bryce harper one for three with the homer. five and a third innings, nine strikeouts and carlos beltran's big night. two homers. nats return home to close out the season and i can't believe we're at the end of the regular season against the phillies. >>> all right, nationals fans are feeling an attitude. hundreds of them traveled to the show me state this weekend in hopes of seeing their team clinch the division. of course, no celebration but they still had a good time. dave owens caught up with some of them as well as the players in st. louis. >> well, nick looking forward to get the pins taken out in tampa tomorrow. again, left sider field, way back. goodbye, home run. >> well, here's the way to describe what happened in st. louis this weekend. how about phhhh. the nats played like a team that wanted to win. st. louis played like a team that needed to win. the results, they were pretty ugly. >> we've got to play the type of baseball we know we're capable of doing. we didn't do that today. bounce back tomorrow. >> it would ha

bryce harper, 1 for 11 and ian desmond is the only strong point in the offense, 7 for 12 and stranded on base most of the times. tomorrow, kyle loche is on the bump for the cardinals and that might mean a good thing for the nationals. he has a 6-9-3e.r.a. against the season. the pitchers can't give up early runs and the hitters need to bring the base runners in. >> certainly, thanks, lindsay. you have to credit the cardinals. this team is built for the post season, obviously, last year, and this bunch is a resilient group and i would expect them to sit down in here. >> for sure. >> and justified -- joined again by paul wagner. you and i both n2004, remember when the city council -- to find the stadium. the washington post poll had 2/3 agreeing with the city council. >> yeah. >> and we're here in the play- offs and we see fans rolling out of here in the sixth inning. you wonder what is the big message? >> and there is natitude. >> i don't know what happened i had a blast at 10:30 this morning and we talked to fans in the park and the guy -- i got some folks to show me how they did it a

bryce brown. he should have the first down. kansas state seventh round pick. brought in by marty mornhinweg. once the head coach at detroit. >> cris: boy, is he worked up this week. he could not believe how many mistakes his offense made in arizona. and for perry fewell, he's getting late substitute. >> al: vick. with time. throws. incomplete. jackson was the closest man to it. second and ten. >> cris: one of the thins that you really have to do against great pass rushers is occasionally don't back up, occasionally go after them the way demetress bell did here. see how he's going to jump off the ball early, but he won't take those big kick steps. he's going to surprise osi umenyiora before he gets out of the stance. >> al: they run that play again. havili with the same eight yard gain. tuck works it back there. works the first time, works the second time. >> cris: this time mathias kiwanuka. but when you have a west coast offense, think back to bill walsh and those day, their fullbacks are athletic pass catchers. >> al: third and a short three. with pressure.

i want to mention that bryce harper took it for the next level yesterday.ear any eye black at all but he wore red eyes. he had these contact lenses. the latest trend with professional athletes. >> he looks like the devil. >> these red contact lenses are supposed to reduce the glare. he tried them out yesterday. apparently, he reported he was able to see well and he did make contact with the ball well a couple of time. >> i wouldn't start using it in the playoff. so it also says here do not aggressively tear the material from the skin. >> you're fine? >> it's coming offer. >> very good. so sharon, thank you for the question. nationals, thank you for the eye black. go nats. we wish you well for today's game y -- >> for the first time in weeks being i can actually see my weather map. >> julie wright is here now. i'm sure he have a got plenty to say about what you just saw. >> i can hear it now. >> as soon as i go to traffic, i'll hear this ow, tony! this ought to be interesting. i think for tomorrow's segment, it should be the removal of this. >> how do you ta

. >> schieffer: we have seen some extraordinary young players this year not the least of which is bryce harper of our nates, trout out there with california-- the angels. jane, i want to ask you. you wrote this book about mickey mantle, which i've just said i think is one of the big biographies i ever read about a baseball player. it was really a book of great sadness when you-- here's this kid who came up at 19, just like bryce harper did, got hurt his first year up, never really got past that injury. you always have to wonder what would he have been like had he not been hurt that first year? but how do you compare harper and young people today with mickey mantle? >> i went back, bob, and looked at the 1951 september stats for those four guys. and, you know, willy maze was the 1951 ml rookie of the year. he batted .233. he was the not reason the johnson ended up beating the dodgers. mantel, messa-messa. in september. he was sent down in august, because of his elbow and there were questions whether he was enjoying the high life too much. trout had the magnificent year but tanked in sept

bryce brown is the running back here. and they get it. brown will get taken down just inside the 3. and the giants now will take a time-out. so it will be third down and goal with 1:54 left. i mean we've been here for five hours and it only feels like four. it feels like four tops. this year, we're finally getting everything... ...that we didn't get last year. yeah. big screen! true 4g. yup. sfx: bing! hey, what did you just do? i just sent him a playlist. by touching phones? yup, simple as that. it's the galaxy s3. i'll see you at the studio later. later. when do you think we're going to be able to... do that thing? on the next one? vo: the next big thing is already here. the samsung galaxy s3. >> al: the wheels are spinning right now. if you're andy reid, what do you do? do you call a pass play? the problem with a pass play, if it's incomplete, you get your field goal but you leave coughlin with a time-out. if you run a running play and you don't get it, you make him use his last time-out assuming he chooses to use it at this point so he would have no time-outs. of course for the

joining us is robert bryce at the manhattan institute.eastern seaboard, when fires in the ocean to employ 70,000 people is that realistic number? >> i don't know where numbers come from but if you look at what the assumptions are in the report we are assuming 7,000 megawatts of offshore wind. offshore wind is expensive to build, $5 million per megawatt. you are talking about a $35 billion price tag to create 70,000 jobs. that is $500,000 per job. we could create jobs in any industry but the wind industry is claiming we will create lots of jobs but it is that a high price to consumers. stuart: $35 billion total. that would have to include a big chunk of government subsidies. >> all of these wind projects are dependent on some government subsidies but they are also the problem is if these are built they will come with very high cost of electricity. energy information administration estimates offshore wind prices will be in the neighborhood of $240 per megawatt our. last yeaa the average wholesale price on the east coast for electricity was

nacionales, y es que gracias al trabajo de los lanzadores gio gonzalez y stephen strasburg, el brío de brycede washington lograron suficientes victorias entre abril y septiembre para que, a pesar de perder en el primer día de octubre, aseguraran el título de la división este de la liga nacional. a pesar de caer 2-0 ante los fili, los nacionales se apuntaron su primer título de división desde que se mudaron de montreal en 2005, gracias a una derrota de sus escoltas, los bravos de atlanta, por 2-1 ante los piratas de pittsburgh. washington, líderes desde el 22 de mayo, festejaron merecidamente su primer titulo en los vestidores, algo que no ocurria hace muchos anos a un equipo de basquetbol en la capital. contra todos los pronosticos, sin estar en la lista de los llamados favoritos al inicio de la temporada, los nacionales cambiaron la historia y hoy los vemos como la gran sensacion de la liga nacional. en la americana la lucha sigue, anoche en san peterburg la florida, alex cobb permitió dos inatrapables en siete entradas y ayudó a que los rays de tampa bay a derrotar 5-3 a los orioles de bal

stephen strasburg even did the limbo but not bryce harper. he's only 19 so he shared apple cider with la roche's son. fireworks, beer, more champagne. it was a moment that they have dreamed of for six straight months and yet even after 96 wins, the best record in major league baseball, it was a moment that almost the team couldn't even believe was actually happening. >> this is pretty unbelievable. to get us to this town, this city, this team, speechless. >> coming out in the spring, nobody talked about us having a chance. we kept our noses in the game. every single guy stepped up. it's a huge accomplishment. we're happy to be the league division champ. >> we've come a long way. it's been a good year. we've done some good things, a couple bad things but to finish on top is something i'll never forget. >> we've come a long way in a short time and we have a long way to go. we have a good young club. i think we should do this every year. >> reporter: every year, i think that's something nats fans can get used to. look at this. look at this beaut

. >> reporter: it has been an incredible rookie seen for bryce harper. his number 34 jersey is now the fourth best selling jersey in major league babble behind derek joseph wrighter and josh hamilton and ichiro suzuki. assuming the nationals do make it to the national league championship series, game five, if we believe this will that be bryce harper's birthday. he will turn 20 on october 19th, possibly the day they play in the national league championship series. who knows? >> who knows. all right. let's hope that is an owe men to good thins to come. thank you very much. >>> making headline this morning, a violent crime spree in frederick that includes the city's first murder of the year. early sunday morning, 36-year- old lamont ellis was found shot dead in an alley. friends and family members gathered at a haven't ill last night. while fox 5 was working on the story, conducting interviews at police headquarters, shots rang out. -- family members gathered at a vigil last night. one person is stabbed and is in serious condition. no word for the two inci

the guy says i'm bryce harper's dad. you never know.per's dad sees the nationals t-shirt. >> did he pull out the baby pictures. >> how cool is that. >> we were lamenting game five from about two weeks ago now and how we have the world series game one, number one tonight and how this could have been us. we want this to be us so badly. we don't want want this. this was the monsoon to wrap things up the other night. justin verlander, you got to beat him twice, maybe three times if you are st. louis and he is the best big game pitcher right now in baseball. it will be a tough task but you can't just win it with one guy. but i think that is what detroit and their pitching staff is trying to do. san francisco is an incredible story. they staved off elimination six times in a row in the postseason. >> okay, they deserve it. >> they've been a resilient team. >> who you pick something. >> san francisco giants in six games. they had the guy with the beard a couple of years ago. >> he is hurt. >> he is hurt. >> because of the beard? >> what about

it makes me feel tough, though, if i could do the bryce harper ultimate warrior thing.'t know if that comes in that sticker form. not for me, no. >> stop while you're ahead, dude. >> history will be made tomorrow afternoon in the national's park where the nationals host their first playoff game in the district. -- stop laughing. since 19334. the nashlgs facing the cardinals in game three of the national league division series. edwin jackson pitching for the nationals. chris carpenter gets the call for the cards. workout today this afternoon. davj johnson and mike rizzo taking it in. he's battling strep throat. the fateam returns home for gam three, four and potentially five. a lighthearted loot, no doubt. i think that's why we worked so hard during the regular season. we split and gave ourselves a chance to come home and went a series. if we do that like we've done a lot this year, then we'll be in a good place. >> you're in a situation where you're playing home for three games and you've got to win the series. i think we've done a good job of winning the series at home

stephen strasburg apparently even did the limbo but not bryce harper. the all-star is only 19. he had to share some apple cider, nonalcoholic apple cider with adam la roche's 9-year-old son. 22 home runs he still can't drink the bubbly. minutes earlier the team celebrated on the field. fireworks, more shame pain. it was a moment -- champagne. it was a moment they dreamed of for six straight months. it was a moment they almost couldn't believe was happening. >> it's unbelievable. this town, this city, this team, it's speechless. >> in the spring nobody talked about us having a chance. we kept our noses in the game. every single guy stepped up. it's a huge accomplishment. we're happy to be the nl east division champs. >> we've come a long way. it's been a long year. we've done some good things. done a couple bad things but to finish on top is something i'll never forget. >> we've come a long way in a very short time. we have a long way to go. we've got a good young club. i think we should do this every year. >> playoff baseball means playoff merchandise. and this is the t-shirt t

and guys like bryce harper. and going out and trading for geo gonzalez last year who has already won 20 games. they put together the team the right way. and i don't think this is is a flash in the pan. i don't think this is a one-hit wonder. i think the nats will be a player in the national league east for many years to come. >> i think you're right. i think they've done it the right way. still a couple of games left to go in the season, right? >> yes. 96-64. they have two games left. and there is still something to play for. because they're tied right now with the cincinnati reds for the very best record in all of the national league. and if they can best the reds they will be the number one seed and maybe they will have homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. a little quirky system this year. they're going to open up on the road this weekend. either more than likely at atlanta or st. louis, and they will have to play the first two games on the road. they still have homefield advantage, the last three game

the introduction this year of mike fratello, bryce harper, two guys representing their leagues very,l. >> joe: got posey looking. 95 mile-an-hour fastball right at the knees. one out. tonight's game is sponsored by samsung galaxy x-3. and by bank of america, the official bank of major league baseball. vogelsong exits, as pence comes up empty. strike 1. casilla and affeldt, they were warming last inning. they are getting up now. popped up right side for descalso. two out. game summary is brought to you by liberty mutual. two out here in the bottom of the seventh inning. angel pagan has two lead off home runs this postseason. first got to do a jimmy rollins, he's the second. led off to right. scutaro had another two-hit night but left with a left hip problem, and then vogelsong has been outstanding on the mound. he's gone through seven. allowed only four hits. even chipped in with a double leading off the sixth. great arm action by shelby miller. as mike matheny described to us before the game, comes right over the top and has a good downward plane with his fastball. tough to hit. as t
