load the bases for cristian guzman. loathing them up in the -- leading -- loading them up here in the top of the 2nd. >> bob: a lot of foot traffic. this is wil nieves who was walked intention fullly ahead of jordan zimmerman. then zimmerman who got the big hit and then willie harris walks. first ballgame underway today. next one will be tampa bay at toronto, in about 25 minutes. in the national league east, the mets are in walk against pelfrey who is 5-3. they are back of the phillies now. and atlanta faces cole hamels after that extra inning walkoff inning against the phillies by church for braves. cristian guzman likes hitting in the daytime, batting .384. >> rob: with the lights on? that's nice. although the nats. >> -- i have not seen the sun here >> it's been cloudy and overcast. look at this, ichiro and adam jones from the american league, liking the day games. >> rob: magglio ordonez with the big average. >> bob: cristian guzman 0-2. he has to make contact somehow. 0-for-9 in this soaris and 0- for-his last 13.

chris and -- cristian guzman is next. >> rob: i really liked him in the champ, by the way. oh, that was rickey schroeder. i'm sorry. >> bob: look at guzman -- pardon me, morgan flip one to left field. that looked like a cristian guzman swing. nyjer morgan is hitting over .370 since coming to this ball club. >> rob: i think the discussion last night really pumped them up for tonight. they're running around the bases, running around on defense, giving a great effort tonight and i think they're a lot more aggressive and it's shown in these at-bats. nyjer morgan right now, 7-0 in the sixth. maybe a little bit too early to stop running. may steal second. right here he might go with no outs, station to station. cristian guzman, good contact man. >> bob: i think 7-0 is a little beyond the point where you're going to be running on somebody. >> rob: 7-0 in the sixth inning, with our bullpen? >> bob: we've seen a couple of ballgames this week where teams have come from nine or 10 runs back. >> bob: there's a game tonight, 9-1 they came back and tied it. >> bob: guzman base hit. this i

>> rob: now cristian guzman, it's cristian against the padres, enough said there. but he goes upstairs on the high fastball and right to the left of the geico sign, what is that, like a little ambulance or something back there? what is that thing back there? upon bob might be. let's hope we never have to find out.   fastball is in there to ryan zimmerman, the nationals have hit their 84th homer of the year. the padres have given up their 109th and it's a 2-1 game. ryan is hitting right-handers at a .300 clip. target away. he goes out and gets that one but that's not going as far. hit hard but gwynn was playing deep and he takes it on the track. three consecutive balls hit to straightaway center field to start the game. >> rob: they have taken that fastball right back towards the middle, goes 95 miles per hour. haveve to come up with something off-speed to pitch at this level, though, young man. >> bob: there is adam dunn.   so adam 10 for his last 21, elevating his average to .274, he has a .548 sh

he has one fewer multihit game than cristian guzman this year. 36. guzman, 37.n has had 12 as a nat already. he's had an amazing month. >> rob: i always believe good things come to good people, really good people as are nick and joe beimel. i hate to see guys go, but that's the business they're in. >> bob: we had a chance to say good-bye to nick in the clubhouse and he kind of looked at me funny when i told him i guess we'll see you tuesday because the marlins are coming in. that will be unusual for nick, i'm sure, so soon after the trade. the marlins are home this weekend playing the cubs. 1-1 pitch. morgan grounds softly. no way they're turning two on this and they know it. young to cedeno for the second out. if he -- if you got caught in friday traffic and wond whearg we're talking about, left- handed pitcher aaron thompson comes not nationals for nick johnson. he was the only nat with the franchise upon the move from montreal to dc back in 2005. .409 on-base percentage this year, nearly .400 career a great character guy. a fun guy to have in the clubhouse f

cristian guzman playing it perfectly, straight in. he had the momentum towards the bag that zimmerman did not. >> rob: i'm just enjoying that. >> bob: you don't like that guy a whole lot? >> rob: not very high on bonifacio. he has too much nicks on me. great play by guzman on a very fast player. doesn't look like he got him but we'll take the out. >> bob: pretty close. bonifacio out of the box. probably cost him a hit looking at cristian guzman. >> rob: had he put his head down and dug for first, he probably would have had a base hit. >> bob: game still tied. days. how come? well if you're hurt and can't work it pays you cash... yeah to help with everyday bills like gas, the mortgage... ...and groceries. it's like insurance for daily living. so...what's it called? uhhhhh aflaaac!!!! oh yeah! that's it! aflac. we've got you under our wing. a-a-a-aflaaac! we've got a ton of stuff we've gotta pay for. and a few things we want to pay for. on top of it all, we're still trying to put away some money for the future. with the wish list, we ca

cristian guzman, outta' here. ay center field early in the ball game, his first ab, only his fourth of the year. and later by a small guy padres second baseman luis rodriguez. he went deep. juan guzman on the fastest 3g network, at&t, your world delivered. top of the seventh, jason bergmann a second inning of work. quinn, cabrera and gonzalez for the padres. jason and i had an interesting conversation the other day. he bristled a bit when i pointed out that he has struggled in some of his second innings of work this year. he said "eh, i used to be a targetter, i know how to go two," i said"okay, let me see a zero up there buddy and we'll talk." i mean it was a good-spirited conversation but he takes pride in the fact he can pitch more than one inning in certain situations and the other night he had to get one batter. tonight he is going to have to pitch more than one inning. >> rob: i have been told that you're kind of harsh on these young guys. . >> bob: wow. >> bob: he is gonna knock that one down, have plenty of

now, cristian guzman and jim riggleman acknowledges this, is not the most patient hitter, if you have a base stealer in front of him. but if he is getting base hits, so what? i wouldn't be surprised to see the nats give that a try at some point. austin kearns jacks one to left. [ cheers and applause ] . >> bob: great swing, a one- hopper to reed, first and third, one out. and a chance for willie harris to get washington on the board. that's the best swing austin has had in a while. >> rob: well, it's a little cutter, actually a sinker in on the hands of kearns. the bat head out quickly on that one. right now, willie harris, you got to make it pay right here. try to get a double. stay out of the double play. peck away. have some fun. old time baseball. >> bob: nats have four hits. and the count is even 1-1 to willie harris, who walked first time up. willie's driven in 17 this year. 30 strikeouts in 166 at bats. so he makes contact about 80% of the time. chub 2-1. but not livan's true change-up. when he really throws it it's in the high 60s. >> he'll drop that curve ball in there 65. th

they have cristian guzman coming up and burke badenhop is getting ready. >> rob: the pitching coach is out there reading him the riot actment you should have got ahead of the pitcher. you gave up two runs on the one swing of the bat to the nine- hole hitter. that's one thing about the luxury in the american league that you don't have here with the pitcher hitting, they have the professional hitter in the nine hole -- nine hole. a lost times, it's a leadoff contact-type guy or a guy who really knows how to handle the bat. that crow is tasting mighty good right now. >> bob: cristian guzman has not had two good at-bats tonight. this would be a time for one. pretty much got himself out last time. >> rob: well, grounded to short. this time right here,th really put the nail in it is a nice, deep fly ball. don't want to hit into a flay double play. you have the pitcher on first. hit something you can drive. >> bob: that's hard hit. runner coming home. can they turn two? yep. the nationals hit more ground balls with the bases loaded than they ever should. that's a rally killer. they still get

second inning bases loaded for cristian guzman. one through to the left side.bard home. 2-0. 6th cristian guzman on second for ryan zimmerman. 63rd for zim. nats up 5-3. bottom half now. casey mcgee. two-run shot putting the brewers up and they win 7-5. camden yards. adam jones homered in the first two games of this series. you can make it three. puts a coat on that hanger. two-run shot. 17 for him. nice week for jones . os take out the royals 7-3. >>> michael phelps hadn't lost anything in four years but today we learned that losing makes michael phelps faster. at the world championships in rome a day after getting beaten michael phelps rebounded with a world record in the 200-meter fly. 151.51. his 34th career world record. passes mark spitz who had 33. >>> hosting the boston breakers. dc star abbey in alone. 72nd minute. leading the freedom to a 1-0 win. >>> finally we have seen plenty of outfielders climb the wall to save home runs but here is an outfielder who caused one. getting a glove on this fly ball but actually pushes it over the wall. want to get aw

look for cristian guzman, final all-star. vote for cristian guzman. ends at 4:00 p.m.time on thursday. all right. so approximately 40 hours or so left in that process. maybe more. here is juan rincon. a teammate of cristian guzman in minnesota. was with the twins from '01 into '08. spent some time in cleveland signed by the tigers and now he is a rocky. brought him up on june 20th from triple-a. willingham. fastball right in there.   that's in the hole. to troy tulowitzki. out at third. [ cheers and applause >> bob: that makes up for the previous play. >> rob: good pitch on the outer half. great play by troy tulowitzki. only play is to third base. nick johnson out by a step. i don't know why nick was looking at troy tulowitzki. he looked twice and that's probably what slowed him down. >> bob: i think base running is as bad in major league as i have ever seen it. >> rob: you know you're forced at third. you've got to dig and nick looked back at troy tulowitzki twice. >> bob: yeah. there is guzman now. runners at first and second. two outs. and these ground b

although guzman doesn't work the count much. cristian that 5-6 fielder's choice that trapped morgan off third base his first time. nationals have four hits in the game already. and then the uniform will get a little dirtier.   cristian guzman got ahold of one last night in the first inning, his fourth home run of the year. he later singled and lined out to left. so it appears guzman is getting his line drive bat, when he hits home runs that's the kind it usually is. low and gone in a hurry. >> rob: not just for our team, rodriguez for the padres, his second home run of the year, showing some pop. >> bob: the little guys went big last night.   >> bob: guzman's driven in 25 runs this year. he's three for his last eight. 2-2. and he obviously has a great arm, but he appears to be a young pitcher who struggles when it comes to putting away a hitter. home run hitting zimmerman next. a little tapper up the middle. he'll have to hurry, he got him. and a run scores. that ball took one extra hop, cabrera co

. >> reporter: cristian guzman is now 0-for-his last 16.hnson needs to deliver a two-out hit. he blooped one into right field. 1-for-2 and is 2 for his last 27. but a big spot for nick to put the nationals back on top. they are underway with tampa bay at toronto. zimmerman at third and harris at second. that a.l. east is interesting. tampa bay is now only four how the. nick johnson will hate two- hopper right to dan uggla. nats need to win a ballgame in this ballpark. they are not helping themselves right now. 2-1 score.

. >> johnny: one for willie nar ritz, cristian guzman.d not and ryan zimmerman went 0-for-5. nationals had some golden opportunity, had at least one runner on every inning and just could not take advantage of it. >> ray: i'm going to us a word for manny. frustrated. you get these guys there. guzman chops one to first after the harris single. johnson then gets sawed off. we left 13 runs on bases. zimmerman swings at a bad slider away. then 2nd inning. guzman swings at a bad ball, slider down. 32nd inning, second, third, one out. single by zim, double. hernandez gets a pretty good ball to hit, just hits it on the ground there. then in the 4th. guzman grounds to 1st on the very first pitch, johnny. and then johnson sinker away. he hit the ball so well the other way during the course of the season early. pulls a ball. that's a total of nine runners left on base already and ground ball to third, nice play by bonifacio there. 7th inning runs. willingham just missed the ball. i thought it had a chance. it must have gotten on him. 8th inning, sam

as cristian guzman steps in in the top of the 7th. >> rob: cost efficiency. >> bob: we are outsourcingeverything? >> rob: absolutely. >> bob: i find that a little sad. >> rob: hey, we want the chinese people to be our friend. they make our baseballs, that's cool. >> bob: guzman, bonifacio grabs it, robs one. no business make that go throw and we are getting real close to having the teams pulled off the field. they are calling for the ground crew right now. this is crazy. it's going to be a rain delay at 2:15 eastern time. i mean an immediate monsoon. i don't know if the kids are screaming out of fear or absolutes delight. they have to love this. >> rob: they are all jumping around. they want to go out there and play. >> bob: we counted 70 seconds last night it took the crew to get the tarp on the field. these guys are used to this drill the way weather continues to just come in and out, it leaves, comes back, returns, it's crazy. >> rob: so like with a pitcher throwing to home plate, are we going by when they open it up, when they started it rolling it on the field. >> bob: i say when

and it is not cristian guzman, it as totally different dynamic with the patient nick johnson in theres two walks, two for seven, two rbis in the series. and another number 2. the count. 2-0. >> rob: they said before with gaudin, he is mountain and/or cold and seven walks. and 4-44 in the last two outings. and 9-8-11. gave him the under construction and great stuff just not great command of it yet. talked about it too, with our guys. sometimes you have two, three pitches you can throw well. doesn't mean you can command them all at the same time in the same game. sometimes you have to pick two of them and stay with them and work on them. and perfect them as best you can. >> bob: padres signed him in the second week of april as a minor league free agent. after the cubs let him go. they had to pay him with rich harden in a five player deal. >> rob: he has a strong arm. surprising to me, they let him go. >> bob: 2-1. and way outside. career record of 32 and 34. his 67th career start. he has worked a lot of relief. and as many as 55 games with the '06 ball club. 202 games in his career. 3-1

for today, willie harris and cristian guzman behind him.uzman, a great ratio to the 59- games he started. remember, he lost a couple of weeks early on the season on the d l and he is fourth in the national league with those multi-hit games. but a disappointing month of june for the nats. it's the 1st of july and they have a tough assignment on the first day of this assignment as josh johnson brings a 7-1 record with a 2.76 e.r.a. >> rob: yes, he has been tough since coming back from tommy john surgery. 14-2 since coming off surgery but the team, 23-7 since then during his starts. 14 ground balls against the yankees, 12 against the toronto blue jays. as we go back to the first start this year or back in may against colorado, 17 ground balls. he is a great team guy. he is definitely the ace of this staff. >> bob: marlins, 19 errors, and not much of a change except for first base except that ross gload will get the start. zimmerman -- and willie harris leads off. first pitch from josh johnson and a ground ball under the glove of uggla. >> rob:

cristian guzman backed up to the box.ere comes alberto gonzales, right behind him wlie harris and the nats have a 5-4 lead. now tied at five in the 9th. this is nyjer morgan. thas a base hit. here comes willie harris. can he score? michael bourne out at the dish of the we go to the bottom of 9th and here comes geoff blum. oh, no, not again. miguel take laid a scores. the -- miguel tejada scores. the nats still winless on the road. >>> o's without manager dave trembley suspended for this outburst earlier in the week. top of the 5th blue jays up and here comes alex rios. jays blank the birds 2 -0. >>> from baseball to biking, tour de france, second stage. lance armstrong dropped a spot to third place. his teammate alberto contador breaking away the final sprint of mountain. >>> the caps big time move in free agency signing center brendan morrison for a one year deal for the 12 year veteran. morrison has scored 20 goals or more four times in his career. >>> how about golf. phil mickelson will not play in the bishop next week

look at cristian guzman. in left field somehow getting alex cora.eeps the shutout in tact and the bull pen can't blow it when they don't pitch. 106 pitches for the first shutout of his career. meanwhile, troubling news on the steve staussburg front. they are not on pace to sign the number 1 pick by the august 17th deadline a source says close to the negotiations saying nats have offered nothing more than a standard minor league deal. there are talks ongoing behind the scenes. >>> os visiting the yankees. bombers won it last night with a walkoff. no such drama necessary tonight. 4th inning robinson cano, two- run show. 6-4. >>> i believe it was the great george allen who said there is nothing like the playoff intensity of world team tennis. if our beloved washington castles want to experience that they must win their final two matches of the season the first of those tonight in north west against the new york buzz and nadya ranked number 10 in the world holding double duty tonight. castles crush the buzz 23-12. >>> uz u.s. cup semis. burying the rebo

ball over cristian guzman's head.mmunication play much that's whereas a pitcher you need to turn around and know who is covering second before you throw the pitch. >> bob: fielders choice. error on joe beimel. bases loaded. one out. clint. folks we are trying to sit here and not feel like this game is slipping away but it is really tough right now. nats make their third error of the night. >> rob: it is not just that, bob, it is you're killing yourself. you're beating yourself with some of these plays. i can't honestly sit here an say, oh, yeah, the colorado rockies are really taking it to us tonight. they are not. no hits in this inning. >> rob: no hits in the inning. nothing but walks an errors. starter didn't have it tonight. he had four walks. five innings. four innings. >> bob: and a ball out to center. morgan catching it. rockies take the lead. look at this. what is going on with seth smith? the run does count. boy, casey better not be watching somewhere from somewhere because we are wondering if anyone can play

. >> rob: still a great play by cristian guzman. >> bob: next up will be their dangerous man, adrian gonzalez. >> rob: that's a great effort right there. a guy with a little less speed and that's an out. this is hustling out of the box. >> bob: see if he does that first time up, he's standing on third base. >> rob: and maybe gets home. because when that ball kicks off the fence, it got by josh willingham. >> bob: adrian gonzalez is trying to make it 7-2. he's hit 25 homers this year. adam dunn just tied him in the national league home run race. albert pujols 34, but nobody else has more than 25. >> rob: albert's in his own club. >> bob: they had him leaning. he'll get another talking to from his manager if he gets picked off down seven runs. nice to show off the speed and be aggressive, but you could -- you get picked off, that's just as dumb as what you did the first time. >> rob: that was tight. that was very close. >> bob: it was. >> rob: and i'm sure that jim riggleman has told all the pitchers, especially after they did the fielding practice today, about holding runners on, too.
