for those two women in particular. as for whether they are about to be released, we simply do not know. but it might be safe to assume that president clinton would not have traveled all the way to north korea without at least the large details of a deal already put in place. and without some sort of guarantee that those women would be following him home or, indeed, even leaving with him so there is some hope, now, that they may be released and may be able to leave north korea very shortly. shepard: that would be terrific. if north korea is about to free the two journalists what does north korea get in return? do we have any clue? >> several experts say what they get mainly is a visit by a very high-profile u.s. former president. that is one thing that they really want. it allows kim jong il to say to the people in his country as they go through this secession process that he remains a very important leader and north korea is a very important country. most experts i spoke to do not believe there is any other quid pro qu

" guys, two 6'7" guys.hat's what is pirates are talkb those are guys they want to draft. >> bob: rob and i talked about that sunday in piferg. pirates have a philosophy in their organization now drafting tall pitchers. increase that go downward angle towards home plate. belliard can't get it. strikeout number two for vandenhurk. >> rob: the thing about neil huntington i do like is part of his baseball resume is work with the cleveland indians. they've had a great -- or a great history of great evaluations and drafting very talented players. as long as you develop and draft talented players you think and project could play on the major league level, the pirates would be fine. once they get of age you're going to have to sign them. you've got to eventually spend money to win games. >> bob: you cannot continue to be a farm team for the rest of baseball. >> rob: right. >> bob: that's why you have a team in washington. expos did not have the attendance and money base to keep all those great, young players. >> ro

you stretch out one, maybe two. and get yourself back in this game. >> bob: karstens's 27th appearance. he has made 10 starts, a 4.40 e.r.a., and a breaking ball by anderson stays with to foul off. it seems like they only blow those whistles when the nats are hitting. how do they know? hernandez, heading to the scoreboard. it will bounce off the scoreboard and he will head to second base. a lead-off double pinch hitting here in the sixth. >> rob: a nice way to start. >> rob: karstens is known as a good power pitcher. he is going to try to throw something off speed which maybe isn't his repertoire which is maybe he is out in the bullpen. hanging, the changeup and anderson crushed it. >> bob: his ninth double of the year, his 12th extra-base hit and here is nyjer morgan who is 2-3. a base hit up the middle and the last time up to left field. he shows bunt. the pitch is way up. >> rob: nyjer morgan, he came up to me. he was upset. he didn't do well last night. he is back with a vengeance. >> bob: so he is hitting .310
