to be frustrating for ray, because for several weeks he has just like you have, and me, too, that this ball club was just on the verge of better things. it's just very slow coming together here. pitching has been good, bergmann had a nightmare in the sixth inning tonight. other than that it's been a solid week for the pitching staff. here are the nats now. if they don't score any more runs tonight it will be 13 runs in their last six games. >> rob: the pitching is
