romero took a look at second, then had a hard time getting a handle on it. and it nearly cost himself an out, but a good bunt by martis. did you see what scott rolen did on that play? he came charging in, cutting in front of the runner. >> the pitcher did too good of a job fielding his position and cut in front of scott rolen. school rolen, he's good, but if a guy swings away one time, he's been doing that the whole series coming about 30 feet away from the hitter on the bunt. no fear. >> top of the order, chris and guzman singled up the middle first time. this ball pulled. that's foul. fifty pickup by rolen. and argues man was flirting with his fifth consecutive multi-hit game. >> this ball is going to be dead in front of home plate, takes a second hop. the next pitch will be romero's 39th or 40th pitch. i think the count is 39. now getting romero's pitch count up where he's pressing martis. >> guzman five for 11 in the series. nats have four hits already, but the blue jays have six. that's a breaking ball down around his feet, and two outs. three key hitte

overbay to romero, two down. top of the order, guzman, talk about the oldest player in blue jays history. >> that's a good call for the catcher. >> hall of famer, you talked to him a couple weeks ago on your radio show. >> because he was the oldest pitcher to get the 300 games, and randy johnson the second oldest to get to 300. >> how do you win 120 games after your 40th birthday. >> because he didn't win his first until he was 26. he's a knuckle baller. >> baseball fountain of youth. guzman to the right side, overbay to the pitcher. close, inning over. nats go in order for the first time today. each pitcher getting a badly needed quick fourth inning. woman over phone: no problem. you know, maybe other people are content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it's on. ( ding ) >>> one half inning

two big at-bats in the first inning when romero struck out zimmerman and dunn with two men aboard. the nats had second and third in the second and bard saved the inning with a base hit. bases loaded double play in the 5th on a first pitch to gonzalez after the two previous hitters had walked. the nats have had very few opportunities since, stranding eight. >> the nationals had romero early, and he worked in a nice comfortable groove. >> i think he struck out zimmerman and dunn on pitches that were not strikes. >> and zimmerman first and second with no outs, you have to move the runners up whether you've got to bunt them over or what. taking a strikeout was very painful. dunn goes up there thinking, i've got to get this done and you try to drive in two or least one, and he strikes out. >> yep. >> romero had trouble putting away this team all day, and then overall, like you said, one for 10 with runners in scoring position is going to be the story of the day. >> the pitching, ironic that we're saying this now. for the last week or so the pitching has been covering up for the lack of

romero. i really do. i know he's really tried to combat this perception that he was a knowledgeable and knowing steroid user or substance, performance-enhancing drug user with what happened in the off season with the 50-game suspension, but the bottom line is this comes down to a discussion between j.c. romero and some dude named robert eaton. j.c. romero understands that part of the territory that comes with being a professional athlete is that there is a certain code of conduct that you must have. he gets paid a lot of money to deal with things on the field but also off of it. he needed to act more professionally. there have been a ton of other athletes, joe frazier from philly up against muahmmed ali, jackie robinson in baseball, the target of much, much worse in fans. why did romero get so upset? if he didn't do it, why did he react this way? >> you can't win when you go up against a fan? you have everything to lose, the big contract, the fame, and the stories are going to be that you're in the headli
