the enemy. >> well, that's okay. >> just kidding. amanda, let's talk about this. for the first time in a long time, maybe the first time ever, these two teams meet at a time where they are both doing great and they are contenders. >> yeah, i mean, you know, we talked about it last year when they were playing. it would be interesting to see what would happen if both of these teams were doing well and, you know, i don't think anybody expected it to happen this quickly but here we are and it should be a pretty good three game series this weekend at park. >> they were going to meet as both being number 1 teams. nats last last night -- lost last night so slipped to number 2. should we be worried about that? >> it's extremely early. the standings are relevant but they are a half a guy behind the braves. they've got enough time to make it up if they have to. >> sure. steve, talk to me about what's going on up there in baltimore, the excitement. is there big excitement surrounding the team this year and everything that's going on there? >> yeah, i think there's really a sense that maybe this is the

year they finally get off the schnide. i think there was really kind of a malaise more so than in other years, you didn't always have the, well, it's spring, anything can happen kind of thing that you usually get. but with the way this team started with them already having 25 wins in mid-may, i think people are really starting to jump on the bandwagon, so to speak. >> i want to ask both of you the same question. amanda, starting with you, what are the keys to this series for the nationals doing well in this series? >> i key for the nationals all season is just that their pitching has been carrying them. they have the best pitching staff in the major leagues. they have the hardest throwing pitching staff in the major leagues. you know, and they are going to have strausberg pitching in the series which is always a bonus. for them as a matter of being able to get into the orioles pitching staff because their offense is what they need really. you know what you're going to get from the pitching staff

which is a manageable run total that the nationals offense could easily overcome. that will be the key. >> how about for the os? >> pitching is obviously always the key, and i would say the orioles pitching staff while it's performed extremely well so far this year, not quite on par with the stuff that the nats are throwing out there. that said, the orioles' offense has also shown it's not going to give up. a lot of comebacks, late inning surges, they won two in kansas city this past week where they were down going into the 7th inning and the 9th inning. they have shown they are resilient and they can come back and score runs. >> both of these teams have shown resilience. steve, let me ask you, though, both teams are also dealing with pretty significant injury. >> yeah, you're right about that. you know the orioles are without basically two of their top four outfielders right now. mark reynolds also on the disabled list.

so -- and some of their top pitchers expected to have at the beginning of the i can't year like zach britain isn't pitched at all this season. yoshi also has not pitched yet this season. this is a team that stands to possibly maybe even be better than they are right now when they can get some people back. >> would the same be true for the nationals? >> yeah, i think on even a higher level because the key people they are missing are so piece. you know, they've lost a lot of their key players. willis ramas is done for the year. so they are going to be getting morris back soon, they hope, werth in a couple of weeks. if they can continue the pace pa they have set already and start getting some of those players back healthy, you know, who knows what they would be able to do in the second half. >> similarities are interesting. makes for a great series. amanda it's a three game

series, who do you pick? >> you know, i mean any given day on a baseball field, any team can win but i think that i would give the upper hand to the nationals in this series because the orioles' bullpen is beat up coming out of the week they have had. it all depends, comes down to pitching like steve said, it will depend on starting pitching for both teams so i think it should be a pretty good series. >> steve, your analysis? >> well, i think it's going to be an awfully close series. i certainly don't think it's going to be a sweep one way or the other. that said, i'm going to have to agree to disagree i guess a little bit with amanda and say that i think the bullpen is actually -- you know, she is right that they are going to be a little bit tired and they have been put to a lot of use. that said, they have been absolutely lights out so far so i think i'm going to give a slight edge to the orioles here. >> we will see how it plays out over the course of the weekend. thank you for joining us on skype from baltimore. amanda, thank you for coming in. we appreciate it. i want to show you information. you can see saturday's game right here on fox 5, orioles at

race. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. it is a beautiful morning and what an amazing race this is really shaping up to be. there's only 11 horses in the field. it's the smallest field since 2007 i think but all eyes are on bodie master, which is the favorite. he didn't win the derby, came in second, is trained by hall of famer bob baford. and the other horse is i'll have another. and this guy who happens to be the training. >> how are you doing? >> reporter: doing great. what does it take to get a little respect. shouldn't i'll have another be the odds on favorite heading into the race tomorrow? >> in the o'neal barn he is but having a hall of famer like bob baford who has already won five of these, i've never ran in one before. i ran one horse at pimlico. >> but you did win yesterday. that's a good sign. >> great sign. we are heading the right way. and then they have got hall of

famer mike smith, great jockey. we've got hopefully future hall of famer, mario gutierrez. but a lot of reasons why i could see someone putting their hard earned money on bodemeister but i might be wrong. >> how did it go this morning? >> trained great. slept great, ate up everything and galloped full of energy. he loves baltimore. >> reporter: that is always the thing about the triple crown is the races are too close together and so can the horses be rested enough to keep winning? >> i think we can. he's a horse that had three starts as a 2-year-old, and a five month break to give him time and let him develop and then he's won three races this year so he is a fresh legged full of energy horse that i think with a little bit of luck if he can stay injury-free, i think there are all kinds of cool things that can happen. >> you think the shorter race

bodes well for you? i shouldn't used the word bode. as i said that, i'm like strike that from my vocabulary. >> this interview is over. no. just kidding. i think it does kind of maybe lend to a horse like bob but i'll have another, his first step out of the gate is quick so he's a versatile horse this time. might have to be a little bit closer to bodemeister and i feel confident. no matter how it unfolds, i think we are going to be tough. >> reporter: did i hear that someone told me that i'll have another travels with a chiropractor and a massage therapist? kind of entourage. >> we are trying to think of what we could add, there's got to be other things we can add so we might get a chef who makes carrot cake or something. we are working on that. if he gets lucky on saturday, we are going to add to the entourage. >> you know what i love about you is you're so relaxed, you're laid back, you're taking

it all in. >> can you talk to my life why you love me? she has a lot -- she still can't figure out why she loves me. anything you can help me with would be great. >> you're enjoying it. and this has to be a whirlwind from winning the derby, now going on here. how do you make sure that you take in the moment? >> i know. you wish you could slow it down and -- but everyone here at pimlico has been great and we are looking at it like who knows if we will ever come back here again. hopefully we do every year but the people tom and jillian and mike and all the people here at pimlico have been unbelievable to us, going from the baltimore raven camp and meeting coach harbaugh to throwing out the first pitch at camden yards to meeting a bunch of cool kids -- >> i guess it's not too bad winning the derby. >> not sha shabby -- too shabby. >> i hope tomorrow you'll be saying i'll have another after

frederick. back to you. >> sherri ly thank you very much for that report. a popular antibiotic may be linked to sudden onset heart problems according to a long running study from vanderbilt university. researchers studied data on antibiotics given to more than half a million medicaid patients in tennessee. among those who took a five day treatment of zithromax, 29 patients died of heart-related ailments. joining us now with more on the study and its implications is dr. warren levy, a cardiologist with virginia heart. thanks for coming in, sir, appreciate it. >> good morning. >> when i heard about this yesterday, i'm one of millions of people who has taken zithromax. i was alarmed. you came in a little while ago and you and i have chatted and you've already made me feel better. put this -- tell us what the study shows and can you put it in perspective for us? >> sure. first let's not all get too excited. this is a retrospective study so they just reviewed medical records as opposed a study

which you go forward and test the medication and it showed what other similar medications in that class of antibiotics have probably shown, and that is there is an increased risk, especially to patients with cardiovascular disease, of taking certain medications because they can potentially have an effect on the electrical system of the heart. now, the numbers were very small. when you convert it to number of deaths per million patients treated, patients who either took nothing or took amoxicillin had about 30 deaths per million patients in the five days. people who took the z pack had 85 deaths per million. the numbers extremely small but it does raise the question, the fda has said we are going look at this now to see if we need to increase our warnings about this medication, but it's very similar to the other mackra lit antibiotics like arig my sin and color rig my son -- clorr

-- it can cause a chaotic heart rhythm that can lead to death. >> the numbers are low but if you're one of those 85 people, it doesn't matter that the numbers are low. you've died possibly because -- >> wow. we don't take it lightly and you're absolutely right. what it does is i think it raises a warning, it reminds physicians and reminds patients, number 1, you don't take antibiotics unless you need them. we prescribe far too many antibiotics for what ends up being viral illnesses. we need to be careful, especially careful in using certain classes of antibiotics that can have this electrical effect on the heart and then we would need to be especially, especially careful in using these classes of medications in patients who have cardiovascular disease because in that group it increases the risk by about 250 deaths per million patients treated. >> my producer had a very good question this morning. she wanted to know is there a risk if you've ever taken this drug or is it when you're

taking it, like if you took it three years ago, are you at risk? >> great question. for this particular medication, it's during the time that you take it and in fact, most of the deaths occurred between days 4 and 5 of therapy. normally it's a five day course of therapy. so that the risk occurs when you're taking it, it has an acute electrical effect on the heart. it prolongs what we call the qt interval, something we can measure on an electrocardiogram and it would have the effect then. once it's out of your system you're done. it's not like some of the other medications like the cox inhibitors in which it increases the risk of heart attacks. this is a different issue. people shouldn't throw their antibiotics down the toilet. talk to your physicians but if you're going to be given an antibiotic, be sure you need it, maybe question it and then for physicians out there, it just increases our awareness that we need to be much more careful with these medications as well as a lot of the medications that can interact together to cause the same electrical effect. >> and physicians need to ask their patients about the

history and patients need to also give that information about their heart history, what other medications they are taking and the like. >> we make all of our patients bring all of their pills with them because so often patients don't know what they are taking and that becomes critically important. your physicians need to know what you're taking before they can prescribe other medications. >> thank you for coming in and putting this in perspective. >> have a good day. >> yep. allison. 8:11. 57 degrees out there on a friday morning and the focus on the economy and the race for the white house. chris wallace will be talking with guests from both sides of the aisle this week on fox news sunday. up next we are going to check in with him for a preview. and his wife is joining us as well. the wallaces are out are a new cookbook, mr. sunday's saturday night ticket. we will talk with them about that too after the break. ak

gaithersburg, 57, fred dick foo for you -- frederick, 52 for you. cool across the mid-atlantic and into new england where we've got high pressure and that's going to keep us nice and dry today. a little bit of cloudiness and a few showers across the outer banks of north carolina. we will have to watch that toward the end of the weekend, see how close that tracks toward the washington area. but possible we could have a late thunderstorm on sunday and maybe a few showers around here early next week. but until then, bright sunshine, a guarantee today will be nice and dry for you with high temperatures expected to be in the mid to upper 70s, near 80 by saturday and sunday. that's a quick look at the forecast. it's time for our my first 5 photo of the day. these are 18-month-old tony and allison, 18-month-old twin centers erin and charli. you see the shirts?

>> yes. i did this event last year. the kids are absolutely wonderful, tucker, it is going to be such a fun experience and to have you join the team and not only that, but the warmup, allison and tony, it's a zumba instructor so i am hoping we can catch tucker on film doing the zumba warmup. >> that changes everything. i didn't know anything about zumba. >> i've got a feeling after the warmup from zumba, tucker is going to be like this. >> tape it, julie, tape it. >> i know. >> with all these high school kids around, do you think i got a chance to win this race? >> i think you're going to get left in the dust. these kids are running five minute miles so -- >> i believe it. i can't wait to see you sunday morning. we will have fun. >> thank you so much. on the roads you're going to find that the lanes are open but still slow going on the outer loop as you work your way past university boulevard and colesville road, that accident activity out of the roadway.

heavy and steady it is moving slowly over towards the southwest southeast freeway. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. >> thank you so much, julie. time now to check in and see what's coming up this week on fox news sunday but before we mention that, chris, it looks like you've got a very special guest with you. good morning to both of you. good morning to the wallaces. >> good morn>> and let me just a follow-up, lorraine, of your hugely popular book, the first one, mr. sunday's soup. can you tell us about this new cookbook. >> the new cookbook is that chris won't eat anything but chicken on saturday nights because change it overrated, so i had about three recipes that i knew and they were probably overcooked so i decided to take my kitchen to a new level and create 100 chicken recipes for you with 34 vegetarian sides. >> wow. we are so excited about that.

and a little birdie tells me you will be in studio along with chris, of course, next week and we get to taste one of these recipes right here at fox 5? >> more than one. >> more than one. and i've already selected all the treats for you guys. >> we can't wait to see you again in studio. i know it's hard to follow that up but hopefully you're offering something half as yummy on sunday. >> well, i don't know that it's as yummy but it will be nutritious. we are going to have a debate between paul ryan, the republican chairman of the house budget committee who is kind of the intellectual force on capitol hill and one of president obama's top advisers. you know, this week the president went after -- and the obama campaign went after romney on capital and that he was insensitive to people out of work. romney is going after obama on the debt and the deficit. and we are going to debate all of these issues that are going to be central to the presidential campaign. it doesn't seem as exciting as

chicken, though, does it? >> sorry, it really doesn't. but i will -- sorry about that. but i will also say that it seems like it's going to come right back down to the economy come november. >> absolutely. look, you've got millions of people unemployed or underemployed and these two gentlemen are offering two completely different philosophies, visions for where to take the country, so i think it's going to be a really dramatic campaign and a very clear choice for people as to what they think is the solution, what's the answer. >> chris, i think you could spice it up by adding lorraine to the panel. lorraine, i don't know what you think about that but i would love to hear your opinion too. >> politics is not really my thing. i think one person that's really good at it is mr. sunday here. >> okay. we will leave it to mr. sunday. >> actually, she has lots of opinions but i'm not sure i want to risk her telling them on tv. >> right. better to keep it separate. we look forward to seeing both of you in studio next thursday. thank you so much. >> we will be there. >> all right. and we will check you out on sunday of course, chris.

shoes and socks off and going i'm going to put it up on someone's elbow? >> i wish you told me that before, because during the commercial break i asked josh to come smell allison's feet and you were nice about it. >> she has beautiful feet. >> yes, she does. >> very beautiful feet. but i would pick a new fragrance. >> okay. [ laughter ] >> whatever that one was, i think they made that fragrance ninth street and that's not a good fragrance to have on your foot, ninth street. >> ninth street. no. i wouldn't buy that. >> ninth and main. >> we are happy to have you here. >> i'm very happy to be here. >> let me ask you a couple -- first of all, "chelsea lately," very popular show. you enjoy doing the show? >> it's the only show, and for sure as a comic, where we are always sensorred. >> are you really? >> we are going to find out in a couple of seconds what kind of a sensor censor -- censor

you have here. >> she basically says you don't censor yourself. if you need to be censored they will do it for you. for me, i don't have much of a filter from here to here so it's a perfect spot for me. she is -- i mean, if you watch the show, she doesn't have much of a filter either. >> no. that's why i was surprised when you said censor because you all say whatever you want to say. >> whatever we want to say. that's the best part about it. and it's the only place that economics can do -- comics can do it on tv. my job is really to play practical jokes on people, something i get paid to do. that was one of the reasons they hired me on, they said do you mind just messing with people. and i'm saying no. we can put it on tv? and i said i've been doing it my whole life and not getting paid for it. do you know there are things you can buy online that you put under cars, they are jacks but with wheels and you can move people's cars? >> i did not know that, no.

>> you might find out later. >> are you pulling a joke right now outside the studio? >> we are going to be moving people's cars soon. >> are you really? >> yes. >> without them knowing, you go up to a car and move? >> the fact that you can buy them legally is amazing. we are going to put people's cars on lawns. going to be a good time. >> we can look forward to that on the show. great. you're on the road. now, this gig here in town, you're headlining, right? >> yes. >> because you also tour with a crew there from the show. >> yes. >> what's that like? you get to do whatever you want on the tv show. it's got to be even wilder, i would think on the road. >> way wilder. people say all the time you're much funnier live because we get to pick our topics live. i get to talk about what i want to talk about. when i travel with three people from the show, my liver can't handle that every weekend. you know what i mean?

i mean i need to reel it in ale little bit. come up on myself, eat some lettuce. flush it out. >> your career has been interesting because you've worked on a lot of projects that almost were, you know, tv shows that -- >> you're calling me an almost guy. >> no, no, no. >> you're saying you almost made it? is that what he's saying nicely? >> no. here's what's interesting about it because that's the norm in hollywood. people don't know that but most folks work on 10 projects that get developed, go to pilot stage, never get on tv or whatever it is. that's how a lot of people get a lot of work and experience which is what you got too. >> that's why most people say they came out of nowhere or this person just showed up on the scene when really we have been working for 10, 15 years. i've had three tv shows in development, i got another one at fox right now. i mean, they are all just like you just wait and fingers crossed. chelsea had three shows before this one. >> sure. >> that probably nobody heard of and all of a sudden they say

she came out of nowhere but she worked hard forever. >> you talk a lot about your kids. how many kids do you have? >> that i claim? >> that you claim. that you're aware of. >> that share my last name? that i currently give money to? i mean so many different categories. i've got one in particular that is really right now the bane of my existence. >> really? >> he's like -- you know, i may have started having sex at a young age and because of that, i have a teenager and he is now officially doing things to me that i did to my father. here's the conversation i had with him. i said, hey, man, did you know that vodka doesn't freeze? he's like i didn't know that. i go did you know that water does? he goes yes, i did know that. i said why did you put water in my vodka bottle and put it back in the freezer? you've got to be more creative than that. >> good. that's good. i like that.

>> yeah. he is the bane of my existence right now. >> i'm sure he is. josh, it was great having you here. thank you for coming here. >> thank you. >> he is at the riot at at comedy theater this weekend and tonight. some tickets still available, right? >> yes. are we going to sell the fragrance. >> we will market it. the same thing that sells cars. >> two for one. >> i get the message. it's thrown out already. thanks for smelling my feet, josh. holly morris is at the pimlico racetrack as they get ready for the 137th preakness stakes on saturday. >> reporter: good morning. it's an exciting race come tomorrow, at least exciting if this guy has to do about it. if there's one person you want to talk to athe this -- talk to at this track, bob baffert is it. he is the trainer for bodemeister, who is the first. how are you feeling? >> i had a little bit of -- i had a few stints put in me but

actually doing very well and i feel normal and back to a normal routine. >> reporter: hearts pounding well, heart will be pounding come tomorrow, i'm sure during the race. >> always. >> reporter: you know, you've won this race five times, three derbies, a belmont, but there's got to be something special when you have a horse as a contender that's named after your son. >> it brings a lot of excitement and bodie, who is 7 years old, you know, he's really enjoying it, he's just getting to that age where he understands that, you know, if the horse loses, he feels the pressure, and so he's been very -- ever since the horse won the arkansas derby, he's felt a little bit of pressure like he's afraid the horse is going to get beat and he was disappointed when he lost the kentucky derby, so i feel a little bit of added pressure. >> reporter: do you call him bodemeister, your son? >> yeah, most of my brothers, they call him the bodemeister. so that's how the name came

about. it's something that the owner occupant, he had changed the name. it had some other name that it was a ridiculous name. >> reporter: bodemeister fits and -- >> it was grame and spike. it was named after a dog. i told him i'll call him bodemeister until you change. name and then he named him bodemeister and i go why did you name him after my son. sometimes it's a jinx. >> reporter: coming in second in the derby is not a bad thing. you are the odds on favorite. are you looking to go wire to wire when you're talking with my jockey mike smith? what is the plan here? >> on paper he looks like, you know, he's going to be the speed and so he's -- you know, he has to break well and if you can get him, you know, cruising -- high cruising speed so

hopefully he doesn't go as fast as he did in the derby. >> some people might say you own this race, you got five preakness titles. what is your secret? >> my secret is those horses were very, very good horses, they were the best horses and that's why they won and, you know, three of them won the kentucky derby, the other two didn't run well in the derby, but they bounced out of it really well. so -- but, you know, it's -- the cream always rises to the top and i think the kentucky derby winner is a very good horse and he's going to be tough to beat. >> reporter: and every year obviously there's so much anticipation in hopes of there maybe being a triple crown winner. two questions for you in that regard. it's been 34 years since we've had one. do you think that it is ever going to happen again? -- like i'll have another, if he pulled this off, i think he's got the -- you know, the distance.

he doesn't have distance limitations. he could keep on going. and my horse, he's, you know, after he runs here, i might get off at this bus stop and go home. >> you're hoping it will be 35 years, right, until there's another triple crown? is it good for the sport for there to be a triple crown winner or better for the sport to remain illusive? >> i think it's good for belmont to have it because it really fills up the stands and those people, they have been just showing up every time for a triple crown and every time i left, though, i think i felt worse than the fans because i felt like i let them down. we went through it three times. i think it's good for new york and belmont, people love to see history being made, so it's good for any sport. >> reporter: hopefully your horse will enter the history books tomorrow as the winner of the preakness. myfoxdc.com is our website. we have a link to pimlico so you can find out more how everything is working come

tomorrow. we had o'neal, baffert. who knows who we will have in the 9:00 hours. stay with us. take care of yourself, stay healthy. >> fox 5 news brought to you by bmw, the ultimate driving machine. [ sneezes ]
