jim hunter with jim palmer. the amazing thing about the performance from rich hill tonight, unfortunately the orioles really had no idea of knowing which rich hill would show up the tonight it was the goodrich hill. he was very effective. >> jim p.: we talked about king of the hill, being aggressive, forget about the bad starts. i think he did a good job of that. you've got to be on egg shells when he's pitched. tonight he threw the ball well, he made some great pitches. >> jim h.: you talked about, hey, forget about everything. don't go out there and think, just go out there and pitch. >> jim p.: i thought he threw the ball better, he had better life through the strike zone. we could work on change-ups and i think that's what he's going do the second half of the season. yogi never, he just called the pitches. he never pitched. he hit 358 home runs. >> jim h.: this the final start for rich hill prior to the all- star break. this is really something he might be able to build on. >> jim p.: the orioles certainly w

jim? >> jim h: all right, amber, thank you very much. we saw a quick shot of arena marks there from our radio flagship. of course her and scott on every day on masn, their afternoon radio show, and there is the crew chief dale scott who began the day at first base, he has oned his home plate umpiring gear, and has taken over for culpa. and i'm sure ron now is getting taken care of by richey and brian and any of the orioles team physicians here at the game today. >> you can see, a lot of protection, also the chest protector, also department shoes for foul balls. >> so ernie tilery busy man down there getting the dale scott home plate umpiring gear out, which was probably already packed. >> definitely. as you mentioned, the only guy that did not umpire until just this moment >> so we'll have three umpires, jerry meals has moved to first base, and mike demuro is at third, and the conviction of the two will help out at second base. there's mike and there's jerry. >> spring training type umpiring. >> so the crew chief dale scott now back at t

>> jim p.: and that a double. >> jim h.: there's a strike. >> jim p.: and they take away the line. not at first, but melvin mora playing about a step behind the bag just in case he bunts and guarding the line. take away the double with the one run lead. >> jim h.: and he hit him. scutaro hit by a pitch which gets the tying run on. >> jim p.: well, it gets somebody that can steal bases. but this is the last thing you want to do if you're jim johnson. he's been a little bit out of sorts over the last two, three weeks. right there you can see marco getting out of the way as much as he could. he could see it coming. >> jim h.: so johnson hits scutaro leading off here in the 8th inning. we'll see how the blue jays play this on the road. not very likely you'll have this guy bunt. he's second in the league in base hits. >> jim p.: boy, are those good numbers. >> jim h.: second batter this year that johnson has hit. what you might see here is a hit-and-run. >> jim p.: the one thing i've noticed from jim johnson, it almost looks like maybe something's going on physically, is that he just ha

>> jim: and abreu doesn't slide! >> gary: he was falling down, was not going to have a chance to go to first, so is jim johnson just let it rip to second base, and they get abreu. >> jim: who stands up. this is going to be about as food a play as you can make. he stumbles, and look at this throw, and he doesn't slide. unbelievable, 35-year-old guy, another bad base running play. terrific play by jimmie johnson. >> gary: look at this mile and on his face. boy, that's a big, big play to get an out, keep the potential tying run from getting to the plate here. and you saw brian roberts point to first base. that will be fouled off by guerrero as the took the throw, and abreu may have looked at that and figured, well, throw is going the other way way, because he wasn't looking at the ball, and just kind of meandered into second, and was out. if he slides, he's in by a country mile. >> jim: oh, yeah. >> gary: guerrero with a single, 1 for 38, and has scored a 3, and has scored a run in the ball game. down to second base goe

joined by jim palmer. i guess when you look at those numbers, the question is why is it happening and what could the orioles do to change it? >> jim p.: well, they need to play better. i mean that's the first thing and you need mora, who hasn't hit a home run in almost 48 games, adam jones as a right- handed hitter, you need him to step up. i think overall, jim, what happens is that the orioles have very good left-handed hitters so when you face saunders, washburn pitched a one hitter, vargas left, the orioles came back and won that game. then brett cecil probably pitched the best game. the bottom line, when you stack up lefties against the orioles, huff, markakis, even brian roberts, he'll bat right- handed, that's not his best side, the slugging numbers go down. you really need to get good pitching. even when you got good pitching, last night, cecil pitched better than berken did. >> jim h.: unfortunately for the birds, had he goes to the mound, they really don't know which pitcher they'll get. >> jim p.

jim h: 2-1. low. ball three. small ball as a team can help you and here's a perfect example. angels tied for first in the west. they're in small ball. orioles, not so much. >> jim p: going from first to third is misleading although they do it so well. mike sciocia said you run through the base and decide whether you're going to the next base. that's what you have to do to go from first to third. >> jim h: that's going to get down for a base hit. wieters will score and andino to third. roberts goes to second. the throw home -- he is safe! at the plate! he got the foot in before the tag of mike napoli so roberts comes through to drive in two and has all three rbis and the orioles now with a 3-0 lead. >> jim p: that's why you don't always sacrifice. so right here you can see -- there's your double cutoff man and watch this ball short-hop because if it's not a short hop, napoli doesn't come out in front of the plate. we saw him if the other night. he took the plate away so great slide by robert andin

let's go to anaheim to revisit with jim hunter and jim palmer. jim? >> jim h: thank you very much. in a series where you have leads in three consecutive games and you're managing to win only one, the work of the bullpen comes into play. the angels' bullpen was fabulous. orioles struggled, especially the last few nights. >> jim p: i think they're overwork and didn't execute. last night, baez came in. to tie game, they give him an extra out right here and falls apart. it has to be caught. without been a tie ball game. they bring in bass and 395th career home run by guerrero, he lost his bat speed. on sunday, albers comes on to make a pretty good pitch early on but the pitch before, curveball, the next pi

. >> jim: you know tommy. >> gary: know tom by hunter. >> jim: and of course the talk is that they'll get josh hamilton back, you know, with 130 rr bis last year, so that will be kind of like making a trade. he's been out moist of the first half with the rangers. >>> that one. to right field, bobby abreu backing up, runners tagging, abreu has got it. mora heads to third. staying at first base is wieters. and there are two down here in the 7th inning. so thompson able to get andino on the fly ball out. brian roberts is going to get the rbi chance. brian has had a single. one for four, and he has scored a run. top of the order, which had such a miserable night offensively last night, tonight they have delivered. roberts has got a hit and scored. jones has been on base three times. he has scored tice. he has a hit. markakis has a two for four, he has scored two runs in the ball game, so top of the order has been there in this one. >> which is usually the case for the orioles. that one for 16, the only hit that thai got was huff. >> gary: buried in the territory by thompson, and a 1- 0 co

>> jim h: way back. debut of 1995 for gregg zahn. still going back, it is off the wall, and if play. 5ing back in is joans, and on at second base with a double to lead off the 7th inning is overbay. >> jim p: is and before the in, be a lot of the bullpen for the orioles was getting up and stretching, because normally, orioles hoping this will will not abnormal day, because bergesen has pitched so well, and been able to do it late in the game, an example is the red sox game, one run in 8 innings. so again, everybody getting loose just in case you have to get up. >> jim h: here is rios. breaking ball for a strike. >> jim p: not a particularly good one, but he gets fooled on it. just backed. and hit the inside part of the plate. let's see how they play it. you're three runs down, but you still have nine outs to work with if you're the jays. are they going to try to advance the runner? they didn't do a very good job of it last night. ended up losing by one run. so if you've been in a lot of one-run ball game

get anxious. >> jim h.: just inside. >> jim p.: he wanted that pitch. >> jim h.: i am not sure this one went around the plate. it got the strike zone. it's been a long night for him. early on that was a strike. just think about it, 11 innings, all these pitchers, all these pitches. >> jim h.: he has called out four tonight. but none have been called out since the fifth inning. inside, ball three. >> jim p.: so now rolen will be running. i would imagine he'd be running. you would think that would be the case. there's your primarily lead. there he goes. >> jim h.: it's fouled off. so rolen back to first. >> jim p.: how many times do we see that last series. you get ahead of the hitter, then you know he's running. >> jim h.: rolen goes, a hard hit ball off the glove of melvin mora into shallow left field. that will allow rolen to get to third. izturis runs it down and the jays have something going now. that botched play at first base is huge as rolen who should be out is now at third. >> jim p.: you in essence give them an extra out. you could see melvin playing the line. rolen is going to

. >> jim: there you go. youngsters trying to make a living the the big difference here, 2.9 and 6 1/2. that does make a big difference. it gets you a little bit of coverage. for jason, we mentioned only in his last start in anaheim, the orioles actually with two 4-0 leads did not win either of those games. tonight, better. the breaking ball is better and then right there, we talked about scott rolen, he pops up the change-ups. using the complimentary pitches more effectively. >> gary: vernon wells. wells with a nine-game hit streak the he flied out to center. adam jones has four putouts in centerfield so far in the ballgame. this is a flyball-hitting team. this is a team that hits line drives, flyballs. that one popped up, third base. melvin mora. and another strong inning as berken sets the side down in order. that's the third time he has done that in 4 innings. male announcer: the chicken is tender, juicy, and lightly breaded. the sauce is a mouthwatering blend of sweet & spicy. every bite delivers a kick

that get this run in and the run over. >> jim: and aubrey huff is getting pitches to do that on, jim, as santana is working him inside. >> jim: and then what happens is you force mike scoscia to say, okay, am i going to bring, with reimold coming to the plate, am i going to bring the infield in. so you could force them to hit, and really force the issue you. >> gary: 1-1 delivery to him, stayed inside and misses again. good-bye, home run! orioling take a 5-0 lead.    . >> gary: aubrey explaining it. for aubrey huff, that's the 5th home run he has hit in th ballpark in his career. the deliver to reimold, fastball will be taken away, and the count goes full, 3-2. mike scoscias comment on santana, he said last year he was electric, this year he's very good, and he said he we can live with that if he can be consistent at being very good. right now he isn't. and a walk, and ready is on, let's take a look at our league leaderboard presented by firestone.   did not go around. all of his home runs been against the american league. >> jim: yeah

>> jim: no. he will be 33 next year. he is in the last year, next year, of his contract. pay does not make a whole lot of difference. he would make any team he goes to a lot better. >> gary: brewers have talked publicly they will talk to the jays about him. >> jim: you know, they are talking to three, four quality players. it has happened in the past, especially if you have another year on your contract. he would be effective anywhere because he can flat out pitch, roy halladay. he got beaten yesterday by the tampa bay team and david price 3-2. and he has done it. that's plenty of room. 1-2-3 inning. crab meat on the way. hang in there.   . >> gary: tonight's contestan is bill de sandro. you have a chance to win $99 worth of american scratch off. you can enter by logging in at masn sports.com. owings mills where the great financial show came from for decades. here is scott rolen. rolen is on a tear. a 25-game hit streak. he has uped his average to third best in the american l

good-bye, home run, jim thome! good for three. >> jim: well, not a good idea a couple of walks to get to this guy, and then go 2-0 on him. i mean, this is about as hard a line drive as you could hit. hit. three-run home run line drive. >> gary: 556th career home run for the 13th all-time leading home run hitter, and with that berken is out of the ball game. the long ball hurt him. matt albers coming on, the white sox take a 6-3 lead. they're all around us. which is why pnc created grow up great. a $100 million program that prepares young children for school. and the world they'll inherit.... sooner than you think. pnc. leading the way. ah, just installed fios in the whole building. now everyone has the fastest upload speeds. and we're giving them a mini netbook. well, i'm sticking with cable. so's ted.

. >> jim h: he fooled you! >> jim p: well, he did. he can always fool me, i'll old, but you want to fool wells at the plate and get him out. >> jim h: there's a bus hit to right field. all wells was doing there was protecting the outside corner, and he has a two-out single. >> jim p: well, wells protected it well, and singled in to right field to get the tying run to the plate. and again, it's so imperative that jim johnson really pitches to the maximum level of his ability, because you don't have a match-up lefty in the orioles bullpen. >> jim h: here is the tying run at the plate, overbay. fouls it back. >> jim h: 2-2 on overbay, and he got him! down on strikes goes overbay, and that ends the threat! so with the tying run aptsty plate, a huge strikeout for jim johnson. bottom of the 8th coming up. orioles up by 2. uilding. now everyone has the fastest upload speeds. and we're giving them a mini netbook. well, i'm sticking with cable. so's ted.

jim in new york, jim? >> caller: jim, thanks for taking the call. >> my pleasure. >> caller: i got a question on river bend for you. i like the company, own it below 12, made a monster move, but it's lost 12% in the last two trading sessions, i.t. budgets continue to be tight yet river bed's products makes things move faster, saves i.t. budgets money, i think that's a good reason to own it, as well. a lot of money, a lot of cash on the balance sheets for sisco, ibm, and hewlett-packard, and they'll be making acquisitions before we see any meaningful recovery in i.t. spending. >> jim, i think you're right. i didn't think the quarter was that bad. i've got to tell you, sometimes we get these tech companies and they believe they're going to explode. river bed was fine, i would be a buyer here. i agree with your judgment. holly in virginia. holly? >> caller: hey, cramer, this is holly from an achievable dream, a big boo-yah to you from all of our student body here in virginia. >> i love it. i love it. the repo

good to see you, sir. >> thanks, jim. thanks for letting me back on again. >> senator kaufman, i have to tell you that i'm sure there are people within the s.e.c. who will say why i don't know why senator kaufman is bothering with this. everything is fine. what are we worried about? how do you respond when they say hey, listen, what are you worried about? things are good. >> you and i know and a bunch of somebodies, predator bears made a lot of money when the stock market went down. they've got it all there, sitting there waiting for another bear market to do it again. this doesn't need rocket science to figure out what's going to happen. if we don't institute these changes so we can't have naked short selling, they're going to be right back out doing it again and some other major institution, bear stearns or lehman brothers going down the shoot. >> i made about half my money short selling. >> nothing wrong with short selling. >> when i wanted to sell something, i'd pick up the phone, call my broker and say, i need a loca

jim palmer, it's indefinable as to how those numbers can be that different. >> jim: it really is. it's a little different when you're not at home, have to come out earlier for some batting practice, but, you know, maybe, maybe the orioles need have somebody step up like bobby abreu. came into last night's game with only four home runs. really good month of june as far as rbis, not a lot of power, but somebody to step up like he did, hit a solo home run, 3-run home run, and make a difference in the ball game. >> the any gems numbers over the last month have been outstanding. >> well, they have. when you look at what they've done and the batting averages have done, the batting averages are pretty much the same, the runs, maybe a run a game, and the eras are about the same, so the quality starts. so i a fin, the orioles maybe not winning, don't have as much speed. the angels number two in stolen bases. the orioles are 13th. >> gary: now, with the chance for hern an tez to stay in the rotation will depend on how he performs tonight. it may be in another start, but he's got to battle i

you think jim -- thank jim henson for that, he created the animation and that was his idea. and grace slick actually gave rois voice to some of those early animations on "sesame street." yeah! who else has a question? yes? >> i remember from the early days, that they used to have musical interludz, just cover songs, covers of -- >> they did, automotive show tunes. >> was that strictly for entertainment? or was there some educational -- >> i don't think there was any educational value to susan singing "i enjoy being a girl." that show tune, but, it certainly made feminists howl and interestingly enough, the character of susan after the first year, she got a job and became like a public nurse, because a lot of the female viewers said, hey, look, you know, why can't we have her be a working mom, you know, working wife, why does she have to be home, literally, baking cookies, which is what she does in the first episode of "sesame street," she offers a new child to the neighborhood, some cookies and milk. so susan got a job. at you a time when a lot of other susans were getting j

sylvia. >> boo-yah, jim cramer. rut major "mad money" maven of wall street. >> sylvia, you're too kind. i got to tell you, when i hear that, i got a lot to beat this weekend. i'm just thrilled. people say hey, jim, i'm sorry -- you're not bothering me. i'm thrilled that you like the darn show! how i can help you? >> love it. here's my question. bachlster international, bax, they have great earnings. >> absolutely. >> has a big contract for the swine flu vaccine. goes up for a few days and then keeps going down. >> sylvia, we can't look at the near term action. this market likes caterpillar. it likes eaton. it likes union pacific. it likes bhp, it likes iron. it likes steel. it likes cyclicals. it doesn't like health care. but baxter is a great company for diversified portfolio. they did blow await numbers. i think there's room, sylvia, for a baxter in your portfolio as long as you have the machinery company or something that makes you diversified and are not all health care. t.j. in wisconsin? t.j.? >> boo-yah! gree

jim riggleman not happy. we'll see if there's going to be a change in attitude tonight, a little bit more focus, a little bit more working on the small things that help you win a ballgame. the nationals and the san diego padres tonight from nationals park here on masn. welcome, everybody. nice to have you with us on a saturday night from our nation's capital. welcome to nats town and a good crowd on hand this evening for game two of this weekend series against the padres who limp in at 38-59, the nationals 28-68. the silver fox looking mighty good tonight, our show brought to you by our good friends at verizon wireless. errors, errors are going to kill you every single time. i think the focus of jim riggleman's conversation last night to his ball club behind closed doors to get their attention, you can't continue to make the errors. nobody's trying to make errors, but it is what it is. 94 in 96 games. >> well, jim riggleman has always been a guy that thought about pitching first, defense second, offense third

. >> got it, jim. thanks so much. we'll check with jim throughout the hour as the news updates -- the conference call is under way in a half an hour. check out jim's twitters also on our twitter page. certainly this is going to be a big story. we saw the nasdaq rally for its longest winning streak since 1992. we should note, though, too, jim had mentioned that, yes, windoes 7 is coming out, and the stock was strong going into sellings. so it's not entirely unexpected, karen. >> there's only so much you can make up for. everyone knows windowsina s isnt there. revenue miss of that magnitude, that's hard to ovcome. i didn't see anything about bing. >> saw nng about bing. waiting for the 5:30 conference call. nothing about bing yet. >> meantime, the other big story, amazon.com, the shares are slumping. revenue this quarter may fall short of estimates. we've got the monster. he's monitoring that conference call which just got under way. dr. j., what is the latest here? >> just getting started. but i think the -- the key is
