that's quite an at-bat by alex rios. >> rob: 3-2 fastball away. rios goes with it. good peet piece of hitting by him. he's trying to stay alive. nice job sliding to cut that ball off. get that back in as quickly as possible. >> bob: when you couple this together with the bottom of the seventh, this has been a rough 20-25 minutes. nats had the bases loaded one out after second and third, nobody out. now the blue jays a similar situation here in the top of the eighth. >> rob: you can't give good teams extra chances. >> bob: front door breaking ball up and over to lyle overbay. he's 0-1 with a pair of walks.   >> rob: hitting against left-handed pitchers this year. all the power against right- handers. seven home runs against righties. one against left-handers. >> bob: that will be foul. strike two. right-handed hitting rod barajas on deck. that's why hanrahan is ready. lefty-lefty matchup here as the nats try to get a big second out.  >> bob: 2-2. >> rob: barajas i against le

lind andry owes and rios. >> that's just a 3-1 meat fastball. we talked about mastering the strike zone. 53 strikes, 53 balls, 50/50 last time out for martis. that's not good enough to pitch at this level. you have to work ahead, and once you get ahead, even if you're a change-up type guy, you have to establish whether it's an 80-mile an hour or 90- mile an hour fastball, you have to establish the strike zone ahead of time with that fastball. >> he's only retired one-hitter of the first seven. rod b -- rod barajas the catcher. >> never broke 85 miles an hour, but he had pinpoint command of the fastball, could hit it anywhere in the strike zone, anywhere on the out side edges to set up the change-up. he didn't throw so hard that when there was a guy on second, he didn't even have a catcher put down a sign. he just had the catcher put location. so it's pitching that's not being afraid to throw the fastball over the plate. >> that's trouble. dunn will get there. four in the first for toronto, and the nats have a long road back against a rookie pitc

alex rios will be next.le overbay not to be lost in all of what's going on here the efficiency with which jordan zimmermann is getting some of his outs. some of them have been happening quickly, but he has thrown over 60 pitches now with one out in the fourth inning f he can get a couple of quick innings here, he could pitch deep into this friday night. he continues to get ahead of everybody. 13 first-pitch strikes. >> rob: now 15. >> bob: 13 hitters. 15 in a row now. >> rob: 15 in a row. >> bob: this is maddux-like. >> rob: that will help you. >> bob: i think the best i've ever seen, if i remember over the last bunch of games i've seen, one night in florida pitching for the braves, greg maddux had 21-23 first hitters first-pitch strikes. alex riosfouled out to herndez first time. zimmermann goes right after him. gets a pop-up. guzman is there. and two outs here in the fourth. here comes ducky medwik. >> rob: settle. settle. >> aflac. >> bob: three center fielders had over 100 rbi's each of their first two s

and then alex rios is next., eight-game streak. >> rob: this kid, rios, he reminds me a lot of justin maxwell, tall, thin, very good outfielder. >> bob: they. they list him at 6'52"15. >> rob: a couple of years ago, this kid was crushing the ball. they gave him a long-term extension. >> bob: 14 homeruns, -- 24 homeruns, 84 rbis in that season. he played 1161 games. and .291 with 71 rbis last year. ynoble, port rico. if you know how to pronounce it, it's there. hey, it's up to me to fill in the blanks. >> rob: that's why i throw those out there. i didn't know what he hit that year. >> bob: i'm still trying to find. >> rob: what? >> vernon wells? >> bob: vernon wells. >> rob: i did look that up last night, the calgary stampeders. >> bob: i love it when calgary played saskatchewan, stampede against the rough riders. >> rob:

rios singles in a run. overbay single up the middle. rios and lind score, and suddenly down by 4. second inning rolls around, marco scutaro, deep left field scoring marco scutaro. way up home run. six runs on the board is all they need. >> terrific day, three for five the homer, drives in five of the jay's nine runs. we'll take a break and come back and continue more of our nats extra post game brought to you by verizon. we'll come back with more right after these important messages. don't go away. gecko: uh, you wanted to see me sir? boss: come on in, i had some other things you can tell people about geico - great claims service and a 97% customer satisfaction rate. show people really trust us. gecko: yeah right, that makes sense. boss: trust is key when talking about geico. you gotta feel it. why don't you and i practice that with a little exercise where i fall backwards and you catch me. gecko: uh no sir, honestly... uh...i don't think...uh... boss: no, no. we can do this. gecko: oh dear. vo: geico. fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. >>> he was abl

serious jamming. >> bob: bases empty, two outs, alex rios.e double down the right-field line to set the blue jays up in the eighth before joel hanrahan shut the door on him. there's a strike on the corner. a double came against villone villone. orioles won their game at philadelphia tonight 7-2. yankees won in florida 5-1. and the mets held on to beat tampa bay at citi field 50-3. mets will be only two games back of philadelphia. and atlanta hammered the red sox 8-2 at fenway tonight against dykes. 3-1. -- dies kay. >> rob: kawakama and d daisuke matsuzaka matched up tonight? >> bob: it was. >> rob: wow, moodia must have been going bonkers. >> bob: 3-1 on rios. beimel walks him with two outs. >> rob: well, he got ahead of him. he got a little too fine on that outer edge. a lefty on deck. not the worst walk in the world. >> bob: that lefty is lyle overbay. >> rob: this is a very good contact hitter, very take russ -- dangerous guy. >> bob: 22 homers, 92 rbi's first gleer toronto looked like he was headed for stardom and then a right hand injur

alex rios now with the lead run at second base. alex rios 0-for-3 tonight. 1-for-7 in the series.put four hit together to tie the game here in the 8th. first pitch slider for a strike. 2-1. >> rob: the only conversations i had today were about velocity versus pitching and not just how hard you throw but about the movement, the location. there is billy koch threw 100 and threw it straight and he was very hittable at times. you have to be able to locate corners, pick your spots. there you see a great slider but, still, 95 up in the zone, these guys can hit that. and as you said, scott rolen is one of the hot he is hitters in baseball right now. >> bob: 2-2. >> rob: so is this guy. >> bob: no swing chris c. b. bucknor. that's big because now the count goes to 3-2 and the runners will be moving. >> rob: i think he got him. pretty much broke the plane to me. there you see him. a little side angle. >> bob: we have to do it again. got him that time. the blue jays tied the game. two runs and four hits. since 1873, coors banquet has been brewed in one place... and one place only: golden, c

rios will have a chance to possibly put this game out of reach for toronto. it's all about the jump that you get off the pitcher and it's about being heads up and into every pitch type player. situational baseball. >> it's so rare to have two players and the entire career spent with one team, and each had chances to go elsewhere. bijio was a catcher and then went to second base. >> he also played center field. >> played center field, 3,060 hits. >> he was here two years ago with the astros over at rfk the week before he announced he was retiring. >> one ball and two strikes to alex rios. got him looking on a front door breaking ball. kip wells gets his second strikeout of the inning. the blue jays strand two. they've left six. breaking ball backed up just a little bit, as bob said, the front door breaking ball. on sundays at the ballpark, god bless america today doing the honors, sullivan of the u.s. navy cruisers.  ♪  - oh, it's on, all right. - it's on. - it is totally on. jimmy, it's on. it's on. oh, yeah, it's on. pilot: affirmative,

i mean, alex rios is a good right fielder with a good arm. it's hard to anticipate he's going to throw a ball to deflect off the glove of the cutoff man. >> rob: willie harris gets a pitch he likes. puts tonight right side of the infield pass a really good fielding lyle overbay. then, alex rios has trouble finding the handle. comes up. quickly throws it by his cutoff guy. you saw josh though. you see him running properly as bob told you many times run hard until that coach stops you. >> i wonder if cito gaston is thinking about an intentional walk here. >> rob: to bring the pitcher up. i -- >> bob: they're going to do it. in this league, you do that. so, jordan zimmermann will have a chance for his first major league rbi with the bases loaded, one out. cito gaston has in postseason play managed in a number of national league ballparks because when he was in his heyday, first time around with the blue jays, they dom nailted the american league east winning divisions in '85, '89, '91, '93. their win on the jerry walker walkoff homer the last ti

alex rios is waiting.nats will get a couple of base runners, a walk and sangle, leave two, no -- a single, leave two, no score. ÷pñ)y@@p >> debbi: scoreless as we m to the top of the second inning. craig stammen told me last night that the young the starters are feeding off each other. they're good friends and a tight knit group. here is more from manny acta on that topic. >> they play together at some point. a couple of those guys are together before. they motivate each other and feed off each other and it's good. they don't have any type of competition going on, but they're trying to outdo each other, followup in each other's step every feist days. >> debbi: for jordan zimmermann, he told me he needs to continue to pound the zone. he has a really good strikeout to walk ratio. he has nearly four strikeouts to each walk. >> bob: that is correct, debbi. a strikeout in the first inning gave him 61. only 16 walks in 58 innings this year. as rob has pointed out on numerous occasions, part of his problem,

. >> bob: alex rios. grounded out to zimmerman tonight. he is 1-for-5 with a walk in the first two games of this series. tampa bay just beat the mets 3- 1 in new york. double play ball. gonzalez, guzman and well done. manny acta earlier this inning talked about defense and the pitching. there you have it. aflac! you really need it these 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! are you insured? do you know when your beer is perfectly cold? or do you risk drinking a warm one? if you have the new coors light cold-activated can, you're covered. because now every can turns blue when your beer... is as cold as the rockies. it's cold insurance, only from coors light. cold beer: that's our policy. frost-brewed coors light. the world's most refreshing beer. . >> bob: that little la enjo

now, just this month the brazilian federal court in rio ordered seine -- sean returned to mr. goldman. but amazingly a brazilian political party filed a motion with the brazilian supreme court asserting that brazil's exsession to the hague convention was unconstitutional. i'm pleased that the obama administration has filed a motion with the brazilian supreme court seeking to have this frivolous motion dismissed. but we should do more. this outrageous delaying tactic brought by an entity with no genuine standing in the case has only underscored the need for the united states and other nations to examine potential changes to the convention. necessary in order to prevent these kinds of cases from dragging on for years. the hague convention on partial -- on parental child abduction should not be a justification for delay. i ask my colleagues to support my amendment so that we can receive in a timely fashion advice and recommendations from secretary clinton on measures that may be taken to help speed the resolution of cases like that of david and sean goldman. and i yield back the

alex rios, a first-round pick for the blue jays, 19th pick overall taken in 1999 i since the fireworks didn't go off last night, do they go tonight? >> bob: i don't think so. that's one time where ryan zimmerman had to play for the hop. two outs. >> bob: how about that, only four earned rungiven up by the starters over the last five games. steve mccatty, you have done well, sir, but so have your young kids. ultimately, it's their responsibility. here is kevin millar hitting .246. kevin did appear in the ball fame last night, 8th inning as a pinch hit and flied out with the bases loaded. the nats made big pitch after big pitch last nightpreventing toronto from winning in regulation and can you do the same thing for the blue jays' bullpen until the 112th inning. that was some battle last night. 2-1, taking four hours to play 11. 14 pitch first that game last night. 14 pitchers in that game last night. good - looking fastball. detwiler just missingwith that one. kevin millar, in his 12th year, .277 career hitter. >> rob: great guy to have on your ball club. >> bob: just ask the marlins, r

rios 0-for-2, grounded to third on a double play ball to second. 2-0. >> rob: come on, ross. you have to dig deep here. this is the longest he has been in a ballgame this year. chance to get his first victory. >> bob: since the 5th of june, the nats pitching as well as anybody in baseball. >> rob: you have to make sure that never comes up on the screen again. oh, man! it's just like -- you might as well blow some black cats on the field, a few ladders [ laughter ]. >> rob: geez. hey, this guy has not given up a homerun in the last three at- bats. bang! you want talk about something -- and it is very funny. steve mccatty is all business. >> bob: breaking ball that was outside. this is just like drag net, rob, just the facts. >> rob: sometimes too many facts make me nervous. close. kevin millar next here in the 7th inning. this toronto ball club is not done hacking. as rob mentioned, they lead the major league in hits. the nationals, in 17 innings, have held the blue jays to 12 hits. i know, there we go again. >> rob: that's all right. i think the jinx is about over. you tried

today, foreign ministers of the rio group will be attending a previously scheduled meeting of central american leaders to address the issue of honduras, and tomorrow the o.a.s. will hold an extraordinary general assembly. as we move forward, all parties have a responsibility to address the underlying problems that led to yesterday's events in a way that enhances democracy and it is rule of law in honduras. to that end, we will continue working with the o.a.s. and other partners to construct a process of dialogue and engagement that will promote to the restoration of democratic order, address the serious problems of political polarization in honduras, restore confidence in their institutions of government, and insure that honduras moves successfully towards its scheduled presidential elections in november of this year. at the o.a.s. general assembly earlier in the month, some of you were with me there, the united states insisted that the larger debate on cuba be framed within the o.a.s.'s commitment to democracy and human rights. along with key partners, we won a reaffirmation of the p

he went to brazil to collect what is today rio roosevelt. your listeners, i cannot express how much this vote was so he was. he did not have a conservation policy, he was the top naturalist. if one of the five top nnaturalists of his time. this was his chosen profession. he saw himself as the bridge between the laboratory scientist and the public imagination. he more to james damour cooper outdoors tales with a hard science of darwin. his role was to sell it to the american people. -- james fennel or coopimore ife today have a bird bath in their backyard, roosevelt was the rreason. he picked taft for this reason. when taft breaks on conservation, taft was finished in the mind of roosevelt. >> when he was asked whether he wanted to be president or supreme court justice, which he preferred? >> he preferred to be a supreme court justice than president. taft. >> his wife nellie wanted them to be president. >> add to the taft inaugural in 1909. there was a blizzard. it was one of the worst storms for an inaugural. roosevelt, in typical fashion, s

like i said danny jackson got traded over to us, jose rio came over from the athletics to the reds and so i was quite left blessed with a lot of the older guys that were like you're doing this, working too hard on that, even buddy bell was there, you know, dave econ exception i don't who played back with the big red machine. it's not the worst thing in the world to have veteran players around, but they also have to be giving. they gave a lot. a lot of information, i was a young kid, i peppered them with questions, you know, it doesn't help you if you're a young man and sitting next to, even some of the guys i played with, marquis grissom sitting down there, jim wriggleman, danny acta, you got to be pumping those guys for information because the more knowledge you have the more powerful a player you're going to be. a bit of angst, he walked the pitcher, that's what you have to do, you know you're better than walking johnny cueto who can't swing the stick and you come back and get a really good lead off guy with willie tavares. >> johnny: only the second walk that detwiler has given up.

rio is try to make it worth your saturday morning. i don't want you to wish to have signed up for the spa or the tennis court or the golf links. instead of coming here. if you feel that way 1130 just don't tell me about it if you don't mind. we will review as you know some of the significant decisions from the supreme court's 2008 and 2009 term, the term and that is almost complete. typically when we do this panel the term is over, but they have kept us in suspense. alice at the table with the chief justice last time and try to apply him with an extra glass of wine are two and say, come on, you can tell us about monday's decision here it is not that farra but i have to tell you, his lips were sealed so we will have to guess about the ricci case, the new haven firefighters case. we have to impanel this morning that i couldn't ask for better colleagues. we have a jann and crawford greenberger who is a chicago law school president and abc news legal correspondent, we have linda greenhouse, you know her byline for many years covering the

i guess tom browning and jose rios and dibble upstairs and stuff.e dollized was davis and larkin. i wanted to be a hitter. i mimicked them. i have eric davidson's pitch down pat. just loving baseball that. carried me this far. i want to keep it the same way. >> like most good athletes, played other sports in high school. >> writhe right. i also played basketball and football. it kept me busy and i played golf in the summer when i wasn't doing one of those. >> how did you wind up university of dayton? >> it's a college close to home and i watched their basketball games on tv and i was always a big fan. i never got recruited by a lot of big schools, so kind of fit into what i wanted, the type of school i wanted academically and worked out baseball wise also. >> last night as tradition would have it when you have your first major league victory, your buddy lannan from the blindside puts that baby right in your face. >> right. >> done he was coming? etalkeding about it like two weeks ago. he's like when you get yours first one, you're getting shaving cr

stage what our position is but basically in a kind of a sympathetic fashion moreover in that which rio sarkozy himself has a tendency to take a very strong positions and it isn't clear how far he is prepared to push the envelope on the subject but he seems among the europeans to be what might be loosely described as more tough-minded or rigid or assertive more selfish and the british and certainly more so than the germans or the russians. how that might affect the negotiating process is hard to judge but sarkozy certainly doesn't want to be a wallflower in the process. he wants france to play a role. he alluded to that recently in djibouti commemorating the opening -- i'm sorry, not in jeopardy, the gulf, commemorating the opening of a new french military base in the area. the germans and the russians clearly are not prepared to push the envelope very hard. i don't think they are prepared to commit themselves to very drastic sanctions the kind some would like. and their position from the outside probably will be supported by the chinese who are not a party to the process but who have a

as you go across that border through big bend and up until the far side which is near a lake and del rio sector. these areas are very vulnerable to penetration by any number of things. and a lot of times the border patrol, as well as illustrating the national park service has a huge chunk there, huge chunk over in other parts, that this border is not simple and that when people say, can't you just put a couple thousand agents there and control the border, well, no. it is an incredible challenge. during my time in congress i have had the opportunity to visit almost every border patrol sector on the north end south borders. 2,000 miles in the south. the challenges are diverse and the criminal elements seeking to exploit our open borders are inventive and have significant resources. drug smugglers are using helicopters, fast boats and something as simple as coyotes, forcing illegal aliens to carry 50-pound loads of drugs on their back. the challenge is endless and the mission is critical. in the years that the border patrol has been in the department of homeland security, their agency has d

collecting for the american museum of natural history and went to brast to collect and what is today rio roosevelt. i can't let your listeners explain how much this was who he was. roosevelt didn't have a conservation policy. he was the naturalist. he was the top naturalist, one of the four or five top naturalists of his era. and so this is what his profession, chosen profession was and he saw himself, t.r., as the bridge between the laboratory scientist and the public imagination. he morphed james felony more cooper -- fennimor cooper tales with the sense of darwin. his role was to sell it to the american people. he was a pro gent tore of the citizen builder movement. many people have a bird bath in their backyard or bird feeder. roosevelt was the promoter. taft fell into line as a conservation foot soldier and was one of the reasons he felt comfortable picking taft. taft had spent time in the philippines. when taft breaks on conservation with roosevelt, taft was finished. >> what i was getting at when he was asked about whether he wanted to be a president of the united states or a sue
