Nick giovanni is live at nats park been there all morning and he has a special guest with him now. I like your shirt. Reporter we have the new official gear you know what its just about that time. Because you could attest to this more than i can. The city is starved for a champion and one man hoping to bring them just that is a part the principal owner excuse me mark lerner joining us here live. Thank you so much for starting your day early with us. First off could you get any sleep today . No. Not much. Every time i turned over i woke up and said heck with it. And went to just get dressed and come out here. Reporter youre a washingtonian through and through. To be a part of a moment like this from the owners seat, what is this moment like for you and your family . Well its ternly 2012 was a dream. This is a dream. We were excited for the city. For our organization. And certainly for the players, they deserve to be here. Reporter when you look at the road traveled to get here, all the injuries that you guys overcame and the trade rumors with span. At the beginning of the year. To make it through that and stay the course, how how did you manage to do that to get to this top seed . I think it was you know Matt Williams and mike rizzo. They they ran the team beautifully. That is great group of. Guys they really are a team. And no one guy. And you know they worked right through it and every team has injuries specific team has down times during the season. But they fought through them and you know they have a goal. And theyre working hard towards it. Reporter you know Ryan Zimmerman made the comment not too long ago that basically in 2012 you know the guys kind of went in blind and five guys that had playoff experience going in. But to now be back here two years later, how much more prepared do you feel like the unit is . I think theyre money more prepared. I think maturity level is there. You know that little bit of experience goes a long way. And we can get off to a good start you know today and i think things will start rolling for them but i think the first game everybody is a little more nervous than that it will calm down. But this group is ready to go. Reporter yourself included with the nerves right . Oh, yeah. Ive been crazy nervous the last few days and i want to get off to a good start today but these guys i think will will do well. Reporter you mentioned Matt Williams there. Just talk about what he has meant i mean just the job he has done coming in as a rookie manager and taken the team as far as he has so far. Hes done a great job you know he said when we interviewed. I dont know everything. Guys just let me know and im going to learn from my mistake takes and he has. And i think one day considered one of the great manager doves game and maybe as soon as this year. But hes done a great job. Well respected in the clubhouse and well respected in the community. And i think that hes going to you know just he has a long ways to go to be to be just one of the best. Reporter but as far as with this being his first postseason experience there, what are you expecting out of him and the club here making this run starting tonight . You never know i take them one at a time and im sure hes doing the same. And it takes a lot of luck. You really look back over the years and you look at the records and so many of the teams that were favored to go all the way arent the ones to win it. Its just its amazing the luck and the good breaks that it takes throughout the playoffs and hopefully it will be our year for that. Has the city buzzing. Thank you very much for your time. Mike, andrea back to you. All right lets go nats. All right show your natitude by uploading your photos to our Facebook Page. Tweet us wusa9 with the hashtag natitude and were going to put them on the air. A different kind of contest, round two for the candidates who want to be d. C. s next mayor. They met at npr studios for their second debate last night. The candidates sparred as the new poll shows the race is getting tighter. Vanessa herring joins us hive now with mu or live now with more on the debate and the poll. Reporter good morning, if bowser is worried about the poll, she is certnot showing it. The poll says her lead over David Catania is slipping going into the Single Digits as bowser, catania and Carol Schwartz didnt hold back debating last ght. Challenging each other. Each chance they got as they head into the home stretch to the november election. All three candidates squared off at npr headquarters and tackled quite a few topics including d. C. s lack of affordable housing, public and charter schools, and the need for jobs in the district. But the new poll released earlier this week by Economic Growth d. C. Rlly had all them talking. That poll shows the gap between the candidates is getting smaller. It has bowser in first with 35 , catania in second with 27 . And schwartz in third with 11 . 27 are undecided. Bowser did have a 17 point lead in a poll put out by the Washington Post last month. Now of course, each candidate has their own take on the numbers. We have the best message because we have a record. We have the most progressive things that we have done over the last 20 years im proud to have been a champion of many of them. From Marriage Equality and smoke free d. C. Medical marijuana, cutting our rate of uninsured in half and the largest investment in the history of the city thats this year. I think people are responding to the message. Were going to stick to what people tell us on the doors out in the neighborhoods and at churches and grocery stores. They want a fresh start and they want a leader thats going to bring the city together across all eight wards and were looking forward to talking to them for the next 32 days and a big win on november 4th. I think the poll was very much of a push poll. I think that it wasnt a random poll and seemed to be targeted to certain groups. And so i dont think it was such an independent poll either. So i think its sort of questionable. Reporter now this was the second debate for the candidates and they will debate a couple more times before the election next month. Back to you. All right have necessary is a thank you. Vanessa thank you. The famous jayson werth gnomes were hidden in the metro area yesterday. Did you snag one . Coming up well meet someone who did.

That Early Morning crash howard, west of connecticut avenue, pulled over to the right shoulder, did the damage though on that trip headed west. Check out the ride on 66 to the crash out of your way between manassas and centreville. Moved onto the shoulder and one in the backup near the first fit for manassas is also on the left shoulder. A slow go leesburg wrapping up the crash from the ramp to the bypass on the dulles greenway. Back to you. Thanks beverly. A storm packing winds of 60 miles an hour has caused damage across north texas. Thousands of people have been left without power. Dozens of trees have been knocked over. The winds were powerful enough to bring down part of a brick wall. A long island, new York Community is grieving the death of a High School Football player. Tom kutinella was 16 years old. The lineman took a deadly hit during a varsity Football Game on wednesday. And yesterday, hundreds of students, parents and teachers gathered on the football field at shoreham wading river high in suffolk county. In alabama, a 17yearold died after collapsing on the field after a tackle on sunday and in north carolina, a boy collapsed a week ago during pregame warmups. Changing gears. The search is on this morning for some jayson werth gnomes. Nationals employees hid 100 of the little guys yesterday. And they were all over the place yesterday morning. Wusa9 intern holly delossa found one right outside the station. [ laughter ] six of the gnomes are autographed. That was pretty funny. And the ones that are not autographed the people who find those get two free tickets to saturdays game. Right now holly is watching the game on tv like the rest of us. Right. It is 6 14. We want to take another look at the question of the morning we will have more of your responses coming up and the correct answer in 30 minutes. Youre watching in cases of rape and incest, just like the rightwing republicans in congress. They want to overturn roe v. Wade. So does she. I think roe v. Wade should be overturned. Barbara comstock even voted with rightwing republicans to require women seeking an abortion to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds. Thats all i need to know. Im john foust and i approve this messge. 6 17. This is a live look outside of wow. Clouds. Yeah. The city lights reflecting off those low and mid level clouds out there. The sky is not gray and wet and cloudy. Its not foggy. Thats good because that has been fog almost all this week. That is fog season when we have enough moisture around in lower levels of the atmosphere. When we get a little bit later into the fall and gets a little colder theres not as much available moisture so we dont have as many foggy mornings. Lets beyou show whats goingen show you whats happening with the clouds out there. I am expecting clouds and sunshine today. More clouds than sunshine. A comfortable afternoon although a bit breezy. 71 rat lunchtime with a high in the mode to perhaps upper 70s with enough sun and this evening still cloudy and 68 at 8 00. You have some High School Football plans tonight i think theyll be okay. The game nats park 3 07. Dodgers . Dodgers, giants giants are in town. With the nationals for that first game of the nlds. Mostly cloudy mild. Slim chance of a shower. Really think its going to avoid us until later tonight with a south southeast wind at 10 to 15 and your temps in the perhaps low 70s by the latter innings. This morning were in the 50s and 60s. The coolest spot all morning and a little unusual to be cambridge but it is at 52. The only people cooler than them is ill kins at elkins at 46. Low to mid60s across the region although joint based andrews at 59 along with winchester this morning. Its comfortably cool and a little bit humid. Another look outside on the michael son weather camera. Again the close oversways cloudy skies over washington this morning with the Potomac River over national. Dew point near 60 a little humidity out there. The relative humidity at 78 . The highs today this is telling a story for the weekend because highs only in the 40s across areas if minnesota back into north dakota. Chicago wont even get to 60 today and this cooler air is going to be moving south and east behind this front which stretches out all the way from the great lakes down toward the gulf coast with showers and thunderstorms. Some of these have been on the strong side down in louisiana. But this rain is still several hundred miles west of us. Our futurecast has a mild air in place. Clouds mixed with some sunshine throughout the day today. But i think more clouds than sun perhaps a little bit more sun east of us. 3 00, western maryland, West Virginia seeing the showers but the main front still by 5 30 about pittsburgh passing charston. We have a charleston. We have a ways until it gets here and hold off until 11 00, 12 00 tonight before we see showers into early saturday. The timing of the rain may work out just fine for the orioles, the nationals, High School Football games and even the college Football Games tomorrow. By noon kickoff. We should be in good shape. 76ed to. 65 tonight. Today. 65 tonight. Showers maybe some thunder overnight. Tomorrow 65 to 70. Mostly in the 60s tomorrow a breezy and cooler day. Gusts 20 to 25 out of the west northwest. Sunday, a chilly morning. 40s even few 30s. 60 to 65 for the highs. By monday were back to the lower 70s and could be pretty good for the seahawks and redskins game on monday night. Good morning beverly. Hey howard. Happy friday even with a couple of issues out there. Well take the friday part. Beltway, slowest as you make your way out of college park into Silver Spring and over to bethesda slower than normal for a friday morning at this hour. Thats because the crash west of connecticut avenue moved off on to the the right shoulder. Other big trouble spots. Route 1898 in laurel near the wssc lane. Dump truck dragged down wires. Locked in either direction and wouldnt commit to that between burtonsville and laurel certainly on the east side and to laurel to route 1. That stretch of 198 is open for you. The ride Kenilworth Aven getting down past eastern avenue. Volume is building on 50 out of cheverly and on kenilworth headed south. The volume so light i suspect it wasnt a big deal. Or maybe even off the ramp and the service roadway there. Volume building and the bridges and southeast and have a cash in accokeek on 73. Eastbound lanes of 66 have been the slow go getting through manassas. The earlier crash has been cleared from the roadway in centreville. Volume on 95 and on 395 theyre checking southbound and shirlington and at duke streets for reports of crashes. Mike, andrea back to you. Thanks beverly.
