rizzo, and certainly the lerners, and what a great day it is. >> the entire lerner family, it's a majorre putting out the money, and now we await the arrivele of stephen strasberg. >> yes, sir. they've stamped it down now. >> well, we have baseball coming up tonight, the rockies and the nats in the first of a free-game series. we'll come back to take a look at the line-ups for both ball clubs when we return at nationals park. coach edwards! the coors light silver ticket promotion is back. how do you play? you play to win. right, so you start with some cold coors light, - you play to win the game. - then you? yes, yes, agreed.

the lerner family is paying me groom money and taking care of my family. i can get out of bed, i should be able to play. >> rob: i love it. >> bob: he is a tough guy. here's villanueves. >> rob: something happen to josh? i'm ready. >> bob: oh, what a lovely day. lead off man aboard. in five innings, the nat have had their first batter either on base or rounding the bases four times. so they put constant pressure on the milwaukee pitching staff today. here's mike morse. 1 for 2. mom's got the video ready. >> rob: mike will be thrilled at thanksgiving when we whip out the video tape. [ laughter ] [ crowd clapping ] >> bob: he has three major league home runs. glowow wish we could do more baby pictures. >> bob: oh, you do? >> rob: yeah, i kind of dig that. you have to do some on the coaches, too. see what it will is after looked like as a baby. less after. [ laughter ] >> bob: i don't know but i'm sure he was challenging bigger guys to fight. [ laughter ] it will be awhile before we forget the video of him charging dibble. >> rob: but it was so much fun becau

be competitive right now but his long-term goals are to win championships and i think kasten, the lerner family, they are all going in the right direction. >> everybody in the organization wanted to him to get the job. we're going to cover the bases, with sean burnett, one of mike rizzo's acquisitions, 26 years of age from dunedin florida, a # 1/2 e.r.a., a win, and so far anchoring the left side of that bullpen. high cholesterol. you've taken steps to try and lower both your numbers. but how close are you to your goals? there may be more you can do. only caduet combines two proven medicines... in a single pill to significantly lower... high blood pressure and high cholesterol. in a clinical study of patients... with slightly elevated blood pressure and cholesterol, caduet helped 48% reach both goals in just 4 weeks. caduet is one of many treatment options, in addition to diet and exercise... that you can discuss with your doctor. caduet is not for everyone. it's not for people with liver problems... and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. to check for liver problems,

you're talking about ted lerner, not spending $15 million on this young man but investing because --every phanos he is going to deliver and will against dividend. that's what we're looking for. there are three ways to attract spectators -- win. not everybody can win. number two, have a superstar and hopefully we have that now. and the giveaways. you know, the moms and dads have to come because the kids are bugging the heck out of them. i want that! so it looks like the future with strasburg could be -- he is the superstar. he is going to mean winning and winning plus all these give away. it will be a whole new ball game. >> debbi: what's it like for you to come to the ballpark and just feeled renewed enthusiasm in the team? >> there's so much more excitement and enthusiasm now. before, it was kind of a norm. well, we're doing the best we can and we win a few and lose a few. but this is like getting a shot in the arm. this is somebody who -- the experts are saying that this stephen is like the best prospect ever. and now everybody is all excited about it and i think when he does appea

lerner said to me just the other day, that we're all family now.brace that and i thank you very much. >>> i didn't know that they would do it yet but i always felt i was the choice. you know, i have a confidence level in myself and i felt i was well prepared for the job. one thing i kept drawing on is the learners are good business people and i knew they were going to pick the right guy for the job. and with that in my mind i always thought it was going to be me. >> interesting comment that mike said. he didn't know that they knew it but he knew it. we kind of followed that. we hoped this would be the announcement. look at some of the guys, he has made some good moves to solidify this ball club. >> trades aren't easy to make, not trade for good young ball parks, speed pitchers and outfielders that can shore up your defense. another thing, strasburg got signed, another guy that was added to this ball club that has been an integral part of the growth has been mcdougall in that bullpen. and i also think that you have to point to the people that are go

not want to come down to the urban league computer center, but if we could connect that significant lerner with that child of some aspiration, then we could create an on-line entering. could that accelerate the pace of educational attainment for that young person? we got mixed results. my hope is that maybe this broadband plan the president already with roots and community organizers will think of a teach for america, a group of young people trained or entrepreneurs looking to get back into public service that will go door-to- door working with families. think of this as a technology tupperware party. think of this as an opportunity to reach out at the grass roots and show a person how their life can be better. they can get connected, they can communicate with relatives, they can get remote diagnostics from a health care clinic. that is the grass roots movement i would love to have been part of that 100 cities where we test out this technology of volunteers working in every community. >> one of the other things i would encourage you to consider is the game changing nature of actually deplo

down the stretch and now you have a full-time gm and senior vp in mike rizzo, stan kasten and the lerners still have to go out and execute. >> reporter: i think it was cool that the scout caught his 95 miles per hour change-up on the gun. >> that was awesome. >> tomorrow's program will be a one-hour program from 2 to 3, we're going to carry it live here on masn, i'll be hosting down near third base, there will be a stage set up, fireworks, strasburg is going to be introduced to the crowd, there's going to be a little theater involved in this whole thing tomorrow. tickets available starting at noon. i think it's going to be quite an afternoon so come on down, hang out with us, go have dinner and come back for the ball game. >> johnny: bob, thank you very much. bob carpenter and rob dibble upstairs, don't miss it, it will be an experience i think forever nationals fan. if you can't be here at least be watching here on masn at 2:00 tomorrow. >> ray: we're coming, aren't we're? we going to get out here early. i'm as excited about it as everybody else is. johnny i know i want to get on the lin
