ron villone is ready for carl crawford. so this becomes a vitally important hitter for joel hanrahan. here is b. j. upton bunting -- is b. j. upton bunting as early as the 7th inning, knowing it will be lefty-lefty after this? >> i don't think so. 8th inning maybe. 9th inning maybe. >> rob: you already have the tie at home. you go for the jugular right here if you are the rays. they just beat the yankees 11- 1. >> bob: they lead baseball with 353 runs scored. >> rob: i think they go to ped and they score run. oops, they just scored another. they have a very good offense. >> bob: third in homers behind the yankees and rangers. they hit 80. >> rob: they don't have a 200 million dollar payroll either. >> bob: big lead by the runner. upton takes one that misses low and inside, 2-1. >> rob: the yankees' third baseman has a 280 million- dollar extension, the first baseman gets 180 million-dollar to come there and play. that would be pretty satisfying to see what the rays did last year, 66 million and won 97. >> bob: i think every

carl pavano, from my alma mater.sorry, we've still got two world champions from that high school. >> bob: that ball out to center. it will drop in front of willie harris and a base hit for michel hernandez. now the nats get anybody out here -- can't get anybody out here in the 6th inning. reid brignac will be next. >> rob: all there's power hitters in the middle of this tampa bay line-up. two biggest boppers, evan longoria hits a little flair out to the outfield. then your number four guy bunts for a base hit. then the bottom of the order just crushes a couple of home runs. >> bob: i think those last two columns gave you a reason for colome's problems here in tampa. tampa bay, at least. willie harris will catch this one, off the bat of brignac. jesus colome, a 10-7 strikeout to walk ratio. in his years here. tonight's copyrighted telecast presented by the authority of the washington nationals may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form. everybody in this inning for the rays have batted except for the two speed

so carl crawford is going to dive in there and he gets hit in the ribs.me he has been hit by a pitch this year. >> rob: now, look at where he is. he is going to dive towards home plate. first step is towards home plate. he is trying to get inside. that's a pretty good pitch. >> bob: i can think of two hitters off hand that that would have hit, carl crawford and chase utley. guy just about as close to the plate. >> rob: probably four or five more that he has been able to dodge but when you are a diver and you are trying to slap a hart fastball the other way after that good sinker the pitch before, that's a really good, tough communication between bard and stammen. >> bob: now the tying run's on base. evan longoria retired on the one-hopper to stammen first time up. >> rob: here is the best base stealer in the american league, carl crawford. bobby abreu having a great career with the angels. >> bob: did he find a fountain of youth? that's a double steal, and the throw goes to centerfield. and the tying run will end up at third base on a throwing error by jo

. >> bob: carl crawford walked after upton stole second, then j.mmermann really went to work. >> rob: you saw the first ball that he fouled down the right- field line, knew he better get the bat head out early. got to get that bat going early, when a guy's throwing 95. >> bob: that ball well out of play. byron kerr, bring us up to date on what josh willingham and his family have been through for the last 20 hours or so. >> byron: john willingham, the younger brother of josh, 27, died in owe know a car accident in alabama yesterday. manny acta said josh has left the team early this morning. they're giving willingham full support. he said it puts the game and life in perspective and that willingham is a great guy and an outstanding teammate and they're thinking about him right now. >> bob: manny was visibly shaken this afternoon when he got together with the media. to give us the details of what had taken place, so our very best to josh, his wonderful family. and a very difficult weekend for them, losing josh's younger brother john. here's pat burrel

but carl crawford and rocco baldelli had never been in the big leagues. lou piniella named them as his opening day starters to take pressure off of them. >> bob: bouncer up the middle. anderson hernandez knew he had to hurry. he played it perfectly. looks like he is wearing some turf shoes tonight and the first two have been retired on a strikeout and grounder. nationals defense, defensively, adam dunn is the dh. so that is a big plus for stammen, retiring two of the fastest players in baseball and here is evan longoria, second in the american league with 34 extra base hits. only mark teixeira has more with 36. raul ibanez is the major league leader with the phillies with 38. you think sits sense bank park is not jumping tonight. jon lester, joe blanton, red sox and phillies, last two defending world champions. all good breaking ball. >> rob: you can make a great argument against strasburg and what his agent is saying. this a kid who came out of nowhere, six games into the major league last year, they gave him a long-term contract, goes out and wins rooki

carl girshman. >> thank you. i want to begin by just saying that i am both honored and deeply humbled to be here today. and also to speak, immediately after these great heroes. many of them my friends have stood here on the podium. later this month here on capitol hill, the national endowment for democracy will honor five brave cuban activists, three of whom are in prison, by presenting them with the goddess of democracy. the statue that was unveiled tiananmen square and stood for five days before destroyed by a tank, 20 years ago today. and that to gather those who were in tiananmen square, and countless other chinese citizens who had risen in protest in over 370 chinese cities across the country. from the northwest to the deep south. and it's since become a universal symbol of democracy. which is why we have given it as our democracy award since 1991 to brave people in all regions of the world who are fighting for democracy. as you all know, there are some people today who think that the united states and other

carl crawford on the run. gonzalez taking about five stems and came back. two outs. it will be up to willie harris. by the way, willie harris had dropped his bat in the on deck circle and he was running to home plate to serve as a possible traffic cop or base coach for alberto gonzalez. sew the rays will go to the left hander here. j. p. howell has been running up. a runner at third, two outs in the 8th in a tie game here at the trop. times the bills i used to. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want. being in control of my money feels good. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way. for the next minute, i'm gonna show you what it's like to have verizon fios. these are your widgets, they let you put whatever you're watching down here, while you check out local traffic, weather, even your news up there.

carl edwards has been a master at that track in recent years. >> last year carl was one of the best at. now we have a new guy, tony stewart. he got good at saving fuel at pocono on sunday. the roush-fenway racing team cars have been heads above most recently. >> i think when you get into a situation and everybody runs well, and you go back with your expectations higher, it seems it always works out. i know michigan gives options to drivers, they've got three or four lanes and they'll use every one of them. in a year roush has struggled, each of their drivers has said so. they were really good at pocono. despite the fact that the results did not show it of because it ended under fuel mileage. all three of the big three of roush were up front all day. >> with nascar's new double-wide race starts should be interesting to see those on the michigan wide track. >> they're going to exploit that. if you can imagine being sixth in the old system where you lineup sixth. now you can be third on the outside. and you can take the lead going into turn three, because the car, you know, the track is s

carl crawford has five assists and the best known player, of course, evan longoria.nny acta's nats, 16-42 on the year. this is the interleague stretch that we have been looking for, 15 in a row against the rays, the yankees, the blue jay, the red sox, and, again, the orioles. first pitch scheduled for 7:38. we are about a minute late here as garza throws to guzman. 90-plus outside today and very comfortable, low 70s in here. so guzman batting at .327, on base average at .343. home plate umpire, joe west, tight little zone to start things off. joe west is one of the deans of umpiring in major league, crew chief in his 32nd year. paul nart, paul schneider and paul rapuano. the rest of the crew. >> rob: he can go deep in the ballgame. >> bob: guzman only walked five times this year. >> rob: you can hear the glove popping over our mikes, he throws low 90s, mid-90s, but he will throw a lot of fastball. he does not even believe that he needs to throw a lot of offspeed stuff. he likes to attack hitters. >> bob: how refreshing is that? >> rob: it's fun for us to watch the yo

nationwide race in new hampshire motor speedway and joey logano and carl edwards. edwards and logano are pushing and edwards in the 60 cars. he is in the hit having problems. >> shake it off, shake it off. the crew down there, you are an excellent crew. that's all i will say. it is a rare mistake. don't sweat it. >> they dropped lug nuts. and back to eighth place. and led, and busch and logano are battling and busch squeezes ahead and stays ahead for the final turn. the final lap, busch comes around and takes the checkered flag and the fifth win of the year in the nationwide series. and 23 different winners in 23 nationwide race test oval track and new hampshire. and busch also has 10 top five finish this is season, which is tied with carl edwards for the most. and busch finished first or second in each of the last four races. >> still to come the rangers appear to be heating up after a recent offensive drought. can texas put up more eye-popping numbers? and also ahead, cheyenne woods sharing her famous uncle and sharing(announcer) uncle and what does greatness tas

carl on the line for democrats. caller: yes, mr. ambassador, you're very familiar with iran, obviously, and the squeography of iran and we've heard for the last few years, especially the 8 years of the bush administration, and the right wing elements in israel that perhaps we should bomb, carpet bomb, the nuclear facilities if they confine them in iran, and as a former ambassador there, is it not true that if the west gave israel the green light or actually participated in a bombing of the so-called nuclear facilities, wouldn't iran immediately, with their mobile missile systems, totally blockade the strait of hormuz, which would shut off about 50% of the world's oil, raise the price of oil up to $400 or $500 a barrel, and in addition, free up the revoluntionary volunteers from iran to take on our $130,000-member army currently next door in iraq and next door in afghanistan? host: ambassador dalton. guest: i agree with you the consequences of a strike on iranian nuclear facilities in the present circumstances could be much as you su

host: back to carl. caller: my second question is, does this delay things that could be done -- for example, 06 the minutes" had something not long ago where they forced florida power companies to make needed changes. they interviewed the guys that read the company and they said they were glad that somebody put their arm in it and it worked on their behalf. my other question is, why don't they just outlaw the fourth of july? i cannot breathe for three days after the fourth of july, even though fireworks are illegal in this state. guest: the fact of the matter is, we have had substantial delays already. a lot of utilities and non utility industrial in matters have delayed making their investments in new technology until they know what the rules are. as soon as we write these rules and placed a price on carbon dioxide emissions, that pent up investment that has not been made now for many years, awaiting clearer definition of rules, is going to be unleashed. that is going to create jobs. that will create a

approximate this is the place called carls bad fjord and you noticed this three-fingered area and this to be part of the mainland. now, every scientist who's studied greenland knows that it was warmer or as warm for an integrated period much longer than the current time in the early and mid-20th century and it just turns out that there's a weather station which is about 50 nautical miles away from warming island. it's not very far at all. it doesn't take that many clicks to get to this data either. it takes a few more than it does to get to the u.s. data but the danish meteorological institute has a very, very nice set of weather records around greenland. the integrated warming for the last 10 years around warming island would average somewhere around here and i would submit that's not much different than what you see here from the mid-1920s to the mid-1960s. what fact-checking editor would not ask, hey, has that been this warm in the past? or, b, is it really true that this thing has not been uncovered for millennia or something going back into the last ice age? in a climate of extrem

say that if -- it must have been a bill that i don't know who was sitting in the room, but -- and carl march would have gotten this product. it simply is out there somewhere, but it's a little hard to understand. the issue of what we're looking at here in the area of cost is really staggering, and i think we need to understand this. the cost of health care will bankrupt our country if it continues on its present course. we know, as i mentioned that medicare is expanding radically in its cost burden to the federal government. we than by the year 2020, 2035, 18% of the gdp will essentially be absorbed by medicare, medicaid and social security and social security really isn't a driver in this. it's medicare. we than we're looking at a health care system where the cost of health care goes up to 20% by the year 2020 and 20% of gdp and that's not sustainable under any economy because it basically absorbs the entire productivity of the nation. so we have to get this under control from a standpoint of fiscal health and we have to get it under control from the standpoint of making americans ins

two for four and carl crawford 2-4 and ramirez 1 for 4 and a.j. price getting the win.e's been struggling to get this win. the marlins held to just -- >> you know, with upton's solo home run, rays became the fifth team in the major history to hit 100 home runs and steal 100 bases. of the five teams, rays had the most stolen bases. they could challenge to have the most home runs, as well, but the stats don't necessarily mean victory, only the 2003 marlins actually won the world series the year they did that. >> get you caught up on the windy city rivalry. just saw the score change. 6-0 white sox. dye going yard in this one in bottom of the eighth to extend the lead for the white sox. and these two teams, well, they are pretty even all the way through as far as their matchup is concerned. and two-run shot in the game, 10th home run for this player. >> coming up next, the united states came away from soccer history. history. what a - ( "doorway" playing ) - ♪ i wanna feel you - ( camera clicks ) - ♪ i've gotta shake you off ♪ i watch the doorway ♪ you get right under my sk

by the way, don't forget about carl crawford after you intentionally walked this batter or while you're intentionally walking the batter. he leads baseball with 36 steals. usually nobody pays any attention to a runner at 2nd during an intentional walk. gonzalez hits right behind him to keep him on the bag. >> rob: great group of guys down there. you can't not root for the nationals. think of snake bitten. unreal. first you're tripping over your bullpen catcher, then it hits the base. kapler is hitting home runs back to back days. >> bob: great breaking ball down and in. willy aybar, hits the base right there. it's going to kick into left field. easily scoring from 2nd base, pena. the nats will go deeper into the bullpen here with joe beimel in the 8th. 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. times may be tough today,

we already figured it out, but it was carl pavano but it wasn't here, it was at yankee stadium, somethingelijah can treasure forever. it's pretty cool. we even have the videotape. we'll let you have a look. i was just delighted in the 7th inning stretch here. it's african-american heritage night here and a black rapper artist by the name of black zeppa did "take me out to the ballgame." i've never heard that song booed before. >> rob: i don't think they were booing the song. it was the effort. >> bob: and they have ludacris here after the game. by the way, virginia has tied that ballgame with lsu, 1-1 bottom of the third at the college world series. >> rob: well, i think black zeppa was watching colome throw. kind of slowed him down on his rendition. >> bob: it was about the same pacing. >> rob: as this game has come to a screeching halt. >> bob: that's the worst thing i've seen in a ballpark since two women with orange hair were booed off the dodger stadium years ago for doing a real buy bad national anthem. >> rob: i'm going need some standing can an here in a minute. >> bob: pulled to

upton and carl crawford. he has only given up two hits. a navarro base hit and b. j. upton one-out single in the third. the rays got their next run with their legs. high strike, 1-1. >> rob: there was a time, when you made an amazingly great play, great throw, whatever, there was a bang-bang play, the call went to the defensive player because of the greatness of the play. >> bob: ryan zimmerman looks that one all the way into his glove. and that is six in a row for craig stammen. great grandma zim. >> bob: there is the latey right in front of the sign. that's a patriotic-looking group over there. we always hear about uncle sam. who is the aunt? >> rob: is it 4th of july? >> bob: getting there. here is reid brignac. on the 4th of july this year, the nationals will be home against the atlanta brave. >> rob: the home of the brave. >> bob: jo that will be a day game. that will be cool that day, 1:05. >> rob: remember homer the brave, the mascot, he fired the cannon shots. >> bob: i remember before him, chief nakahoma. >> rob: that's right, chief nakahoma. >> bob: he had t

so did our bellingham mayor, mark sdmonson and carl weimer with the pipeline safety trust and that trust came into being thanks to the families of safe bellingham. so together with them and the great support of colleagues in the senate, senator mccain tock toa tremendous lead, and slade gordon and congress members, and many others, together we worked very hard and passed and president bush finally signed into law legislation in 2002 to give the office of pipeline safety the resources and the muscle it needed to keep americans safe. that law improved the training of pipeline personnel. it raised the penalty for safety violations. it invested in new technology badly needed to improve pipeline safety, it improves the inspection practices and, importantly, expanded authority to our states to conduct their own safety activities. so, mr. president, children today in every corner of our state are safer because the people of bellingham stood up and said we don't want this to happen again. but the work is not done. our law has reduced the number of pipeline tragedies there are sometime accidents

carl edwards, stone tony stewart, stewart beats edwards the mandates of palestine. with fdr sudden death april 1945 and the war coming to an end, truman would have to make the tough decisions that his predecessor had avoided. has four human misery, chairman would not have pointed only to the holocaust but also the terrible conditions of the jewish survivors still living in the prison camps after the war. soon after truman became president a former u.s. commissioner of immigration and now the dean of the university of pennsylvania law school concluded the jewish people living in conditions similar to those they experienced in the nazi concentration camps "only now we do not kill them" end quote. parker reading about the situation made him sick. he supported the conclusion 100 survivors in the camps be allowed to go to palestine and he pressed the british to have the mandatory 100,000 troops stationed to let them and. their british refusal to do this set off a chain of events which eventually landed the problem of palestine at the doorstep of the new united nations. t

carl crawford is then hit by a pitch. you are saying these two guys are going to run?you are exactly right as crawford gets hit and b. j. then takes off for third. this ball ends up out there in left field. the run scores and makes it 3- 2. throwing error by bard out there to left field. then he gets longoria and peqa, the 3, 4, hitters, striking them both out. that's what i like about the kid. he is not bothered by adversity. he gets a pop-up -- actual lit sequence is a fastball, sinker away, sinker away, good morning, good afternoon, good night as he strikes out crawford. then longoria, out, line drive to right field. ground ball, first base, peqa, zobrist singles. and he takes him out of the ballgame. actually longoria made the last out with 6th. that was in the 7th into that's a pretty good line when you look at what he did. 5 1/3, only two hits and two of the runs unearned. >> ray: very good line for this young kid that's just his fifth major league start. the impressive thing about him, he has something that, you know, it's tough to find. it's his aability to res

and the worst of them, the biggest racist there, houston baker, is a black professor, carl holloway is another one, houston baker even sent an e-mail to the mother of one of these students after he was exonerated, attacking her as the mother of a farm animal. houston baker was making undoubtedly -- well, i know he was making six figure income, probably $200,000, $300,000, went on to a better job at vanderbilt as a private university, the board of regents is controlled by conservatives. the conservative regents at duke protected, protected the accuser and protected the lynching. they supported it. why? because of duke's good name. you get rid of the white racist. there's -- conservatives have efor must leverage over these universities, because they are the biggest contributors, because there are whole legislatures, which are run by republicans. but that's what i said earlier. there is no academic reform movement, there are few isolated groups. most of which take a distance from me, because i've been so attacked. but you know, they're good people, and i'm sorry, we can't mention them now

in his remarks this afternoon senator carl challenged the notion singing and by quote an idea that's been floated by the president, senator durbin and others, and of quote, of closing guantanamo. senator kyl didn't mention who these nameless others who agree with closing guantanamo or agree it is a recruiting tool for terrorists might be. let's take one for example. chairman of joint chiefs of staff mike mahlon and i quote. the consort had about guantanamo is that it's been a recruiting for those extremists and jihadists who would like us. that's part of the concern for guantanamo's continued existence. that was a quote from the chairman of joint chiefs of staff admiral michael mullen. retired air force maj matthew alexander led the interrogation team to track down the leader of al qaeda in iraq. here is what major alexander said and i quote. i listened time and time again to foreign fighters and sunnis, iraqis and many states the number one reason they decided to pick up arms and join al qaeda was the abuse at abu ghraib and author iced torture and abuse at guantanamo bay. it's no e

i have been to carl levin. i have been to john dingell's office. i have been to debbie stabenow. i have been to gary peters office, who works for the financial committee, and nothing has been done. host: i'm going to jump in because it is hard for us to do with individual problem the program. for comments on policy and what is in the news, let's go to louisville, ky. bob is calling on our independent line. caller: thank you very much. my name is bob and i have been involved in three businesses. the first one was heavily regulated by the federal government if you think the federal government is there to help you in any business that you involved in, you are not because they are sold -- you are nuts. there are so heavy handed, they will micromanage our business until there is no business. the second one is the auto industry. i have been in finance sales management, the whole 9 yards, closing, everything to the third is the housing industry. i will tell you, when they talk about community reinvestment act, fannie and freddie and all this good stuff, i went to the real estate and saw

carl on our line for republicans. go ahead. caller: good morning. thanks for c-span. i just wanted to say, rick, i commend you guys for standing up what you believe in. i just have an issue with your comparison when it comes to gay rights and civil rights. i think there's a big difference. one, you make a choice. the other one, you know, there was a situation where you were placed in slavery because of the color of your skin. if you were gay and you were white, you were not a slave. so i think when you use the comparisons of civil rights and gay rights, i think there is a big difference there, because like i said, i commend you guys for standing up, but i think your comparisons shouldn't be put where there is a situation, where there is a color and comparative choice. i hear that often, and i think that folks should have the right to live their life that they want to live as long as they're not hurting anybody else. but i think we should make honest and true comparisons when it comes to situations like gay rights and civil rights. caller: well, i appreciate that under

this is why there are no men -- it says, dear sheila, is carl stalling after being driven a short distance and caused by a variety of faults with the engine. start by checking there is no debris in the fuel line. [laughter] hit it is clear, check the clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the in level. even on of these approaches solves the problem could be the fuel pump itself was faulty. causing a slow delivery pressure to the carburetor, float chamber, i hope this helps. [laughter] [applause] thank-you. now let's talk about the book about the media. just before i came here i found out from some of my sources in washington that right after barack obama became president, i mean right after, he learned that in the economy wasn't even worse shape than he thought it in order to save money u.s. forced to lay off 17 journalists. [laughter] now, why is that a joke or? because like most jokes that work, there is an air of believability to aunt. how much believability? well, the pure research center which is one of those down the middle nonpartisan group took a poll at the end of the campaign right

. >> host: we have a twitter from carl the rights medical providers should not make a profit, let them provide services and the government return a living wage to them. on our independent line, jack from champaign, illinois. >> caller: hello, just want to make a couple of comments -- i don't agree that the government should offer a plan to compete with the private insurers here and i think that insurers themselves do compete with each other. in one that will take a lot of employee -- pardon me, public education but one other thing such as the enzi qa, if people would pay attention to organizations like that that might help them make decisions. i do agree that they should do away with a pre-existing condition clause because that definitely would allow more people to get coverage and if we have to help subsidize people who can't afford it than a payroll tax i guess at this point even though it would fluctuate on a year-to-year basis payroll tax might be one way to pay for it when you're talking about rescission, my last point, there was no pre-existing condition clause and decisions woul

i grew up in carl's district. we watched as he went from a wayne county commissioner to michigan state senator and then into this illustrious body. and as a young person growing up getting interested in politics, carl's example was an inspiration. it showed that a fine and decent gentleman could come from the smalltown of plymouth, retained his main street dues and do the people's business in the people's house. the last several years had not been kind to carl. he is in a far better place, and we are all diminished. our best goes out to his family, and we'd appreciate it if we keep him in your prayers. i yield back. mr. upton: mr. speaker, i ask for a moment of silence. the speaker pro tempore: members will rise. members in the gallery will rise for a moment of silence. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, five-minute voting will continue. the question is on passage of the bill. all those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the bill is passed. >> i ask for a recorded vote. the speaker pro
