brian roberts is holding his brian roberts baseball bat.s will buy tickets, come into the zone, play games, have fun, have a chance to hang out with nod not only brian but other orioles as well and the proceeds with that event will go to the university of maryland children's hospital. brian has been giving to that hospital for many years now and now nick markakis, he and his wife, christina, have started the right side foundation. this is their first big event. tonight they will be holding over at patterson's market in canton a run and walk. that event is open to the public right now so people can register. we'll tell you how to do that in just a moment. but first, hear from both of these guys. >> it is such an amazing night. but for us, it is really the times that we get to go to the hospital and be can the wides. -- with the kids and be around those you really affect are the best times for us. i have been in the hospital, i have had open-heart surgery. i know a small bit of what they are going through. so to be able to kind of relate that

roberts goes down. very rarely do you see brian chase out of the zone. adam jones comes up he does not have a hit. ball four a strike here's the bottom of the ninth. he just missed. sac fly roberts tied the gym at 8. we are now in the eleventh. high bounce. gets it to first. two men down in the oriole eleventh. and well, one of the rumored trades about three years ago, was arredondo, aybar, and santana who will pitch tomorrow for miguel tejada da. that might have worked. two down, here's nick markakis. here's one for five with a two run homerun. there is a strike. looks like he took that pitch to get a look at the stuff of arredondo. that side 1-1. i wouldn't think this game continues, johnson comes back in, he has already pitched two innings. one of two. brian bass is getting loose in the bullpen. 1-2 on nick markakis. tie game 8-8 in the bottom of the eleventh. the angels haven't scored since the seventh inning. the orioles got a run in the eighth on the wieters pinch hit rbi single and a run in the ninth to tie it. each team has 13 hits. there are only two pitchers remaining in the angels pull b

brian roberts a two run homer double and steal. figgins four for seven with three doubles three rbi and three lungs scored. the angels have won two out of the first and the series obviously will don't tomorrow night here at baltimore's camden yards. rick dempsey is faking this loss very hard as he would as a player i think at this point. when you look at it, how difficult of a game when you think back and recap it in your own mind is it to lose after you battle back and tie it twice? >> i was talking about it in the 13th inning it will be a lot more difficult for the orioles because they actually did come back. rick talked about the deficits you have down 4-0. brian roberts hits the homerun. then you get the nick markakis homerun to tie it up 6-6. at the end of the day, you had a guy you hoped sooner or later is go going to start pitching well. the orioles take advantage of the  ♪  ♪ tell me who's watching. (announcer) it's right here. it's easy. ♪ i always feel like somebody's watching me. ♪ it's the mo

brian roberts has 44 doubles. i better get andino out because roberts is next. et's see what could happen. look at those numbers on this homestand. so two on with two down. and brian takes it inside. now all of a sudden o'sullivan has lost the strike zone and he is not getting those close pitches he was early on. >> jim: that ball an inch inarch half off the inside corner. could have called it a strike. didn't. the inning is over but the orioles get two back and pull back within two. luke scott's 20th homerun on the year get the birds going.   >>> in preparation, you guy a great job. i don't know to leave that out. yeah i'm amazed. you guys really. i watch a lot of baseball. since i don't have to work every night. you know, you guys are the best. >> jim: well thank you pregame and post game. it would be better if the orioles would start winning games. we'd all be better. as good as we are. i just follow your lead. >> jim: rivera takes a close pitch for ball one. >> jim: how about a shut down innings? the angels 66 times this year, 1 out of the last 24 gam

roberts will take that one outside. briannot had a lot of success against the toronto pitcher this is season, .231. even with that average and without a home run against them this year, he has six rbi's against the jays. he has a chance for more here with two on. 1-1 delivery on the way. he strikes the strike. we thought that might have been away. >> buck: he seems to have a surprise reaction that he call this is a fastball away for a strike, that the strike zone really hasn't been much of an issue early on. ty wickington had the called strike three from ricky romero, not ricky ricardo. >> gary: here is lucy. here is the 1-2 delivery. way inside and the two wall ball, two strike count. i was going to say that. >> buck: i knew that. >> at least five times during the game. i waited until he was out of the game. >> gary: i wanted to say ricky ricardo. i was right there. two ball, two strike count object roberts. the runners on first and second. way outside and the count goes full 3-2. to say the least, the fans of the jays are n

brian roberts deliver as round ground ball. when it works, it looks easy, doesn't it? 61 rbi force brian. fundamental baseball. that's going to fall in for a base hit, off the glove of laporta. the throw to second is not in time. pie goes in standing and holds the bag a double and an rbi. pie jumps on the fist pitch he sees. he has been swinging a hot bat. valbuena with thing the and laporta in the outfield. the first pitch tailing away from him. he stays on it, but wigginton at third base. he is going to knock him in. he tries to smoother it and makes the strong throw to the wag. for some reason he didn't slide. if he slies there is no contest. he almost cops up off the bag. >> are you going to keep your foot on the base? >> gary: you can't call that time out until you stop moving. >> gary: the pitching coach has come out to talk to carmona. talking about how hot felix pie is. he has picked autopsy 1-3 in this ballgame. pie is now 15 for his last 42. up around the .350 mark. he has three doubles atriple, three home runs. he has scored nine runs and has eight rbis in th

here is brian roberts for his second at bat. brian roberts has been getting on base 25 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the american league. joe mauer also on that list. markakis had a 38-gamer earlier this year. ball one outside. >> jim: michael aubrey heading to third. there will be no throw to the plate, and on on rbi double by brian roberts, the orioles have a 1-0 lead! >> buck: jim had mentioned earlier the importance and significance of five runs, what a good ball club this is. when they score five runs or more. and certainly against scott baker, you're off to an encouraging start. baseballer has been awfully tough in the first three innings, and then after 4, he's had a tough time keeping the 0 opponent from scoring. >> jim: izturis too late on the swing. >> baker checks reporters, not likely to go with two counsel. cuddyer has a play moving over towards the line, and he has it for the out, but the orioles get a run.  our 737s fly to over 65 cities across the country every day. pa announ

. >> gary: now brian roberts has a 2 for 2 ballgame. ian came in with only three hits against the a's on the season, in the previous four games. he's already got two added in this one. brian hitting .293 with runners in scoring position. the orioles down a run. they've outhit the a's 7-4. that will be taken inside for a ball. roberts has the orioles extra- base hit so far, a double in the third. then he was thrown out trying to score on a ground ball with the infield drawn in. >> jim: they play very shallow. >> gary: down to first and base hit rbi, izturis on his way to third. the orioles have tied this ballgame right back up at 2 and an rbi hit by roberts who is 3 for 3. here's your speed factor. >> jim: very rarely do you go from first to third at camden yards. here's your sinker. good throw by sweeney. moeller is going to make it 2- 2. >> jim: the orioles doing a nice job of adjusting. he's lost three in a row, he's only won one out of his last seven appearances. this is an opportunity. before you get into the better part of your bull

so 2-1 the count on brian roberts. and there is a chopper toward 3rd this. is a tough play for carroll. throws on the run, throws beyond the 1st baseman . here is ty wigginton coming to the plate, and he scores! so the orioles get the lead. 2 errors on the lead with the indians. and the birds back on top. >> buck: that was going to be a tough play for carroll. ty wigginton got up the peanut butter line. carroll starting at 3rd base, coming in and makes a fine play, but marte can't flag it down and steps ahead of the throw. so. >> jim: so that will be a single for brian roberts and the error on carroll allows wigginton to score, no rbi. and here is a fly out of first step back. fly ball, left center field. he got a lot of it. sizemore back, this ball is gone! into the bullpen for a 2 run home run for felix pie! and the or less grab a 2 run in the 3rd. >> buck: felix pie has really come on strong. that pitch is away from him. Á3-mile per hour, and he -- 93- mile per hour and he hammers it into the bullpen. i have to give you a tip to terry crowley. he has work

brian roberts batting right handed.. >> jim: with him, mike scioscia plays conventional baseball. doesn't play the line. a lot of times you'll guard the line with a one run lead, which i never thought made a lot of sense. there is another good breaking ball. now moved back to third base. there is all kinds of room down the line. that is probably the way you should play, that is where you started the game, why would you change just because it is a one run ballgame? inside breaking ball. broke too much. >> jim: how many times have you seen guys get out of position and the guy hits a single and the next guy hits a two run homerun and they lose? >> hunter shading the other way. brian hits toward left center field. back it goes. that ball is bouncing into the bullpen for a double. he hit it against the defense. tying run at second, nobody down. >> jim: then if you throw a breaking ball, it is the third breaking ball fuentes throws to roberts. look where it end up. right in the middle of the plate. 45th double, two run homeru

so brian roberts one out of two.lready two at bats in this game, and the orioles have two on after two men down. jo that's the beauty of that two-out walk that blackburn issued to mohler. turned the line-up over. now you have two on, and izturis batting, and he already has a hit in this game. >> jim: izturis singled to left field for the orioles first hit. he came on to score. izturis to right field. that ball is hit well. scudder reaches up, and maybes the catch. he halls it in for the out. cuddyer makes a nice play and the orioles cannot score. @  . >> jim: jason kubeldhs lea off the person machine second. hard hit ball to first. luke scott has it, and he'll go to the ball unassisted. well, the learning process continues for luke, and how about that, you snap your finger, the ball is on you. >> buck: well, that's the hardest hit ball luke has had to deal with at first base. this is just his fourth start, and he has a little smile on his face, i did it. i did it. he hit it hard. no problem, had it all the

a chance for brian roberts, running throw and a good play and good positioning as roberts was shaded. squeezed hill to the middle and that's exactly where he hit it. two down. >> buck: especially on this artificial surface. so positioning becomes very important. this ball skipped right over the monday and there is roberts shaded up the middle. >> gary: good off-balance throw. >> buck: this turf will create top spin and sometimes that ball won't pop up as high as you expect. >> gary: two away. berken has a chance to have a 1- 2-3 inning. we talk about the numbers. forty in total bases. he has been red hot here in the many of august. >> gary: it is amazing to see this trio. here are these two teams with roberts, jones and markakis, scutaro, hill and lynn. you e more -- enormous offensive numbers for all six of those players all hitting at the top. the delivery is a line drive to center. jones coming. he's there and he's got it. so berken retires the side in order. each pitcher get as one, two, three to start it out. one complete. no score. now at chili's -- start your three-course meals

you know, brian roberts struggled in what we called struggling the first half of the season. it might seem likele that would have been a great batting average for me. for roberts, it's subpar and has turned it on since the all- star break. the double, the home runs and unbelievable five home runs the last road trip and amazeing in six games and brian roberts is starting to do it all and he's actually put them on his back and carrying the ball club right now. the little guy the leadoff hitter. >> when we come back, it will be another edition of our sunday feature dempsey's dugout. @ hey i'm worried about mrs. lowenberg next door. why? i don't know she's wandering around the lobby, yammering about fios tv, internet and phone all for $79.99 a month. she seems crazy. actually, fios customers get that price for six months. it's like getting three services for the price of two. so am i the one that's crazy? no?

brian roberts doing a good job of getting those extra-base hits. he and atkins letter of texas, jimmy rollins of the phillies, scutaro and granderson among the leadoff hitters with extra bases. brian has a comfortable lead over them. >> jim: he is the only leadoff hitter in the top 10 in extra- base hits in the league. he's tied for second. fouls it back the other way. 2-1 the count on roberts. >> buck: big numbers on the road including four home runs and nine rbi's. within more game after this to complete the road trip. if we can win these last two games in minnesota, it would be a pretty nice trip through tampa bay, chicago and minneapolis. >> jim: izturis at first drove in a run. orioles have a 3-0 lead. pitch to roberts fouled back the other way. we talked about the orioles starters in our game open how well they pitched the last time through the rotation. minnesota won four in a row and in large part because of their starters. they have three of the wins and a combined e.r.a. four-game winning streak for their starters 2.77. you have a rookie t

. >> jim: so, here is brian roberts, who has two hits on the day, and takes low. ball one. brian has an infield hit, single to left field, wigginton was gunned down the plate by matt laporta. high fly ball! right center field. tagging is wheater, sizemore getting under. make it is catch. collides with two and they go to 2nd base. so, run back, lead it 5-1.   >> buck: you see the two outfitters get their signals crosses. it is a stuff day for outfielders battling the son. communication not too great. sizemore steps out to have way, didn't have a shot at all for tagging and scoring 3rd base. >> jim: there is eric wedge. 2nd out of the inning, but the orioles still have izturis on at 1st. masterson leads, perez coming on and the lead at 6th. from over 15 chili's favorites, like our big mouth bites -- the mini burgers with giant layers of flavor. or a half-rack of our triple-basted baby back ribs. then save some room to share a decadent dessert. a lot of bold flavors, for a limited time only. chili's --  >> buck: last night's game, gave up just a hit. single to ma

brian roberts' third. juan rivera hauls it in. roberts ties the game.the orioles lose in extra innings not by a run, two, three or four, by nine. the angels dodged the bullet a couple of times. they get nine runs. that's not easy to do, by the way. >> watched the prince george's championship and you're thinking tiger's getting ready to make his move. never made his move. but it's good for golf. >> it's great for golf. >> something different for a change. >> first asian to ever win a major. >> that was cool. >> thank you. here's a look ahead to our next hour of 11 news today. >> how the governor plans to reduce the budget shortfall and what the lieutenant governor has to say about it. >> legal woes for microsoft at 6:15. why the company must appeal a ruling or dish out millions and stop selling a top program. >> and we'll take a much loser cloork at tropical storm -- look at tropical storm claudette. >> and a nice dry scan. but the tropics firing up. stay tuned. >> nice on the roads. no delays yet. we'll get you up to date. >> two people are shot at the

brian roberts got a solo home run in the 3rd inning, and as it goes it ties the game 1-1. roberts facing floyd again in the 8th. another big fly for roberts. two homers in one night, this after, remember, he hits a grand slam at tampa bay last night. two wins in a row for the o's. they beat the white sox in chicago. 5-1 is the title. get greedy, go for three in a row. masn on wjz tomorrow. coverage at 7:00. in d.c. today the nats introduced the highest paid draft pick in baseball history. pitcher steven strauss burger is welcomed by ryan zimmerman. fans paid a dollar to see his press conference and watch the nats game. >>> ray lewis and the ravens are ready to wrap up training camp. that will end the four-week session. the ravens say they broke their all-time attendance record of fans going to training camp practices. next, a preseason game against the jets in baltimore monday night. tonight the debut of brett favre in minnesota. he's waking himself one smelling salt. his first toss with his new team goes incomplete, and he was hit pretty hard in the process. welcome back f

but brian roberts burned him with a solo home run in the third. that tied the game at one all. fast forward, roberts versus floyd again. in the 8th advantage roberts again. another big fly swatted out of the park. two homers in one night for brian roberts coming off a grand slam at tampa bay night before last. two wins in a row they beat the red sox -- white sox, pardon me, in chicago 5-1. can they make it three consecutive wins? find out tonight when they play the white sox here tonight on wjz at 7:00. >>> moving right along, up the road in aberdeen, harford county, the cal ripken little league world series -- sorry, that's the wrong video. forrest hills of florida did beat mexico by the final score of 7-6. >>> moving right along, they say what that's all for sports? signals a little mixed up there. >> i can't believe the orioles first time they have won two consecutive games in two months. >> in two months. >> that's not a good statistics. >> don't talk about it too much because they are going for three tonight. >> let's hope so. >> thank you, stan. >>> coming up tonight at 11

the orioles brian roberts in the top ten in disloan bases playing in the game. >> he has one more stolen base than roberts at age 35. >> 0-1 and that's a strike and a change up. he didn't like that call. tillman got it. >> it tells you something about bobby and mike sosa angels offense. their ability to take somebody, bobby hitting most of the year in the number two spot because of injuries to tori hunter they expect him back by sunday. he has moved down in the line up a bit. expivment it's taken down low. this angels team coming into the ball game in stolen bases they are second. on top tampa bay the only team that scored more. great offensive numbers, first in average, third in slugging second in on base. it is the opposite of the general way in which the angels have made it to the postseason in past years. team that was built around pitching particularly saw its starting pitching this season is going the route of the bat. just a lot of runs. one ball, two strike outs. breaking ball by tillman misses. and a two ball two strike out. >> tillman really holding the ball just in case may th

it falls in. >> brian roberts did not start because of a contusion. he said he wanted to play. dave trembley said, as far as the training staff goes, that would not happen. brian says in his career, for a while, this has been the first time he has sat out because of injury. >> jim: big surprise he is sitting near the crow. here is what happened yesterday. >> buck: he fouls it directly into that left shin. he would stay in the game, finished that at-bat. he could not answer the bell for his second at-bat. >> jim: adam lind takes it outside. lind is the dh for toronto. he is an outfielder by trade. 26 years old but get most of his at-bats as the designated hitter. fouls it back. the blue jays have a pretty good 2-3 punch, if you will with aaron hill, 26 home runs and adam linbatting behind him with 23 and they bat from opposite sides of the plate. >> buck: and they are high average hitters. power hitters and they drive in runs. so that's very difficult to get into the new of the game with the second and third hitters. >> jim: matusz misses outside, ball 2. matusz in his minor leag

not so fond of the place, brian roberts, said he never felt comfortable here. the price is too big.one thing everyone agrees on, it's going to be cold when they have to play outside. depending any what type of the year it is. now back up to jim and buck. >> all right, thanks very much. good to have you with us here on this series, as the orioles take on the twins, and there's the look in right field for the metrodome. you can see it was built for football. >> one away here in the first inning. stating line-up force the birds.    >> good at bat by izturis. draws the one-o >>> scott maker has allowed 22 runs on the quire in his 22 start be, but check this out, only four left-handed batters have taken him deep. we've already seen, buck, he's trying to go inside and outside. >> buck: .224 average with only four home runs allowed on lefties. that just speaks to his ability to get the ball inside to left- handers. he is more dominant on that side of the plate, and hasn't had the same success bringing the pail in to the right-handed hitters. >> ji

brian roberts can't play because he fouled a ball off his shin yesterday. adam jones bats third. welcome to roch kubatko. how about the trade of greg zaun? >> how can you trade a guy who makes the best food? >> tom: that's right, two days after he won. >> it will be a player, not a cash transaction. it's not like a cash transaction with rich hill when andy mcphail just collected the change between the seat cushions. there will be a player coming back. we don't know yet. chad moehler offers the same things that greg zaun does, he is a pack stop. he will block the pitches in the dirt and will block the trade. the question is, why do you make the trade? it's interesting, dave trembley says he wants matt wieters to start playing more regularly, maybe six times a week. they brought him along slowly. matt wieters is excite. he says he has never been playing this little. greg zaun was a starter, now, twice a week. and then they're going to say, hey, can you play once a week? and chat moehler, you know, he has not played. greg gets to play in tampa where he has a h

brian roberts is in the are lead-off spot. with a home run and 10 runs scored. reimold in left with mora at third. matt wieters will catch and caesar izturis at shortstop. adam jones, he has been on a tear since the all-star break. >> he really has. as far as i am concerned this guy is superman of the american league. his second year at the major league level. this guy is just capable of doing anything. he never ceases to amaze me. the breaking ball down the other way. now what we have seen, the development of a very short, quick, powerful, balanced swing. it wouldn't be out of my imagination to see this guy get hot and hit almost 40 home runs. he is certainly capable of doing that. he gets his pitch and he makes somebody pay. >> and for the bliewjs tonight, scutaro, hill and the d.h. is balling third. .330 ample, 11 home runs and over 30 rbi's in his home ballpark. overbay at first with vernon wells in center field. alex rios at right. and edwin encarnacion and joe inglett in left field will bat ninth. it is the orioles and t

brian roberts a big opportunity in the 6th inning. yesterday he hit into a double play in this situation. not tonight. this one is deep to right. a grand slam. 4th for roberts in his career. that would give the orioles are 4-1 lead. after the rays got within a run, 2 on for nolan ryan. he dials deep. this one is a 3-run homer. the o's needed every run. it was just enough. an 8-7 victory. they snapped the losing streak. the next stop is chicago. the ravens are on home turf. mark clayton ahead of schedule in his recovery from a hamstring injury. he ran on the side. don't look for him to play any time soon. two more days of workouts at the college. the next preseason game is monday against the jets. preseason action at indianapolis. peyton manning and the colts. here's what teams hate to see. the star quarterback hit hard and fumbled. the eagles recover. just to prove manning is okay, he comes back to pull off a big play. he does the rest. the colts cruise to a 23-15 win over the eagles. the ravens play the colts in november. >>> records

. >> and brian roberts will have a reintroduction. my colleague wrote a great column today hammered through the details why roberts is back in form. two home runs last night, giving him five in the last six games. he is playing the game with the energy level needed to set the table. they go for a third straight win tonight against the white sox. the ripken world series championship game. we pick it up in the bottom of the first. that is a memorable swing. three-run shot to right-center. that started things off. 3-0 usa. now it is 7-6. a solo shot. florida makes a pitching change. diaz is the relief. florida wins the world series 7- 6. please stay with us. we continue right after this. >> here is a look at the stories we're working on for tonight. housing sales provide new insight in hopes that the economy could be bouncing back. find out why the economy is to blame for overcrowded animal shelters and how you can help give these adorable pets a new home. >> not a great day. >> the day was -- eh. with all of the rain we are getting tonig

brian roberts to 1st base.an will take do it the bag. >> this is a audition for john who will be a free agent unless they are sign him. for them to get to postseason. 98 and 68 at age 30. >> the orioles he's one of the names that comes up in the discuss about the orioles looking for another starter. their numbers against the east probably one of the reasons why, but, in spring training lackey wanted sabathia numbers. from $9 million he earns now to over 20. >> good luck. >> that's what the angels response was. have a good season and good luck. >> jim: he missed the first 6 weeks with forearm problems. he's awfully good when he's healthy he will win games. they won 5 out of last 6 convictions. second best -- divisions. >> you will win a lot of the games with a ballclub scoring the runs the angels are,. >> i was looking, i can't believe their starters record. the starter records 47-29, but they are among the lowest 4, the highest 4 e.r.a. for starts in the american league gee they have had injuries. but again, th
