>>gary: could evening, the all star achievements. now, a big question mark. there has been a suspension. san francisco giants fans won't be cheering for outfielder melky cabrera for at least the next 50 games after the star tested positive for testosterone. commissioner's office announced the suspension wednesday morning. it goes into effect immediately and means cabrera will miss the rest of the 2012 season.

if they make the playoffs he could possibly be eligible to play again. however, the organization is saying that after this barry bonds embarrassment. there is a different scenario as we spoke, earlier. and cabrera. the object of bochy and the loose to washington and and they lose one of their better players >> i was aware of the decision that was made this morning. we are disappointed. melkey was giving us a great year for us but our thoughts is that >> you never know what is going

to your head when they make decisions like that. for what reason, he will have to suffer the consequences. as we mentioned, we have lost pivotal players and important players and important parts of the year before. we believe in ourselves. we believe in our team. we are born to give the best chance possible. >> this is what the agent wrote. "my positive test was the result of my use of a substance i should not have used," cabrera said in a written statement. "i accept my suspension under the joint drug program and will try to move on with my life. i am deeply sorry for my mistake and i apologize to my teammates, to the san francisco giants organization and to the fans for letting them down." quickly, we've been talking about this all day. earlier i was on the radio when this story first broke. fleming and the

giants put out a release that members of our organization are not allowed to talk about this but it is not the same thing with barry bonds. barry bonds was controlling the clubhouse in those days and unpleasant characters the giants did not say anything because of barry bonds power. this was one in dividual move. and i do not know cupper. i do not know how desperate he was. he had a big contract chance. perhaps now, the $40 million-$50 million, $60 million offers are out the window. but i will say this. it has been my mantra for a long time it. if you have heroes out of people you have no idea. he heard his teammates. . the fact

is that when you wait in line for two hours and you wait for their autograph and you say what a thrill i just saw cobra. and i can say that unless you know somebody you enjoy them for what they do but do not put any more stock in them than if you have to. the same when you watch our newscast. pm com-- but which you agree? >>pam: i am a nice person! {laughter} >>gary: but there is a dark side. >>pam: what! {laughter} >>gary: and how many times have said that i like to watch him play to. however, unless you know somebody. and i seem happy. with back and forth but when i

am not work the i am basically in tears because of the a emotional times. when i am not on the air, i cry. i am just even say great he is going to cry. >>pam: {laughter} >>gary: seriously, i am joking. but the point is that who did he hurt? this is not. bonds or lincecum or buster posy. the fans will move on. i think his days are numbered. >> to you think that is based in baseball are numbered? >> fans are so sensitive that for the barry bonds incident that they have made a point out of it. that they are not going to announce it. but his days...

he could work cravatbut as a hih price guide there will not touch him. the giants vs. the washington nationals. this consistent sell out game. this hit to right field. lincecum giving up two hits and even strausburg. giving up a couple of runs. two-2 lincecum could not hold it. 82-homer. that made it score for = 4-2. strausburg worked six innings. the big controversy will washington shot him down. he has serious arm surgery. by mid september he might not pitch again. the dodgers and the giants will be back one game. they will lose to
