and then jason heyward, this was a shot. right over that wall in center field.ave a lightning quick bat, and then mccann with a a little roller. but then livan kept on pitching. and they were able to get the win tonight. >> the phillies, the mets are 15-12, the nationals 14-12. only within game out of first place. atlanta with a loss tonight falls four games buy hind. >> i'm here because of you, pard. >> oh, man. to left field, that ball, and then rodriguez the zinger to center. 15 out of 20 games he has hit safely in. and then desmond, big rbi. he has gotten a lot of big rbi's for this ball club already this season. he has talked about his defense. he's getting big clutch hits, and then a breaking ball that was up. he crushed it. sky high. would have brought rain if there were any clouds up there. and then adam hits a ball just about another 40 feet farther to right field, up in that second deck. three home runs, the first time we've done it since way late the season last year. 100 on the all-time list, tying ronny gant with his 320th home run tonight, so top 1

heyward? we do. on your watch, these are extremely difficult times for us

almost everybody except for prado and jason heyward in your line-up is slumping.ant to give them any help and wake up their offense. and a 1-2. i to chipper jones with the target away. livan just misses low. chipper more walks than strikeouts this year. and that's nothing unusual for him. >> rob: ups store pitch track right here, sinking fastball just below the track, against chipper, tremendous career he has had. >> bob: we do a lot more than shipping at the ups store. 2-2 now. got him! to livan didn't get the low call, but got the high strike for the first out. and chipper jones out of strikes for the 12th time this year. >> rob: the beautiful sinking fastball right there. 84, took something off. the one thing about livan, he's made over 400 starts, so he knows, okay, it didn't work against mclouth, i'll take a little bit off. get a little bit different feel on it. >> bob: beautiful swingback action on that fastball. mccann takes ball one. brian is hitting only .242. one of the most dangerous left- handed batters in the league. >> rob: don't go to sleep on mccan

going ton lineups with a lot of lefties where he's going to see action every night >> braves have heyward and mchas been those are situationuational guys >> believe me he'll get his innings when the nets get him back, there are certain fightings where you want to turn him and reyes around from the right side bottom of the 7, fish 5, nats 1 bouncer, zimmerman, second base, fantastic playing hurt, we all know that, and as brilliant as ever >> i come tell you i never get tired of watching him play the game cameron hits the ball well, throwing from the knees and throws a strike once again not happy seeing cameron hitting the ball don't want to get that kid hot >> he's next 0-2 with a walk last inning for walker pitcher due to the 7th at the top of the 8th ramirez next trying to get a ground ball and out of the inning next look by walker coghlan, tired of waiting just checking, because i think i know the answer of this he's the hitter; right? just hit his first home run of the year there can't be too many guys with him on the box score >> he's an excellent hitter >> yes, he is 2-0 to coghlan h

in a new interview, bp's ceo tony heyward said that, "the gulf coast oil spill is relatively tiny compared to the very big ocean."

jason heyward at 20. gaby sanchez with florida.aving great seasons certainly with the bat. 17 rbis. again, and they've used him if various places in the lineup. the upper third, middle third and bottom third. >> jim riggleman was asked, what's been the key so far to the success of ian desmond this year? >> i guess the key is just his athleticism. such a good athlete that you know, he's got a lot of minor league at-bats. played a lot of baseball. he's not a baby, he's 24 years old. he's -- you know, he's here at the right time. you know, he's got enough experience in the minor leagues. he's had his player development and he's a great athlete and you know, all those at-bats that he's had the last few years are kind of culminating into him being ready to play here. >> if i asked phil wood, which i will right now, if he had one year after the game to -- area of the game to work on, what would it be? >> i'd say throwing -- throwing in the field. he draws the occasional walk, has pop in the bat. but the thing about ian desmond, johnny is

heyward said, i believe the cap was largely irrelevant and that all legitimate claims would be honored. it's my understanding, however that under current law, any amount that b.p. spends over that $75 billion is eligible for reimbursement from the federal government's oil spill liability trust fund. if we exhaust -- exhaust the trust fund, any additional funds will have to come from the u.s. treasury. some would say in effect, you have every incentive to pay over your liability cap because under current law you won't have to bear any of that additional cost, however, you could receive a fair amount of credit without paying that cost. if citizens are receiving checks and letters from b.p., they'll have -- they may have no idea that the federal government is actually footing the bill at the end of the day and the american people, i don't think, should be left subsidizing that kind of effort, if there is such an effort. today i'm asking the general accountability office to examine how the federal government is protecting against fraudulent claims to the oil field liability trust funds and

heyward again swinging it. deep to right. hunt r pence has got it! don't do that in front of the home folks, they pay to see the rookie hit home runs. oh, well, all is well that ends well. >> i got company, matthew barnaby with me. one game in the stanley cup players tonight. the giant killer montreal canadiens. they took out alexander ovechkin and the canadiens and now took their can turn against sidney crosby and the defending champion pittsburgh penguins. crosby, ready to go. scary moment for the canadiens. their good big defenseman markov clears it then goes down hard to the ice the matt cook with a hard hit. is this clean? >> to me this is clean. you is just finishing your check. clean check, but always draws a crowd. >> penguins got a power may out tv and they would capitalize. already 1-1 with the extra man. ponikarovsky. scombroorn stahl gets it back. what is the difference between the penguins' power play and the capitals' ineffective power play against this team? >> first of all they had structure. i think a lot of it was because montreal w

nationals try to win this series and when you talk about the atlanta braves, one guy -- how about jason heywardid. big play, ray. >> ray: that's putting a moniker on him with the say hey kid willy mays -- he has it all, y'all. i don't know if there's anything other than strasburg that has more media attention but he can hit the ball a mile, johnny. people compare him to ken griffey, jr., with how he swings the bat. he came up through the north could beb team that had francoeur and mccann, markakis -- tremendous development, organization, where they travel ball all summer long, played as many as a thousand games over a ten-year period. he began when he was 11 playing in the league. all that was high pressure. not hitting for a great average but certainly that longball he is stretching out with and a lot of rbis for this ball club. >> johnny: this kid is 6'5," goes 240 pounds. looking at home runs, 11 in 2008 with rome. he came back and hit only ten home runs with the macon ball club last year. is he not a power hitter? just a slow start? >> ray: no, he's a power hitter and nobody wanted to pitch

heyward added, "about the we are participating full until investigations that will provide valuable lessons about how to prevent future incidents of this nature." green bay, wisconsin, john on our line for you understand penalties. welcome to the "washington journal." caller: yes, good morning. i'm glad that they're going to hold the feet to the fire of all the regulators finally, along with just making the companies be held responsible and to get this done, but i wish the president -- i wsh we had a great conservative president, which we haven't had since 1963 when we had john f. kennedy, and he created the people's money, certificates, and l.b.j. on the plane back home after the central bankers did what they did -- host: john, what does this have to do with the oil spill? caller: i want regulation. i want everything regulated the same way. i wish he had the same outrage against the central bankers of europe. host: let's move on to davis, california. melanie on our line for democrats. good morning, melanie. caller: hi, good morning. host: what did you think about what the president had to
