[ laughter ] >> jimmy: derek never came back. yeah, i'm going to go to the bathroom. you split. dude, let's talk about -- let's get ready to talk about the yankees. do we have a shot? what's going on? >> we have a shot. you know, we always have a shot. there is -- i believe there is about 50 games left. i have no idea. because i've only played in three or four of them. so we've got about 50 games -- >> jimmy: you are back on the d.l. again? >> i am. yeah, but i hope to be off soon. >> jimmy: what a crazy year for you. >> this has been the most bizarre year of my career. you know, i've missed more games to injury this season than probably the previous 20 combined. so it's some bad l

. >> so there was a moment where i actually i saw derek jeter on tv being asked about a-rod.laughter ] it turns out that they are two completely different guys. >> jimmy: two completely different human beings. >> right. and like -- it was a very interesting expression on derek jeter's face when he was being asked about a-rod because it was the same expression you see on the face of both bill de blasio when he asked about anthony wiener. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and i thought to myself, well, really what they should do is trade places. you know, let a-rod run for mayor. because he has free time now. [ laughter ] let anthony wiener sit out the 214 game suspension because we know he can amuse himself. [ cheers and applause ] i wanted to give you this before -- this is a gift. you gave me a gift. not the monkey. >> jimmy: i will take care of that. sorry about that. >> last time you gave me a kindle. >> jimmy: yes. >> so now i am giving you this. you have to open it. >> jimmy: i do. >> yes. >> jimmy: here we go. thank you very much. it's very, very nice. i like the wrapping paper too. i

all you have to do is look to a-rod's left and you have derek jeter.ate the yaj henkees personal but derek jeter is a stand-up guy. >> that's your problem. you start with two strikes. >> i have two kids, both boys 13 and 10, and they can look up to guys like brice harper and derek jeter, and there's still plenty of guys to look up to in sports and politics, too. >> anthony weiner. you can't look up to him, you can't look up to eliot spitzer, jim mcgreehy, bob filner. >> you got dave vitter, you got duke cunningham, there are guys on both sides of the aisle. half of shakespeare is how power krup corrupts and powerful men do bad things sometimes involving women. there are public figures in washington where there are plenty of role models. >> i don't want to get too political. didn't a lot of this change, though, billy cunningham with the bill clinton/monica lewinsky, didn't it lower the bar ten notches lower. >> we look at eisenhower, even kennedy despite all the revelations we didn't know about, but when clinton turned the oval office into the oral offi

there is a reason that derek jeter makes more than a reserve player.he guys are ceos for reasons, government should stay out of it. neil: he is reporting in heaven, you should listen to him. >> he is, i wish i was there fishing, derek jeter does not get paid 300 times. neil: like 500 times. >> no. you think it is going to embarrass them, if it is, is there something wrong. what do may have to be embarrassed about. >> why is the government trying to embarrass anybody. >> why are they embarrassing them. neil: you say stick to the ratio. >> if you are embarrassed you may want to think about why. neil: okay. i don't get you. all right. thank you. and nsa -- this is something, i don't know where rick comes out, nsa hits keep oncoming, we found out a court on to nsa abuses and warning them to cool it years ago, i'm talking years ago. to republican congressman to said enough, and moving to slap them down, now. ls, and guaranteed 1-second trades. and at the center of it all is a surprisingly low price -- just $7.95. in fact, fidelity gives you lower trade comm

in derek jeter's stellar save may have stopped this run. but the yankees' otherwise sloppy play hurt. they lost to last place toronto, 7-2. with 29 games left, the playoffs getting tougher now for new york. >>> wait. football jersey, helmet, during baseball practice? tampa bay's david price was spirit for his alma mater vanderbilt. vandy opens tonight. we're talking about college football. it's back. the rays beat the angels, by the way, 4-0. >>> not sure what to have your favorite athlete autograph here? well, how about your baby? ian desmond of the washington nationals autographed one fan's baby. somehow i think that one will be washed at some point. maybe it was on the pants. >>> class is definitely back in session. but can you crank it like a chainsaw? can i speak? the viral dance move by the oregon state cheerleaders is trying to crank up the spirit. they want fans to perform the dance at home games. the move seemed to be pretty straight forward. >>> just ahead, george clooney and sandra bullock together in italy. just what the heck is

he absolutely was better defensively than derek jeter and nomar and everybody knew that. and he just has been living in derek jeter's shadow for all of these years and i think it just kills him. >> john: if he did get to come back, one could presume a g.m. -- people will pay to see this guy. >> yeah, i don't know if it will be in new york. my guess, in my opinion, i would say that the yankees would probably try to negotiate a settlement with him rather than this three years and $61 million. >> john: what is the lifetime ban really about? and why would they leak it if it's not to try to shake him down, get him to cooperate and name anybody? >> i think that's bud selig's way of trying to have his last hurrah. he's the one who took a big hit in the '90s with mcgwire and sosa and the home run chase, not coming down harder on them and taking so long to implement the rules for testing and steroids and i think this is his last hurrah to try to seem like he's coming in with the calvary. >> john: it seems like baseball was our national past time then basketball was our national pa

the captain, derek jeter, back in the lineup. a-rod takes r.a. dickey out.t's 650 for his career. tied the game at 2-2. that was pretty much it. jays would score in the go ahead error by ichero. got to get it with the fingers, not the palm. blue jays win it 5-2. that loss an an a's victory drops the yankees 4 1/2 games behind oakland. >>> to football or the soap opera that is the new york jets. now new jersey governor chris christie weighing in on gang green quarterback controversy. >> the fans, too, have amnesia about this guy. >> because he was so bad last year. >> he was awful last year. by the way, he had no weapons to throw to, he had no receiving core, he had no running game and the offensive line was below average. what are you looking for from a guy. i think they've treated him awfully. it seems like they're determined, i think it's the new general manager is determined to play the guy that he drafted. >> pretty good analysis from the governor. spot on with everything, right, mike and bill? pretty phenomenal. >>> in other football news the nfl player

derek jeter on the field, up in toronto, nice diving play and throw from his knees but it wasn't prettyt night unfortunately. ugliness started earlier with a passed ball. two runs would score off of that. take a look at the diving catch. the blue jays will end up topping the yanks 7-2. they need to start winning if they want that wildcard. l.a. dodgers, the season may have hit a thump in the road. the rookie senation pulled from last night's game. after the game the knowleddodge manager who i love now, he did not comment on the specifics of the decision but he knows what he has to do to stay in the line-up although he has been a troublemaker for awhile now. l.a. shut out the cubs 4-0. detroit tiger's ace justin verlander using $1 million of his own money to launch a charitable venture called the wins and warriors initiative. it will support the wellbeing of veterans from iraq and afghanistan along with their families. verlander grew up in richmond and went to college at old dominion university and plays here in detroit. he'll join us live on morning joe a little later this morning. let'

derek jeter hosted a leadership conference for youth at uic this morning.perts talked about how to achieve academic excellence, develop skills as a leader, and remain drug and alchohol free. value lost by those players caught up in the boigenisis mess but hopefully not lost by the young people at todays conference. kids are our future. there will be the leaders of tomorrow and they will be our children when i have them one day. there is negativity in society but you want kids to leave here with a positive message and go back to the community and be positive role models within the communities and within the schools. the cubs in phillie for game two of the series and it was a bruiser...the game tied at 2-2 in the 7th...the phils bid for lead....cole gillespie makes a nice throw and chase utley tries to jar the ball losee from dioners navarro... a violent collision...utley is out but navarro had to leave the game...exrays on his ankle were negative..it was a scary moment it was still 2-2 when donnie murphy cranks out a three run shot in the top of the 9th...hi

. - a-rod and derek jeter.ing or what you think i ought to be thinking. i just want the truth. now, i got the game tickets back from martin, and i want you to go to the game with me. my question is, would you like to go? - no. - why not? - i don't want to go to the game. i never really wanted to go to the game. i just wanted you twant me to go to the game. i was being selfish. so go. have fun with martin. i'm sorry. - is this a set-up? i mean, no, are you trying to get me to lower my defenses and you can make it seem like it's all my fault and so i don't know what hit me? - i already did that. why do you think you got the tickets back? - we at lux 97 are so excited to finally have a winner. so all we need is your father to sign right here, and you're on your way to los angeles to see rihanna. - okay, so where do i sign? - right here. [laughs] you look familiar. where have i seen you before? - oh, um, my husband's a sports reporter for kawt. - kawt? uh-oh. - what's wrong? kawt is a sister station for lux 97. and

you tell me, do the guys at fox sports believe that is a-rod or derek jeter who has been out and hugely player here? let's not count out jeter. >> when jeter came back and saw a ratings boost hitting his first home run in his first at bat. they're in fourth place. they're struggling. both jeter and rodriguez were out entire first half of the season. now you have your star infield back. granted they're not youngest guys on the team. there is not much future beyond that there is star power. this is irony of it all, a-rod in the lineup with crowd booing and piqued interest and they will get record rating. >> let's not pile on a-rod. when brand new yankee stadium was redone, they told top dollar luxury suites, the yankees organization they were able to do that because of a-rod. he was very exciting player. top dollar for tickets. the yankees are considered the most valuable franchise when it comes in any sports team when it comes to mlb. what hit could the yankees hit down the road with a-rod not being there. >> i don't think they will take a hit at this point. his reputation is tarnished.

he is taller than derek jeter, but just 13.e world series, young pitchers faced off, holman dominating with 13 strikeouts. >> the coolest thing i've ever done. making headlines for his no hitter. >> i just feel like i am any other kid. just playing baseball. and everyone is asking for my autograph. >> reporter: on the field and in team photos they stick out like sore thumbs. the smaller kids even they're saying hey, he is a good player. >> part of it, realize they might be in social studies together. they're kids. kids especially at this age are competitors when they get in the spot like this. they're not going to give an inch regardless of the size on the mound. >> reporter: fierce competitors but still just kids. gio benitez. abc news, new york. >> i was on an all star team. won a few rounds, went to state championships. we played a team of men. our best hitter fouled off one of their balls. >> anybody else see this. >> crazy. >> i remember that stuff. this. >> i remember that stuff. that nasty odor coming from your washer. s

this guy is reviled, and one of the things that caused him much angst is he has been compared for derek jetero of them share the left side of the yankee infield. jeter is pristine. doesn't make any mistakes. carries himself well. alex rodriguez is hopelessly flawed. 'd rodriguez came out with his injury. now people are waiting for him to make a statement. tonight she shows and up plays. all anybody will be concern about what is your reaction. >> shepard: made $330 million. couldn't somebody talk him out of this? >> one of these guys -- some ceos are lining this. they don't listen. in this case he is a hopelessly flawed individual. ryan braun said, fine, i lost my image, i'm going to take a hike and come back. this guy goes right into the bus. it's amazing. >> shepard: there is anything he can do or say today or tonight to help himself? >> if he were my client i'd give him three words of advice. just shut up. let your lawyers talk, let major league baseball talk, fight it out in court, do your work, but get off the radar screen. he won't do it. >> shepard: i don't know how he could. he is -- r

he lived in one of my buildings, derek jeter likewise and many of the yankees and many of the players live in my buildings and i can tell you the ones that people like and the ones people don't like. if i say to the doorman, what do you think of derek? oh, we love derek. if i say what do you think of a-rod, it's, forget it. look, he deserves what he gets. he's been doing this for a long time and, frankly, i don't understand the yacnkees. the yankees should have stopped paying him two years ago. on the contract, what he signed was not what they were bargaining for. i don't understand why the yankees kept paying him, but maybe they're very generous. who knows. >> very random, should pete rose now be in the hall of fame? >> absolutely yes. you know, you look at some of this stuff and you see pete rose is the number one all-time leading hits leader in baseball, over 4,000 hits. he's paid a big price. absolutely. it's time to let pete rose in the hall of fame. by the way, virtually everybody agrees with me. pete rose should be in the hall of fame. >> donald, always nice to talk to you, tha

>> batting cleanup, playing third base for the new york yankees, who actually need him as derek jeterhe yankees might not want to pay his condition tractract, bud certainly use his bat. >> we'll see how he does. a lot of people i'm sure will be watching the game tonight. ben reiter from "sports illustrated." >>> still ahead, obama once declared that the u.s. had al qaeda on the run. does he regret those words right now? t the ball rolling. coca-cola is partnering with nashville parent and charlotte parent magazines, along with the mayors of those cities, in the fit family challenge. a community wide program that offers free classes that inspire families to get out, enjoy moving together, and even track their activity online. it's part of our goal to inspire more than three million people to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make... together. trust your instincts to make the call. to treat my low testosterone, my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most

. >> reporter: teammate derek jeter and the manager joe girardi spoke about the pending situation. >>aiting game for a lot of clubs and baseball players. it will happen soon enough. >> reporter: a-rod is the biggest superstar and highest paid among up to 20 players implicated in baseball's latest doping scandal. his lawyers said they would appeal any suspension. but with the prospect of a lifetime ban and accusations he recruited other players, lied about his drug use, and obstructed the league's investigations, a-rod's attorneys are negotiating a possible settlement reportedly that could result in a lengthy suspension. if that happens, some say the yankees may try to cut ties with a-rod forever. >> i don't see any way that the yankees are going to get out from their financial obligation to alex rodriguez, unless, of course, major league baseball suspends him forever. >> a lifetime ban may be a difficult penalty for the mlb to impose since a-rod has never been punished for steroid use. it is likely there will be an appeals process. aditi roy, abc, at yankees stadium in the bronx. >> t

well, i mean look at the yankee dugout and look down the row and you see a guy like derek jeter who reallys all about, did it the right way, showed loyalty to his team, loyalty to his teammates. this other guy is all about himself and i really hope that he goes away, that they throw the book at him, he never comes back. because he's a blythe on the game. >> he is a blight on the game, blight on the yankee organization. blight on baseball. let's turn to politics. charles krauthammer has tough words for the president this morning. love to get your reaction. he -- it's entitled "can obama write his own laws." this week charles writes, it was revealed the administration had unilaterally waived obama care's cap on patient's annual out of pocket expenses. a one-year exemption for selected health insurers that is nowhere permitted in the law. which follows a presidential directed 70 plus percent subsidy for insurance premiums paid by congressmen and their personal staff which came a month after the administration's equally lawless suspension of one of the cornerstones of obama care, the employer

. >> derek jeter the captain -- asked about the situation. this whole scandal going around with the performance enhancing drugs and the baseball system and a-rod is on the cover of every -- cover of papers. it's got to be distracting, it's got to be distracting. >> like that scandal you had on "snl" a few years back. >> i was on a lot of stuff during "snl." we don't want to talk about those years. yeah, they're awful. >> it's unfortunate. you know, listen, you late to hear a negative light being shed on major league baseball but it's been a part of the game. we're trying to get it out of the game. hopefully we don't have to hear about this for much longer. >> what do we do to get people to stop fooling around with these guys? >> i think they're doing it. guys are getting caught and they're paying the price for it. it's unfortunate part of society. everyone tries to get an edge. but you learn from your mistakes and move on. >> a guy shah that should run for office. he never says anything wrong. >> he's a media darling. not kissing himself in t

york, the standard is derek jeerts and so when alex rodriguez came in and didn't play well with derek jeter and started doing the cover shoots where he's taking his shirt off, it wasn't right for new york city and he didn't play within the yankees framework where they always say the franchise is bigger than the guy. >> when brian shactman did all those shirtless poses. >> i know. >> still getting "way too early." >> the ratings spiked. he was never a new york guy. >> i also put the '04 playoffs in the mix. not there in '03 and the '04 playoffs a-rod didn't hit in the last four games and the red sox came from 3-0 down to win the series. had he hit bronson arroyo and get the ball out of his glove -- i would put that in there too. >> no positive test. a chink in the armor, he never tested positive for steroids. there's no actual test. the union, they're not going to argue as long as they don't do that clause that got rose out of baseball. is that how it works some. >> first of all, baseball has so much information on a-rod it's ridiculous. 2010, 2011, 2012, a-rod on his blackberry making decis

once we're explayers, i don't care how good you are, unless you're derek jeter or michael jordan, you'reget yourself interested in business and doing something positive while you're playing so you can kind of cash in it. >> you mentioned responsibility and personal responsibility. i'd be remiss if we didn't ask you what so many yankees fans are talking about, which is a-rod, p.e.d.s, what is the sense on the team at this point in terms of his willingness to take personal responsibility? >> there's still a lot of confusion of what's going on, but it's really an unfortunate situation for all of us. it's very hard for me to be objective. alex is a teammate, a friend of mine. i played with alex for six years. tough for me to be objective, but at the same time, you can't cheat. that's pretty simple. >> still close to the red sox here, not that far. plenty of time. >> plenty of time. i think we're seven back of the wild card. one game a week. let's gain one game a week in the wild card and we'll be there. >> when does that come off your wrist? >> this comes off next week. i can't wait. >> mark
