by the way, byron kerr for johnny holliday, it is a terps football saturday tomorrow.an uggla followed by cody ross and cameron maybin. bottom of the second. 17 pitches. 10 strikes for martin in the first inning. he throws a hard breaking ball to the corner. 2-1. dan uggla hitting only .242, but maybe the heaviest .242 in the league. fastball. he's late for it. 27 homers. 75 rbi's. so, uggla has a chance for another 30 home run season. he will be a free agent next year. there's some conversation about his availability going on around this league. not the best defensive second baseman. if you have the kind of ball club where you need some offensive damage from that position, not usually associated with that position -- >> rob: right, he hits like a third baseman or first baseman that you would want to hit with power. he doesn't plate greatest second base as you said. >> bob: we've already seen that tonight. >> rob: that's a bad choice ifeel on his part. take the sure out at first like you said. pitcher is coming up. you'd have two outs. j.d. martin at the plate. instead

thanks to pastor of byron baptist church. >> we sat down and decided to put together a program on mondayst's extremely low cost. we just don't want to do child care. >> reporter: that helps a few dozen students. a group of moms came up with another plan. >> several of us are getting together, getting our children together on mondays and letting the children experience things they sometimes can't learn in school. we're just making the best out of a delicate situation right now. we talk about anything from the seven continents to the five oceans, counting, anything that are age appropriate exercises. >> reporter: susan clark says there are no easy options. she believes she took the least damaging course. >> are you willing to take the risk to do what you believe is in the best interest of the children or not? >> reporter: there may be more tough choices ahead. the county expects further budget cuts in january. >> four day school weeks were introduced in the 1970s. they've been pretty popular in rural areas where long bus routes result in high transportation costs. in colorado alone about 60

we've got you under our wing.  . >> rob:  i was just handed by byron kerr, our crack reporter,ing back to saturday, the nats have scored only two runs in the last 26 innings. no runs after the 7th on the 29th. one on the 30th, one on the 31st, and zero in six tonight, and in the first 8 starts for j.d. martin, after you see the strikeout of willingham on a good breaking ball by richard. he was getting 7.62 runs per outing in his first 8 starts. tonight, nil through 6. but he's been up for the challenge. two runs should get you a win most times, unless you're pitching against clayton richard or cole hamels. >> bob: to talk is 1 for 2, he has pulled the ball to short twice. changion, right off the end of the bat. it was looking like a good trip when the nats won the getaway day game at wrigley field. two out of three for the cubs. >> rob: then that silver fox came in here and sucked all of the runs out of the press box. >> bob: ray knight showed up and the offense didn't, and he's the hitter. >> rob: yep. >> bob: can't blame it on him, though. >> rob: yes, i can. he's not here. >

think the kicker, anderson, was that another democratic senator from a border state, north dakota's byronorg dorgan, sent the homeland security secretary a note saying you're spending money like a bottomless pit. that got her attention. and i think that pressures what led to it. >> all right, drew, thanks for the report. >>> next, doctors and dollars. one m.d. takes on health care costs saying greety physicians are to blame for the problems. everything changed. i didn't know what to do. right about then, our doctor mentioned the exelon patch. he said it releases medicine continuously for 24 hours. he said it could help with her cognition which includes things like memory, reasoning, communicating and understanding.

. >> linda, another hot amendment, byron jorgen has an amendment to allow prescription drugs to be imported from canada, europe, new zealand and japan. critics say it would break up a deal the white house made over the summer? >> certainly the senator has a strong feeling about this. it is extremely important to lower the price of prescription drugs as part of health insurance reform. the white house and senate finance committee and pharmaceutical industry have an agreement to have the pharmaceutical industry contribute $80 billion toward health reform. that's money that will lower the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. it is money that's going to help make insurance affordable for all americans and lower costs. so $80 billion is a commitment that the insurance industry has made so far. it's a good deal. >> let me ask you about senator widen. one of the things that he and a lot of others have been critical about with some of these democratic plans that it doesn't allow people, doesn't give them any room to maneuver when it comes to picking their health insurance. let me play what he sa

but as byron york of "the washington examiner" points out that was certainly not the case back in 1991 1st of that year, president george herbert walker bush spoke to students at a washington area junior high school. and unlike the anointed one, president bush was slammed for holding the event. the very first line of a front page "the washington post" article, the very next day said, quote: sean: that's not all. democrats even called for a full investigation on how the speech was funded. they held hearings on the matter and they forced the then education secretary lamar alexander to testify before a congressional panel. call me crazy, but i don't expect to see a similar story on the front page of tomorrow's "the washington post." but we'll see. now tonight marks the return of a segment called the land of the czars. now with the resignation of van jones, and with more radicals popping up in the obama administration each and every day, we are going to shine the spotlight on the shadow government that president obama has created in this country. so, let's take a trip back to the land of c

i was down there with byron pits.> you never really talk about this. i just learned this a couple weeks ago. you were -- the building was falling and you were just standing there in a days and byron grabbed your hand and threw you under a car. >> well, he pooled me away because i was locked in the moment. a building come down in front of you took my brain a few moments to believe was actually happening. we ran from the plume of smoke and ash and debris, and then got into a school and got to work and reporting on the story was the best refuge from the reality, actually. but eight years later now, we still remember. there are some interesting pieces in the paper this morning about how this event effected young people who remember it. pre-9/11, versus post 9/11. it's interesting to see how it affects the young people let alone the people that there were there or lost somebody. we are counting down to the moment of silence. >> joe, obviously, we are counting down. we have a minute and a half. but talk briefly about afghan

what's byron doing in there, writing in his mem wars? >> bob: working hard in there. >> rob: 2-1 take right here is low and outside. that one looked like it came back out across the plate.   . >> bob: rob has problems wi that pitch and he did a great job of laying off to fill the count. thanks for staying up late with us on masn2 tonight. we have had the baltimore yankee audience join us. thanks for being with us. it's a 2-1 game. >> rob: put another pot of coffee on and join us until the wee hours of the morning.   >> bob: 3-2 and he walked h will nieves just conld a bullet going through the zone. >> rob: i think he stole one right here. there is the plate. no, no, he -- >> bob: kept the hands out in front of the bat.   . >> rob: notice my drawing hasn't improved with three days off. >> bob: good pitcher in his own right. buddy black, dar recollection balancesly. livan hernandez, along with elijah dukes hitting the hardest balls tonight. 

let's go back to byron and ray with more. >>> look at the numbers, sarasota, florida the 20-year- oldght future with the nats and looking for infielders that can play ball. >> he's an offensive shortstop. talk about his range and yard, he hit .330 this year. each year he's getting better. he's hit 15 home runs in a season. he has pop. this year he had 25 doubles. he's able to hit for extra base hit. >> now it's time for hold of the day presented by just for men hair color. the minor league hopes for nationals. wilky with 12 holes. tyler cliff order now back with the big club. just as though keep the team in the game, you can stay in the game with just for men hair color. coming up the nationals and the phillies. who'll start in the top line for each team? we'll have the details after this quick time-out. in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $30. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airlines, bags fly free. grab your bag. it's on!

thing is that we started to include math, for example, in the licensing test for aspiring teachers, as byron elementary school teachers. and 75% failed. and that's because apparently they never had to pass math requirement in these exams in the past. so we are in process of i think elevating the importance of math, science, technogy and engineering. i think that the state believes in the importance of this for the state economy, as well as the national economy. and i think this is bringing it right up into the headlines in the front page of the globe. so that is all good things. but we have to figure out how do we educate the educators and providing the background they need to educate the students. so why should we be concerned and higher education? well, as i said, we have to worry about the pipeline. and that means that we have to figure out how to help with the education of the students and the attraction of underrepresented groups. and again, we are concerned in elevating the profession of engineering so we would like to increase technical literacy for all of our k-12. but there is some
