starting lineup. both zimmerman and dunn given the night off. the starting pitcher this afternoon, they take on the astros. debt whiler delivering to carlos lee. a blooper in the shallow left ceer. roger bernadina converges. desmond with a little basket catch there. that was pretty sweet. he has blossomed since the all-star break. his one problem is consistency in the field. cas in point here, bad throw. pulls him off the bag. in come the run. humberto quintero make it 2-1. desmond searching for that consistency six same score in the sixt danny espinoza comes in to score. desmond was running on the pitch. he come around to score as well. the national takes 3-2 lead. they are up 7-2 in the eighth inning. in case you haven't heard, the redskins in st. louis sunday. our first road

chance to carry the ball, the redskins' running gam will be just fine. i wouldn't stay running game is struggling. i just don't think we attempted to use the running game. we used the running game span and it is hard to get started. i think for that, they would like the get involved early and keep it going with the consistency. go we have to go out and execute our game plan. whatever they call, we have to execute. >> it h to get better. we struggled the last two weeks. we definitely have to get better if we want to do good thing. get 11 guys to play as one. it only takes one weaklink. 11

right. no mystery about what to expect from the wizards. it will be rebuilding. with training camp around the coer, ernie addressed this to me. he was not afraid to use the "r" word. rebuilding. the bar set at a realistic level, no playoff pressure. it might even make thing easier for gilbert a reason. a the man is formerly known as agent zero is the big question mark. how will his knees hold up? and how will his head hold up? the nba commissioner david stern has ordered gilbert not to talk about his locker room incident from last year. and for the first time since he's been in washington, gilbert is not the point gurd or the face of the franchise. go ernie expects bert to fit in just fine. >> i think itill wk out. it will be a process. they will to have learn each other's game and learn where they like to get the ball. they can both make plays. they can score. they can bo score. gilbert is an outstanding three-point shooter and they both have good size at that positio so you never have enough play makers on your roster. but it will take some time, i'm sure, for them to feel each other out and devep a certain kind of chemistry. john wall will be the point guard. gilbert
