me, pete rose, johnny bench, those guys, willy sargele, just getting an opportunity to face nolan ryan in the all-star game, and tommy john. i got my first all star hit off of tommy john. so there's nothing like it, recan, and you deserve it, buddy. put together a great year, and will be a big part of this organization for a long, long time. >> look at the numbers that he has through the ball game. now, through 80 games, projected for the full season to hit .293. going to have 26 homers, 95 rbis. 45 doubles. that's a pretty good season right there for ryan. >> it's a good year for him, johnny, but he was sit hitting so well, he was having a career year. those numbers you see projected are similar to the numbers he had his two best years. he hit 20 home runs his first year with 47 doubles and 110 rbis, and then hit 24 home runs the next year, so he's just in that deal where his bubble gum card is, and he got off to a great start. still going to put up big numbers, but these are superstar is type numbers. >> debbie taylor has a member of the all-star team with her, ryan zimmerman. deb? i

nolan ryan will try to come in. he is -- well, that is what you call out by mile.the lead. billy butter, cats, five for five on the night -- billy butler, five for five on the night. that helped the royals beat the birds. >>> michael vick is back in the nfl now he just needs a team. the commissioner has reinstated vick. he is free after certaining 18 months in prison. he can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and play in the games. one the season begins, vick may take part in all team activities except games and goodell says he would consider vick for full reinstatement by week six at the latest >> i do believe that this transitional approach that we've outlined for michael is the best thing for him, that it will have the best opportunity to lead if a success for young man who has his life ahead of him whether he make it on the field for the nfl is something that will be determined on the field. but he has some big decisions off the field to make n the way he conducts himself. >> in a statement released by his agent, vick said i ful

. >> gary: which could mean i think nolan ryan's name is going to come up first and foremost if tomorrow to have to sell that ball club. ryan you figure is down there running the team as their gm, might, if anybody can put a group together to do it, it would be him, and there have been some talk that he was interested in doing that anyway, so we'll see, but texas, apparently, financially, at least their owner, in trouble. the walk surrendered. that's the second one given up the the inning. jones down at second base get this first one, and now aubrey huff picks up the second one. hose down at first. noel be reimold with with on. he has struck out and flied out in the ball game. orioles with a chance here to start shutting the door in this game to some degree with a 6-1 lead they have already. reimold has had his chances in the game. he struck out with the bases loaded in the first inning. breaking ball will be taken down low. he came up, drew a walk in the third inning, after the huff home run, and now gets a shot with two on, and two down. >> jim: and this is part of the endocktry nation

david delucci doubles over ryan nolan's head. aaron hill robbed by melvin mora.t night's hero ends the rally with a brilliant play. then the o's punt it away in the bottom half, roberts going the -- put it away in the bottom half, roberts going the other way for an r.b.i. single. the orioles win 4-2. berg sen continues to impress. >> i think he has established himself as a real nice story in the american league this year as a starter pitcher. it seems like any time he pitches he gives us a chance to win and it was no different today. >> i think we have shown a lot of good signs the last couple series and i think that's great for us to win our last two series going into the all-star break. >> now while the orioles, most of them, get a few days away from baseball adam jones does not. he is headed to his first big league all-star weekend. jones said the guy he's most looking forward to sharing a clubhouse with is derek jeter mainly because he's been the face of baseball for the better part of a decade. jones is hitting .303 on the season with 12 homers, although he

>> mariah carey looks like nolan ryan. >> we mentioned it earlier, president george w. york. this is not it. you'll have to take my word for it. yeah. this is not it. well, here he is throwing one out anyway. >> he can throw. in 2001 if you just imagine with me for a moment, he threw -- >> not quite as dramatic as the pitch that he threw in the world series. as ground zero of smoldering but nice try. >> this was at a meeting with texas rangers. i don't know what you're talking about. he throws a nice first pitch. that's all we'll say about president obama. we'll let people judge for themselves. >> our president carries himself well out there. >> obama? >> he got cheers, mainly cheers. >> he did a great job. he went up in the booth and he clearly knows baseball. >> by the way, i understand in some cities it's worse than others like in philadelphia they boo santa claus. seriously, whether it's a republican president or a democratic president, cheer the president. don't b oo o him at these events. >> no. you don't do it. anything else? >> he got a great reception last nigh

you face nolan ryan.ed maybe a one-hit shutout throughout eight innings and didn't have hear best stuff. that's what pitching is all about. you have to recognize you have get stuff other than the breaking ball that you can rely on and sometimes it is even changing speeds with the fastball. sometimes you just throw a 2-0 vp fastball. sometimes you throw a bad 2-0 hanging curveball. and the guy will pop it up. but you don't have to always throw the strike or perfect outpitch when you're out there at the major league level. i think it was too much credit given especially to gonzalez tonight. he walked twice. the guy is hitting a buck 88. you got to go right at him. don't put this guy on base. too fast. steals second base. at the end of the ballgame you end up losing that way. >> nats had a horrible night with runners in scoring position. overall hitting one for nine in crucial situations. so i don't think there is any department of this ball club that doesn't share blame. the offense, the defense and the pit

not exactly a nolan ryan fast ball, but the president still performed a lot better than other big names home plate by about 30 feet. the youtube video that's gotten 30,000 hits. there it is. >> at some point during your throw you're supposed to let go of the ball. >> he just didn't want to let it go. there you go. jacqui jeras following the weather for us. it wasn't bad, huh? it was a little high but -- it was high, but hey, he made it. >> could have had a little more oomph. the weather for the all-star game, we could be seeing thunderstorms in there. they've rumbled through the st. louis area this morning. you see more development back here. something we'll be watching. we had a lot of severe weather yesterday across parts of minnesota. you have pictures from spicer, minnesota, green lake area. a tornado ripped through there. there you see the damage it did to a house. it also brought a lot of docks and piers down and caused damage in the lake area. all that's left here is the boat that continues to stay there. the severe weather threat then today, will stretch further east of there fr

i don't see that nolan ryan kind of stuff out there on the mound too, but a lot of pitches are good ande jason berken who will learn all of a sudden they get a feel for it and they're able to duplicate that five, six, seven aits eight starts in a row. i think we've got to give this kid a chance down the road. >> the one thing if anything to this point, he's showing the ability to adjust and that's what you've got to have. you have to learn that you need to adjust and then have the ability to go out and do it. kansas city wins it 4-3 in 11 tough loss for the series. elsewhere in the american league tonight, elsewhere in baseball, tampa bay over the yankees 6-2. so, tampa bay bounces back after losing last night to new york. they're in the 10th inning, oakland and boston tied at 7-7. papelbon blew a save as oakland got third in the inning. mariners with a 1-0 lead on toronto. texas at home beats detroit 7- 3. rangers back-to-back wins overt tigers. minnesota in the ninth leads chicago. in that game, mark buehrle who pitched a perfect game in his last start set a major league record by ret

some of these guys like nolan ryan -- >> bob: it is late in the ballgame. >> rob: and late in the ballgame> bob: did you get any hit ? >> rob: three hits and a couple of ribbies. i went oh-fer 20 for a couple of years. it was a hell of a drought. i hit .100 one year and .500. way to end your career, on a high note. >> bob: yes. your went out on your terms! [ laughter ] >> rob: no, my batting average was as high as my e.r.a. so i had to get out. >> bob: two balls and two strikes. detwiler is taking a boarder line pitch to the count. de la rosa, 21 pitches and 12 strikes his first two innings. and he puts it in play and charging is clint barmes and two outs. top of the order now, nyjer morgan. he's going to hang around in the on-deck circle for a while and give his pitcher time to get off the field in -- on this warm day. >> rob: and go sit din and get a little bit of a drink. >> bob: some will tell you they'll take a pitch or two, and you have to have a lead-off guy who is comfortable hitting with two strike ins the count to be able to give his pitcher a little bit of a breather here. some

ryan with the throw and nolan reimold tries to score. the o's beat them. >>> another dominating performance from burnett. he mowed down the rayed in florida tonight. burnett threw seven innings, just two hits in fielder's position. on the ball back to him. gets the play. the yankees win. won 10-11 since the all-star break. >>> the new york daily news reports that bud selig may review the lifetime ban on pete rose. hall of famer hank aaron says he thinks rose belongs in the hall. it's believes the commissioner will consider a pardon. but faye vincent says that scenario is unlikely. very controversial subject. >> you'll be on the radio tomorrow morning. >> that and football, yes. >>> homeward bound. ♪ ♪ tell me who's watching.

justin upton, alex gordon, jeff clement, ryan zimmerman of the nationals, braun, then romero. garrett olson was traded for felix pie, then nolanold in the second round and david hernandez in e 16th round. all of those players in the 2005 draft and ricky romero went number six overall. so the have brandon snyder on the verge, we don't know when, but he certainly is making them notice. here's a high chopper back to the mound. and out by a step. so a three up three down inning.   >> jim p.: nice play by scott to rob wells, then the orioles would take an early lead. then luke scott, 18th home run. 8th against lefties. the jays would come back in the fifth. scutaro with a double. then the scores on the aaron hill single. so there you go. pitching dual of sorts. rich hill out here for the sixth inning. good to see that even though a little bit of a struggle in the fifth as they score the two runs. >> jim h.: scott rolen fouls it back. >> jim p.: what happens when your windup gets a little out of kilter, your arm drops. the warmups down a little bit. let's see if that will translate into anything. it's fun
