stealing, and bergmann, coming in and do a heck of a job. jones and then also burnett getting a big out with the left-hander when he comes in there, and doumit, so everything went well. riggleman managing well, using a lot of guys as he tried the sunday lineup was done out and kearns stretch scratches because of a sore thumb. and that 7th inning, down 2-0. will hand, -- willingham, another power breaks. >> we got the big home run after the zim single. deep to left field, ground rule double, and behind him, breaking a 4 for 42 slump, i believe. gonzalez doubled down the line. there's the score. they win it 5-3. shawn bur nets gets the victory, number 2. macdougal, save number 7. look at the numbers from willingham, 15 homers last year, ray with the marlins. he had that problem with 15 games. and zim continued the numbers for the nationals. nice to see gonzalez get a couple rbis. maybe that will help his confidence. >> i hope so. he has struggled as much as anybody, or more than anybody. he's pulling off the ball, looked like he was trying to

national security analyst peter bergmann and mafl ware, two veterans of the conflict.n made it clear they are going to interview with the election. >> they have been somewhat effective. up to 10% of the polling places are not going to open because of taliban intimidation. these kinds of attacks -- i was just in afghanistan talking to folks there, a lot of people advising their families not to vote because they are concerned on the way to the polling station or coming out of there they would be subject to attacks by the taliban. >> michael, the fact they did a rocket attack on the presidential palace, what does that say? >> i think it is symbolic more than anything. it wasn't effective. we have seen attacks in the capital kabul before. on that same jalalabad road i witnessed an attack. it is not new but it is timely. it is a reminder. the taliban is using the power of perception to intimidate voters. i don't believe their power to effectively stop the elections exists. but can they disrupt, can they spoil in certain areas? can they cast a pal over it? that is possible.

. >> hey, clippard and bergmann going long, takes a little pressure off the other guise, doesn't it? t-does. it's nice to do. both a little sore today so we're really kind of juggling. it's tough when your starters haven't been giving you a lost innings. that's what they're hoping fromlannan today to get six or seven. they've been doing well. clippard can go out there. i had him as a starter. i know what he can do. i know he's been up to 115 pitches for me. next day he'll come out and throw 92 miles per hour for 60 more pitches. they both have resilient arms, they're a little -- it gets a little to you the up and downs. we've got to get our starters to give us a couple more innings. that's what we really need right now. >> thank you very much, steve. we appreciate your time tonight. congratulations on another victory. >> thank you very much. >> steve mccatty pitching coach for the washington nationals as the nats win 5-4 over the marlins. plenty more on this show to talk about this big victory. we'll talk nyjer morgan. we'll talk defense and we're going to talk another nats victory.

. >> i heard him mention many times that many visitors came to mount bergmann -- mount vernon. was martha washington a financial wizard? how did she maintained the estate for years without him? >> thousands of visitors came to mount vernon and the question was if she was a financial wizard. >> there are two parts to that question. was she a financial wizard? probably not. when she financially astute, yet she was. that is shown from the time she was a young woman in her twenties when her first husband, the rich husband, died. she was left with by plantations to run and to take care of as well as a great deal of cash. she made very careful investments and she kept books on them and when lawyers acted in ways that she did not like, she would call them to account and she went to their office and confronted them. it is the whole question of a public woman. she hitched up the horses and went into town and confronted the lawyer in his office. i think he was more scandalized by that the by what she had to say. she did not have to go out in public, he could have gone to her. she was fin
