, big young right hander throwing strikes. >> johnny: for ray knight, i'm johnny holiday.riday night right here on masn.   úaltim below .500. we bring in john kruk. with the red sox, what went so wrong? >> their fulmer. they struggled. that will happen. they have a smoltz was locating his fastball. and the rain comes. he has to come out after 4 innings. sometimes relievers are not prepared to pitch in the 5th inning. i am not making excuses. they pitched poorly. i think josh beckett realized they could swing the bat. >> they had a comeback of 3 own today. they bounced back today. in a division of a tight race, though, is this more than one game losing something like that? >> not really. you understand these things happen. it's how you bounce back and react to it. weak-minded teams will let it bother you and lose 5 in a row. the boston red sox have been there and done that. a couple of years ago they had a big comeback win against the baltimore orioles that got their manager fired. they know about coming back on teams. they know teams can comeback on them. >>

johnny and ray get you going. this is for masn.com. for all the latest news on the nats, this is a presentation of nans. stay tuned. nats extra coming up right now and from the booth. so long for just a while. >> rob: >> johnny one year ago, the nationals knocked off the marlins. one year ago today. since that time, the marlins have won nine consecutive games against the marlins welcome and happy to have you along with us. you kind of get lost for words, don't you, ray? >> ray: johnny, you know, a lot of it is about attitude. daggumit, you have to go out and expect to win games. it's obvious the marlins expect to beat us. every game, we jump out to a lead and it just does not hold up. zimmerman threw well. it almost gets nauseated saying starting pitching did well. we hung in there but they end up scoring a run every time we get in that crucial situation late in the 7th, 8th, 9th inning, somebody comes through. 20 come-from-behind wins. 7 of those against the washington ball club. i don't know how to explain it. we saw adam in the pre

probably will in the future because johnny holiday comes -- johnny holiday -- johnny damon -- johnnygood but not that good -- johnny damon comes off the books this season. johnny holiday roaming center field, that's intriguing. >> rob: before and after the game, not during the game. but, i mean, the thing is that's the way the a's have to conduct business out on the west coast. they don't have an open checkbook like a lot of other ball clubs, i've talked to rick force, the harden deal, the nick swisher deal, a lot of these deals are to keep rebuilding and restocking, refueling their minor league system and their big league club. >> bob: fastball, willingham can't get it and nick johnson is out as well.   a strike-'em-out throw-'em-out  double play, willingham not close to hitting the ball and nick johnson well late when that ball got there.   . >> rob: well, right there you're hoping josh willingham can make contact, that's why you put the runner in motion to stay away from 2 double play. jim riggleman, we have

the fans come down, ray night and myself. >> bob: johnny holiday roaming center field. >> rob: johnnyiday roaming and all the guys i played with, the coaching staff, yi von white as a roving instructor, we got bob poon, we could get a bunch of people to play against the bloggers. >> bob: i could just see some nice lady going to come up and say to me "why did rob ball brush me back?" >> rob: because i could, lady. blog about that. i'm kidding. >> bob: a good breaking ball. >> rob: great breaking ball right there. >> bob: tony gwynn and everett cabrera are next for the padres here in the fifth. rob dibble's nats fantasy camp. come if you dare. >> rob: no. >> bob: see, there you go. >> rob: you're profiling me. you just told me you would brush back a lady. >> rob: i would not. just my mother. she is a heck of a right-handed hitter. >> bob: she would charge the mound and take care of you. >> rob: oh geez, my mom? i'm not afraid of too much but when my mom raised her voice i'm out of there. >> bob: robert? >> rob: robert. >> bob: san diego's record 37- 59, the nats 28-67. they are 24 1/2 b

johnny holiday and ray night.try to get back on the winning track against the san diego padres. garrett mock will get the ball, had a pretty tough time against the chicago cubs his last start. >> ray: had a tough time getting his fastball over, but he has just dominated aaa, fastball 9 # and one of those yacing curve balls or yellow hammers, he needs to get some confidence because i believe he can pitch here. >> johnny: they did touch him, but 3.1 innings pitched that particular night. there you see his numbers as a starter, ray, 0-4. but he likes starting, that's where he thinks he is best. >> ray: johnny, actually that's his whole start from -- that is his career starting. i was thinking that would include this year. he has got three getting followly pitches and has to settle in. everything about this league is you have to come up here and believe you belong. he knows that he is better than aaa, you know. a lot of times you say "he is a four a type pitcher," he needs some time to get comfortable. >> and what doe

-- chef johnny mow playing for us.ou can see him in virginia. drove three hours, all this way for us. >> he may be something special, allison. >> you can grab a little spoon and grab an appetizer version or maybe get the grande version here. >> thanks so much, chef.

we'll get you going at 6:30 johnny and ray.n the nats. this has been a presentation to masn. stay tuned nats extra coming up right now. from the booth so long until pittsburgh. >> one of the bright spots ryan zimmerman got a pretty good muscle there why not? against milwaukee back in the fourth inning the nationals fall though because they needed more than just zimmerman's homerun. they lose the fourth game of the series. they split the series with the brewers 7-3 the final. first time milwaukee has won back to back games in a month. >> wow, they are not playing well either. they are in contention. >> they are. they have got a good offense. they are going to score runs. they score runs in bunches. their pitching staff not real good. they are in a division they have a chance if they can put together a streak. they looked really down the first two games but they were able to come big base hits council only 46 lifetime home runs. it is a homerun today. >> defining home? i would think probably the seventh inning the score was tied

, johnny sack? remember him from "the sopranos"? the real-life vincent here now. oh, relax. for god's sake, it's summer, relax. we're just having fun here. and here to have fun with us, gary, lee, rob. you notice all our regular panel has just disappeared this week. curious. anyway, vincent, johnny sack, keep your friends close, your enemies closer, huh? >> always. that's the way to do it. the c.b.o. goes in there for five minutes or an hour and probably comes out and says, ok! neil: the plan is going to save trillions? >> end of story. neil: no matter what he does now, it doesn't look good. if he comes back and revises his numbers, and then all the sudden it appears that his plan does save money, people are going to hearken back to that chat now. >> it's toast. he's tainted. neil: you know a little bit about these things, or you play a role you know a little bit. >> thank you, played a role. thank you. i appreciate that. neil: one thing i love about vincent is the best stare in tv. all right, so yo

johnny, ray? >> debbi taylor, thank you very much. >> there you see jordan's numbers. 29 two third innings. 2.12 e.r.a. 23 hits. only walked seven. 28 strikeouts. one thing about jordan he has given up one home run his last five starts. >> he doesn't throw too many balls up. when he does he has got so much juice on it people can't get their hands up on the baseball. i suspect when he gives a home run up it will be more a slider that doesn't break. that may happen here as he adjusts to the air in coors field much the breaking ball does tend not to have flight to bite just a little shorter. not as much depth. jordan has a get slider. and that may be his biggest adjustment tonight. >> do you see any competitive difference the juices flowing between a craig stammen and jordan zimmerman. >> they are different people but i think they have the same mind sext they are warriors thinking they have a chance to win. they believe, johnny, in themselves. i don't think they have to have a lot of coddling. i thin

for ray knight, johnny holliday, good night!e mets are collapsing as of late, just like they did at the end of the two previous seasons, although we're in the middle of this one. adam ruben, mets beat writer for the "new york daily news," joins us now break down what's happening in new york. adam, theningry-riddled mets have lost four straight, not even scoring a run in the last 22 innings. how deep do their woes run? >> i mean, it is very bad right now. i guess the positive thing is they'll spare their fans grief at the end of the year, but as you mentioned, they haven't scored since saturday when fernando nieve drove in a run. it's not confident it's going to get much better tonight withr oliver perez returning from a two-month absence on the mound with a 9.97 e.r.a. >> it seems the mets are battered physically but also mentally after yesterday's loss to the dodgers. david wright said, "i just think we stink right now." he went on to say, "we're not playing very good baseball. i don't think anybody's having very much fun right

. >> and this is johnny's stage, which is crazy. >> jimmy: this is -- yeah, johnny carson did the firstis. you did johnny carson. >> i did -- no, the show. [ laughter ] you know, no one has ever said -- no one's ever said that ever. >> jimmy: not once. >> no one, ever. >> jimmy: nope. >> but i would do the show. i did it like -- not that i know exactly, 13 times from burbank when he was there. yeah, and i was just a young lad. they wouldn't put me on to do stand-up because they thought my act, they said, was like, "a stone skipping on water. it didn't quite dig in." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is that right? >> i just said, "thank you master." and what's funny is my manager, from back in those days, is here. my manager, who's now the chairman of paramount, brad grey, was my manager. he was 21 and i was 22. so, i've gone to a dirtier place as soon as i sat down and name-dropped as fast as i possibly could. [ laughter ] and the roots are here. and they're amazing. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you can't keep getting applause from the roots. >> you're right. >> jimmy: you can't keep doing t

but he did what he could to avoid his big personality because johnny carson was sort of reserved. and now this is from a carson family member, he told the carson family members, that ed got on hinerves. >> i can see that getting taken out of context though. one day something happened and they worked together a long ti and he could be saying, he got on my nerves today. >> but carson had a reputation for not being close to other people. he was very professional but not very close to other people so i could believe it. >> oh, man. >> let's talk about it over bourbon peaches. >> i'd love to. >> when we come back. we'll be back in a moment. r yor bad cholesterol but your good cholesterol and triglycerides are still out of line? then you may not be seeing the whole picture. ask your doctor about trilipix. if you're at high risk of heart disease and taking a statin tlower bad cholesterol, along with diet, adding trilipix can lower fatty triglycerides and raise good clesterol to help impre all three cholesterol numbers. trilipix has not been shown to prevent heart attacks or stroke more t

that's a pretty good season right there for ryan. >> it's a good year for him, johnny, but he was sit hitting so well, he was having a career year. those numbers you see projected are similar to the numbers he had his two best years. he hit 20 home runs his first year with 47 doubles and 110 rbis, and then hit 24 home runs the next year, so he's just in that deal where his bubble gum card is, and he got off to a great start. still going to put up big numbers, but these are superstar is type numbers. >> debbie taylor has a member of the all-star team with her, ryan zimmerman. deb? i haven't thank you very much. and yes, i am joined by all star ryan zimmerman. do you like the sound of that, ryan? >> i guess. it's an honor, obviously, and it's everyone's dream to kind of get to that level varvelledly, and of course team stuff is way more important, but it's nice and keep working hard, and hopefully there will be many more. >> what are you looking forward to the most about going to st. louis? >> get a chance to be around some pretty impressive players. obviously a lot of activities there,

[ light laughter ] and i'm like -- back then i was like gomer pyle. you know, i was like, "i'm bumped? what does that mean i'm bumped?" [ laughter ] because i thought that, like, they did the show like -- everybody chatted like a party for three, four hours and they cut to the nicest 90 minutes. i didn't realize they do it 90 minutes, you know. and if the other guy goes long, you're not on. like a week later, "carson" was gone. he, like, retired. i didn't get to be on "carson." so, that actor who ate up all my time.

from it's just the same thing over and over again, johnny. i did see riggleman do some things differently. he started johnson on a hit and run and dunn a line drive to left. i liked that. we started runners on first and second. strike them out or throw them out. i didn't necessarily like that. but in the 1st inning it's difficult to start runners, because you get a line drive and end up with a triple play. that just shows you jim is trying to get something started. sometimes when your offense isn't doing anything, you become very creative. he was with tony la russa. there is nobody more creative than tony at starting runners, doing those type things. >> down to debbi taylor down to the field. she has a very special guest. he started yesterday, and debbie with garrett mock. >> reporter: and garrett did start yet. garrett, not particularly the kind of outing you wanted but you move forward and look ahead to facing the padres this weekend. >> yeah. i mean it's one of those things where i felt great early in the game, many and you know, everybody

. >> host: so johnny mitchell wouldn't feel good about it? >> guest: johnny mitchell wouldn't feel good about that project. and now i should add that after much negotiation of protest with environmental organizations, the owners of the branch have said we will devote. we're going to build 10% of the range would devote the other 90% to conservation easements and park land and open space and preserve a lot of it but we still want to do this development and we are going to make a lot of money if it goes through and once the economy picks up so the controversy now is can we have that kind of leapfrog development displeasing a city in the wilderness but at a time when housing developments continue to exist in urban areas are fecund. can we have that kind of development and still be serious about climate change and lo wearing our commuting distances and eliminating the kind of small that set global warming or are we going to say the time has passed for that kind of development and unless you can somehow make is the rowan act on climate change here

i love johnny depp. he could be in a kool-aid commercial and i would love it and watch it. i just expected more from this movie. i don't know what it was. they used a lot of hand had much held cameras. maybe i was sitting a little close to the screen. it was just annoying andujaring and blair witchish. i only gave it three and a half kernels. >> i had the opposite experience. i loved it. i kind of wanted to give it four and a half. it's a crime movie so there's a lot of fighting scenes. i hear what you're talking about some of the hand-held stuff. this is one of the action scenes where johnny depp is almost find out and it's in this scene he ends up losing a lot of the guys he's been going through this whole movie with. it would have the best actors, christian bail and him, bail plays an agent whose job it is to find john dillinger. listen to one of the exchanges when he captures him within time in the movie. >> you act like a confident man. you have a few qualities probably pretty good from a distance, especially when you get out numbered but up close toe to toe when someb

he was almost unhittable. >> he was, johnny. this is the best i've ever seen him, and i've seen him pretty good. he was sinking that fastball and keeping it there. ground ball after ground ball. 14 of them tonight. morgan, first at bat, hit ground ball, and, as we see, fly ball to center feed there. but he just had the breaking ball going. he had so many good pitches that he made in and out. he was able to get ground balls to second, to short, to third, 15 in a row. another ground ball there as he jams everybody. has he has a good slider, but he lives to use that fastball, 70% fastballs. there is one, he runs in and gets jammed on. nice play there. and he was just on all night long. we did could not a lot with him. he wad opportunities to, and when we did, we justify couldn't cash in. >> you see there the first five hit next nationals line-up all had base hits on him tonight, but they couldn't get a run across in this 1-0 shutout. he came in the ball game with an era, his lowest in five seasons in the big leagues. that will go d
