reacting to the 13 suspensions, mark mcgwire, a prominent baseballer from the '90s steroid era saying just really hope and pray that this is the end of it. everybody, especially the players, don't want any more part of it. and i hope this is the end of it. i wish i was never part of it. >>> 15, 14 plus another. the dodgers unstoppable on the road. latest to fall, the st. louis cardinals, 3-2. puig bare handing a hit off the wall, showing how easy it is. nice. >>> new york jets coach rex ryan wants fans to be nice. speaking of which, after quarterback mark sanchez was booed for throwing an interception at a recent scrimmage. he wants a little tlc for the former usc trojan. >>> at the x games megan rutledge on the last jump before the checkered flag. what does she do? fist pumps. she assumes victory and, no, almost over the bars. nope, sorry. and after the lorks she was in tears. what's the lesson? do not shake fists while in the air. talking about air, 5'10", grabbed the ball from blake griffin. over his shoulders. two points there. he did it three different times. short guys can jump.

mark mcgwire. human growth hormone is not a steroid. it is produced in the body.he difference? why is -- you have elderly people taking human growth hormone to have a few more years of sort of spry life and have you people who have this same substance inside this that too little of it allegedly causes dwarfism, too much of it you get -- >> you get 7'5", 500 pounds. >> why is it that major league baseball is so obsessed with this particular substance? >> it is either against the rules or not against the rules. hgh, the difference between hgh and steroids is that hgh is tougher to test for. blood testing which the players association will not accept and the urine testing for regular steroids is what the players association will accept. the thing is, nothing that baseball has done -- i've been very supportive of baseball throughout this entire process but nothing that they have done so far has prevented the pitchi? why is the pitching worse? because there are more teams or less pitchers are using p.e.d.s. today in major league baseballs you'll come back to the indivi

. >> mark mcgwire, he said especially the players don't want any more part of it and i hope this is theof it and werb i was never part of it. >> this is not the end of steroids and p.e.d.s in baseball, but might it be a turning point that we are seeing? >> yeah, it's a seat change in the mcgwire and sossa era, nobody wanted to talk about steroids. now, in club houses around the country, we are seeing players speak out saying we don't want cheaters in our game, and we don't want to be competing against them for jobs and i think that change more than almost any other will shift the way not only the public but younger players coming up see the game and see that they should take the performance enhancing drugs, and there will always be people that want to cheat. >> we are not talking about cheating in the game, and we are talking about life problems here, and we are talking about tiger woods. you spoke to tiger woods this week. he is coming off of his 79th pga tour win last week, and how is his comeback going and how are fans treating him on the course? >> reporter: fans here love him becau

>> the same thing that happened to mark mcgwire.wire will not go down as hitting the most homeruns in a year. do you think mark mcgwire should have 70 the september 2 -- the 72 home runs? >> this is bud selig's fault. after the strike no one wanted to watch baseball and he let them juice and they were firing them out of the stadium. >> how was that swing again? >> i am a terrible baseball player. he let this go on because people were interested in the game and you had the greats hitting it out of the park. he loved it. he didn't do anything about it. he allowed the a-rod press conference to go on and now we have to believe she serious? >> you know whose fault this is? president barack obama. this is his way of underminding the american pastime with the assistance of oprah winfrey. >> that's exactly right. can i just say one thing about a-rod? he is still a phenomenal baseball player. >> and a great kisser. >> one of the best to play the game. >> phenomenal though? >> he is a phenomenal baseball player. >> if i was juicing i would be

shot that hugs the right field line, five homers in five days, an athletic feat only achieved by mark mcgwire. toronto with the 5-4 win. these days it's about praying for pride for the giants. they have a little less than two months to at least show a semblance of the a.m. that wop last year's world series. baltimore orioles scratch one out against chad gaudin and the giants batted in theth, marco scutaro with a single off chin. that stores torres. crooked number inning, not a giant's strong suit this year, but they managed to put one together. hunter pepsi came to the plate with two how abouts and based loaded. pence goes to 2nd with the two-run double. the giants get 3 in the inning for the 3-1 the lead. it stayed that way until the 8th, other's chris davis haserned the attention of the entire league with his power hitting this year. davis gets hold of a casilla pitch, and 3-2 game, the orioles proceeded to put runners at 1 and 3rd

. >> say it happened to mark mcgwire. do you think he should have kept those 72 home runs? is bud selig's fault. he after the strike, no one wanted to watch baseball, he let them all juice, they were all firing them out of the stadium. i am a terrible baseball player, but he let this go on because people were interested in the game. you had all of them hitting it out of the park, he loved it, didn't do anything about it. allowed that a-rod press conference to go on, now we're supposed to believe he is serious? >> you know whose real fault it is? president obama! this is his way of undermining the american past time with the assistance of oprah winfrey. >> that's exactly right. can i say one thing about a-rod, he is still a phenomenal baseball player. >> phenomenal. >> and great kisser. >> one of the best baseball players to play. >> he has been playing all right. phenomenal? >> yeah. >> if i was juicing, i would be phenomenal, too. >> the yankees want their title back. >> new rules in baseball this year? challenges. they're going to have -- >> how annoying, they'll be like

. >>> former cardinals slugger mark mcgwire was asked about this, this week, now a hitting coach. he told espn, everybody, especially the players, don't want any more part of it. i hope this is the end of it. i wish i was never part of it. rachel, obviously, this is not the end of steroids and peds in baseball, might it be a sort of turning point that we're seeing? >> yeah. i think this is the most interesting part about this story, john. this is really a sea change. in the mcgwire sosa era, you saw those teammates perform a pro-techtv nook around those players and nobody wanted to talk about steroids. now in clubhouses around the country, we are seeing players speak out saying we don't want cheaters in our game or competing against them for jobs. i think that change will not only shift the public and younger players decide whether or not to take performance enhancing drugs. we will always see people who try to cheat but could see the percentages change. >> you're at a golf course following a superstar who battled back from controversy, very different controversy, not cheating in

. >> mark mcgwire. >> and sammy sosa. >> that's right. >> when you ha an epidemic of cheating and lying, too. because lying goes along with cheating. you just can't cheat because you have to deny you cheated and that's a lie. so lying and cheating are twins. and i think we have an epidemic of that in america right now. i really do. i talk to court officers and they say the oath that people take to swear to tell the whole truth and is a joke. everybody knows it's a joke. very few perjury cases taken in because now the court believes nothing. they are not telling the truth. the lawyers lie, everybody lies. we are living in a culture now that is so full of lying and cheating that i think it's eroding america's power, social fabric. >> i think you are right. i think the reason in the case of baseball that alex rodriguez is public enemy number one isn't simply that he cheated. but that he lied. i mean, he looked leslie stall in the eye several years ago and said i'm not using performance enhancing drugs and i never did. and he was. then he said he wasn't going to do it anymore and now baseba

el caso mÁs sonado en ese momento fue el del beisbolista mark mcgwire quien despuÉs de lograr un rÉcordantos latinos o latinoamericanos estÁn acusados de dopaje, de usar esteroides, de usar estimulantes en las grandes ligas? ¿quÉ pasa? >> bueno, nos han acusado mayormente, eso es lo que hemos encontrado, hay personas que se puede sospechar de ellos, pero el proceso el cual se usa, en la mayorÍa del bÉisbol, no es como la gente se cree, cuando ya una acusaciÓn sale al aire es porque tenÍa tiempo. >> tenÍan evidencias, claro. >> sÍ, tenian evidencias sustanciales y de fuentes seguras para enfrentar al jugador donde se van a enfrentar tambiÉn a la asociaciÓn que salen su defensa, y es cuando lo hemos podido ver. >> ¿por quÉ tantos latinos? o sea, de estos, 9 son dominicanos, tÚ eres dominicano. ¿por quÉ en dominicana existe esta cultura en que se permite el uso de, de dopaje o de hormona? >> no, no, en realidad no se permite, es igual que en cualquier otro paÍs, no se permite, lo que pasa es que, como han declarado varias personas ya en la prensa, el latino es un tipo de jugador diferente,

it seemed during sammy sosa, mark mcgwire chase of the home run record, everybody -- it was open talke all on performance-enhancing drugs. that must have hurt you. >> it really did. it really hurt me. and these kids today, candy, i'm like a father to them. i knew alex rodriguez many years ago when he first came here. he broke my record for home runs in texas. >> do you think that's fair? if he was using performance-enhancing drugs? is it fair that he broke your record? was that a fair fight? >> well, my thing is we don't know. i don't know about the testing and all that. you know, he was accused of it, but i don't know what he was tested and proven that he was on anything. but i like him. he's like a son to me. most all of these kids, i really, really like them, enjoyed them. i know about their families, i know about their children. >> i want to ask you about the statistics. ken, i'm going to ask you the same question after i get mr. banks to talk about it. raymond daniel burke wrote in the "baltimore sun" talking about the statistics over time your records versus those of alex rodrig

somewhere mark mcgwire is laughing at those chances. but a-rod's now among nine players who are about to face severe penalties for use of performance-enhancing drugs or peds. rodriguez is the highest paid player in baseball and easily the most famous linked to the doping scandals. he got his peds from an anti-aging clinic in florida called biogenesis is of america. since then, he's accused of recruiting other athlete to the clinic and lying about it and trying to destroy evidence. you know, guy stuff. lawyers for rodriguez said they would fight any lifetime ban, then he could possibly return to play. while the appeals process is taking hold. so the question is what impact will all of this have on what used to be america's past time? well, nadia is the founder and host of caught offbase with nadia.com. a show chock-full of great interviews with nadia and various athlete and celebrity the and even a lot of my guys on the new york mets. >> thank you for having me. >> john: great to have you here. we just saw ryan braun of the milwaukee bri

due respect to bud selig and the owner, baseball profited during the years of barry bonds and mark mcgwire and seam sosa. >> but they cheated. >> absolutely they cheated. but everyone made money off of that will era. it started to become an issue when congress got involved, when tom verducci put out an article in "sports illustrated," and the record books were obliterated. >> let me go 0 back to bob night night ten gail for another view. remember the motto, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. >> yeah, i mean, baseball was very upset. last year bartolo cologne got popped for testosterone. so did melky cabrera. both got raises. we'll see what happens with this class. nelson cruz of the texas rangers. jhonny peralta of the detroit tigers, it will be very interesting to see if they get a bigger salary next year than they do this year. >> you know, in fact, the quiet, all-burning question about pete rose who played for philly for a while. he's obviously a cincinnati guy. but the old question, how do you balance out great performance against breaking the rules. where do the fans stand o

as mark mcgwire and sammy sosa were breaking home run records, you had people coming into the standsand baseball basically ignored the problem until it blew up in their face. fifteen years later, baseball has recovered. they're making a lot of money again, but the tide of public opinion has turned, and people no longer want cheaters, if you will, on their team. so baseball and the union have taken a different approach, and they want these people out of the game. they see these cheaters as a financial problem for them whereas 15 years ago they did not. cheryl: you know, the team might, charles, but if you look at what happened ryan braun of milwaukee, he was suspended, his jersey sales actually went up after his suspension. i know what you're saying that maybe kids need new role models, that was before. >> yeah. and you're right, you know, it's so funny. some people say baseball should have no rules. in other words, what's wrong with these giant, you know, steroid era when there's 80 home runs? people love the home runs. but i think the point is that baseball has overcome these sort o

steroid era of baseball, which by the way, of course, we know never really ended, but the whole mark mcgwiremcy sosa air ya, we saw players close ranks around guys accused of using steroids. hey, hey, don't bother us about this. now clubhouse after clubhouse, we listened to players saying get them. go get the guys who were cheating. we don't want them in the game. that is a huge change and that is going to affect the penalty going forward. i think you're going to only see them get tougher. >> as soon as we get the news, obviously we'll bring you back up and to players to talk about what everyone is talking about today, a-rod and this news that we're awaiting. jason carroll, rachel nichols, thank you both very much. >>> let me move on for now and tell that you the united states government is closed for business across much of the mideast and africa today. this is the terrorist threat. we talked about this on friday. apparently based upon an intercepted message from within the ranks of al qaeda. but take a look with me. take a look at egypt. here it is. american flag is flying. but the u.s. em
