he will have sean burnett arriving today.afting in the 2003 draft. 18 stolen bases this season, five triples, tied for second in the major league. his birthday is either coming up tomorrow. >> ray: tomorrow, i believe. >> johnny: happy birthday to nyjer. he got himself an inning and a work did sean burnett in florida. >> johnny: 2-for-14 in this ballgame, losing 5-3 to florida. manny acta was asked about that. >> we had plenty of chances the right now, our situational hitting flatout sinks. it's killing us. we could have won both series here and in baltimore. we have not been able to do it. we got 02 in. we have to have a better plan. >> debbi: initial impression of sean burnett? >> he threw the ball well. threw the ball okay. he gave up the homerun to cody ross. we like what he have seen. but that's just 1 1/3 inning. >> debbi: jordan zimmerman, he has pitched well? >> this kid has pitched well for us. over the past two months, he has been lights out. we like the fact that this guy goes out there and does not walk that many

sean burnett's debut for the nats.was asked what his emotions were like. >> you know, i wish i knew the emotions. i was drafted by the pirates. that's all i know is them. aisle keep my emotions in check here. baseball is baseball no matter what jersey you are wearing. >> bob: sean told me that he throws strikes, keeps the ball on the ground and is very effective against left handers. >> bob: i would say so. they are patting .189 against him this year. e.r.a. very good, too. strikeout-walk ratio not that great but nowhere near giving up a hit per inning so he has been able topitch around that. on the double switch, ronnie belliard is batting 9th and playing second base. here we go to the bottom of the 7th. ross, baker and carroll. cody ross, 0-for-2, flyball to left, flyball to center. a little herky jerky feature to that delivery, rob. >> rob: i like it. we saw him when we played pittsburgh. he has excellent control and command. and he's going to go out there and throw some strikes, get some people out. nice change-up.

young lefty, sean burnett up. >> bob: nowhere near the spot in your line-up where you have to make thedouble switch. manny can choose to go with him now. >> rob: looks like they are doing it. >> bob: there may be another element, how do you deal with a ballpark like this because you play these guys nine times down here every year and if he is going to be with our ball club for a while, he is going to be pitching here from time to time. >> rob: you have to suck it up some days. >> bob: and i'm sure they are away of our bullpen graphic that we showed earlier and we talked about the series. manny may not be that eager to go to his extra guys. willie harris is there. if that's it for jordan zimmerman, he pitched well today. a couple of pitches he would hike to have back but all in all, pretty solid.   .  >> bob: hanley ramirez, two- run single third. i can't wait to hear what you have to say. >> rob: jordan zimmerman real good and a solid effort and you take away three hitters. by the way, it has started to rain now as we go to the top of the 7th. >> rob: then i will

-- knock on wood -- goes the hold way or gives the ball right to macdougal, he expected to see sean burnett pitch today. if not, get him in there friday. his last aexperience for the pirates was on sunday. there is nyjer and then sean in the background. >> rob: pretty sweet ride out there. these guys in pittsburgh have a lot of money? >> bob: i'm sure mike wallace took care of that or rob mcdonned. >> rob: i know in my days, i was lucky to have some guy take me to the ballpark. >> bob: i can see dibble coming to the ballpark in a rickshaw. there is jeremy hermida. wait until that guy straps on and gets on. the nats have a team total of .227 and will -- 227 and willie harris has 20 of those. there may be a day or two where willie harris will bat second behind nyjer morgan. how fun will that be? nick johnson and ryan zimmerman would be licking their chops. >> rob: wisconsin cheese at the knees. this guy tried to exorcise some demons. >> reporter: deep short. guzman gets hinged it, can he get enough on the throw? no. and jeremy hermida gets an infield hit. >> rob: he gets an infield hit. befor

and sean burnett will be wearing number 17. good to see him in the dugout.or today, willie harris and cristian guzman behind him. guzman, 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 jo

we hope he does well, but now you have sean burnett coming in here. you hope sean burnett will have the same success he had with the pirates and same thing with nyjer morgan. i'm talking to curt schilling about the whole lou gehrig and anniversary and a. l. s. and they're going to read his speech on the 4thof july. on a professional note, was asked about david ortiz and his struggles and stuff. he said quite frankly i don't care. if a guy is struggling, i want to face that guy. i'm going to bury that guy. i might be friends with him off the field, but on the field, no sympathy. i'll worry about getting the other tough outs in the lineup. that's the way you have to approach your job. that guy is standing 60'6" trying to put you out of a job or out of bigs every time you come to the park -- out of business every time you come to the park. it's not personal. it's just business. i read an article when i was in high school by luke from "sports illustrated" talking about -- he put it in simple terms that. guy is take food off of my table. >> bob: one ball,

bottom of the 8th, bonifacio, gload, probably a one-batter appearance by sean burnett. when you look at the percentages, marlins are better off with bonifacio batting right handed. he batted 100 points better from this side of the plate. 1 ball, 2 strikes. that's a high strike on the inner half. chopper. guzman, trouble. out on a close play. 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 dail

here's felipe lopez against sean burnett. infield in. craig counsell. the brewers do have another infielder, but he is not having a good year by the name of bill hall. who is right hand and has pop. no move toward a batting helmet or a bat for him. maybe this is why craig counsell stays in the game. well, they used the term gamer to describe guys like craig counsell. but on a world championship team he revered around the major league, he is one of the hardest workers out there. you talk about making the most out of your skills. 13 years in the big league? >> bob: yes, sir. >> rob: that is a fantastic creek career.    lefty lefty match up. counsell one for three with a couple of homers at third base mcgee, first base lopez. the brewers looking for a seventh inning knock out punch. they are trying to make a winner out of yovani gallardo, who struck out 11 in seven innings and gave the nationals three runs on just five hits. ball two. ken macha also knows that craig counsell has a 12 game hitting stri

top of the ninth, sean burnett. whoops. the national lewis for the 62nd time, 6-2, to the cubs. go to florida, the phillies and the marlins. in the sixth, he on lows. his 23rd home run of the season. that is 200, runs in 658 gam. the fastest player ever to 200. for-0. golf in scotland and the british open. there was a 64 posted by the leader. tiger woods could not break par. i will show you. tiger really did not struggle all the way around the course. he had three birdies and 11 pars. burning th edges for four bogeys. seven shots off of the pace. this is the one that got me. on the 18th -- look at him. he is already walking. this is for the blistering 64, and he finds the hole, but this story today was what said. he went out on the course where he has had so much success in the past and had a brilliant 65. >> it does give me an advantage over just about everybody else. i think i probably played it as much as anybody as far as the golf championship is concerned. >> you have to like watson, but do not count tiger out. je3remremy jarmon, a 6'3" 280 pounder, the skins get a first fo

nas are basicall a man short tonight without hanrahan until sean burnett gets here tomorrow.your pitchers pitch deep into games, that really doesn't matter that much. bonifacio, he's capable of bunting. if he bunts, does that take the bat out of the hands of hanley ramirez? i don't know if the nats would walk ramirez up by four. he showed bunt. pulled it back on what appeared to be a good pitch to bunt. hanley ramirez is 0-2 tonight. bonifacio with a base hit and a fly ball to left. >> rob: longest outing was against the yankees 6 1/3 innings. >> bob: and a pitch up hit well suzukis back. i think coghlan would have had a chancetotag had he gone back to first base quicker. hy do move one runner up.sti% bonifacio trying to move the runners along in a you're down hits a fly ball deep center he little guy like that is not going to hit a ball out of center field here in florida, so it only moved up one runner is still in order. >> bob: yeah, nats happy to >> rob: absolutely.base there.   >> bob: hanley ramirez has hit into only two double plays this year,

here is codey ross who homered off sean burnett last time up to tie the game notice 7th. if the nationals get swept in this series, they'll fly home tonight knowing they had a lead in every game down here. there is an insurance run. >> rob: that hurt. >> bob: both of those runs charged to juliantavarez who is in a position to be the losing pitcher here today. in fact, it would be villone, beimel and tferz, the three veteran relievers who would be the throw losing pitchers -- the three losing pitchers. familiar story here in florida. first pitch swinging, john baker. gonzalez out. waves everybody off. and the marlins pick up two crippling runs. at least from the nationals stand point. into the 9th inning, it's 5-3 florida. nted a laptop with... ...speed, a big hard drive and a good gaming computer... ...for under $1500. we told them you find it, you keep it. - let's check these out. - this is nice. - let's go see the macs. - these are way more money, dude. it's a little too small. maybe we'd rather go with pc. - let's try that for him. - this is good for games too, right?

sean burnett is now up. bergmann in against the lefty, cabrera, and then another one, adrian gonzalez, coming up. oh boy, the nationals now have 94 errors and this is their 96th game of the year. that's a good punt. better hurry. got him. very close play. and well-played by josh bard on the sacrifice with gonzalez covering. i love guys who can sacrifice bunt, rob, but, at the same time, challenge for a base hit. >> rob: you saw the form, very nice, gets down with the ball, brings the bat down to the ball, doesn't turn the bat. >> bob: and i think -- >> rob: at his knees. >> bob: i think we saw something there. if josh bard taps the glove he doesn't get the runner at first. >> rob: right. so you got to step out in front of the plate and grab the ball and just throw it. >> bob: thousand the padres had to know that, if they did that, it would take the hands out of the hand of adrian gonzalez, the nats will walk him here, set up a double play with kevin kouzmanoff coming up. kouzmanoff has hit into a team- leadi

this is an interesting day for nyjer as well as sean burnett coming back to a place where they pretty much matured as major leaguers. he's hitting .404 as a national. a breaking ball will pop him up. right out behind short. ronny cedeno just obtained from seattle for the first out. here is the rest of the lineup. cristian guzman five straight multihit games. zimmerman and adam dunn, i guess you say the adam dunn era at first base gets begun og -- gets going on a full-time basis. willingham, willie harris, josh bard and alberto gonzalez. nats are hitting .253. still ninth in the league in runs and home runs. guzman hits that ball pretty well in the sun light and that's the outstanding, young player andrew mccutchen. looking forward to seeing him this weekend. >> rob: let's break him down. let's break down mr. ohlendorf with the pnc bank scouting report. he's been traded a umm could have times. he was trade the from the d'backs to the yanksthis year a deadline traded from yankees to here with carson, kucinichon and tejada. he has to repeat his delivery along with a crush a lot of bapts

and sean burnett on top of that. he's energized this team. and quite frankly, the ball club needed a jolt and so did we. we enjoyed dealing with him on a daily basis. we like him even more because he's one of those guys from our standpoint who gets it. always willing to chat and talk baseball. he remembers you, knows your name. and he's an interesting guy to have around the ball club. he stays alive on a 1-2 breaking ball. i think we're going to beat the dodgers and the marlins to the finish line tonight. marlins lead at los angeles 3- 1. everything else over. morgan gone for the first time tonight. and a 1-2-3 seventh for the prime minister thatcher.  i've never been all that great with my money. probably because i've never had much. but now that i'm making more, it's time to be a little smarter about how i manage it.. with the calendar, i can schedule all my payments. and when funds are low, danger days help me stay out of the red. i can also transfer money with just a click and a drag. so maybe i'm better with money than i thought.

>> i think kind of lost in the shuffle of the deal with pittsburgh involving nyjer morgan and sean burnetts been burnett. morgan, we well know, well documented the headlines he's received, but let me tell you something, burnett coming out of that bullpen, he's getting the job done. >> to me he's emerged as our best left-hander out of the pen. burnett nine innings pitched, 0.96 earned run average with 118 opposition batting average. he's got that nasty sinker. i didn't realize his ball went that much down late, and he has a real good curveball. he's always around the strike zone and he works very quickly. those are some pretty pathetic numbers right there. >> he's got a .118 batting average against going forward and his strikeout to walk ratio 8-to-1. he has a hold and one earned run giving number nine innings. that's an 0.96 e.r.a. >> you don't see numbers like that in just nine innings, but it's nine basically different appearances. so he's been good every time out there save one, but he's right around the plate and has that kind of overpowering sink to his fastball with the command. >> h

the former national lastings milledge involved in that deal for sean burnett and nyjer morgan. recalled today. he'll be in the starting lineup tonight for the bucs. recalled from indianapolis. trade deadline date in july. you might remember these trades. nats acquired emilio bonifacio from arizona. in july, 22 of 2008. gonzalez from new york yankees of that year, kearns and lopez and wagner came from the cincinnati reds. shairon martis from san francisco and in 2005, nats got preston wilson from colorado. today, they send nick johnson to the florida marlins and joe beimel goes to the colorado rockies and that means adam dunn will now be playing first base for the remainder of the year. let's go out to pnc park up there in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, and there's our man, mark zucker man. let me get your thoughts. ray and i have been talking about this all day. your thoughts about beimel going to colorado and johnson to florida. >> these are two guys that will be free agents at the end of the season anyway and question about what kind of confrontation you -- confrontation you get f
