he guns out soto at home base. bob: livan hernandez, 9 pitches, 8 strikes in the 1st inning. he faces aramis ramirez, who he's had a problem with over his career. >> rob: it's ironic, 20 years ago, the all-star game, darryl strawberry caught a pitch at home plate and threw a guy out. i used to love playing here. not night games though. not night games in april. there was a lady down by our bullpen who would bring us brow brownies. i think that was to make us fat and sick. we weren't going to say no. >> bob: ramirez is .379 career against livan. he's off to a miserable start. 11-76 this year. talk about an expensive middle of the lineup. from fukudome threw lee, byrd, ramirez, and soriano. those guys, making lots and lots and lots of money here in chicago. >> rob: you can't say the cubs' former ownership and management didn't try to get players in here and win. they brought in lou pinella, won the division. the cardinals took it back. just a question of the right talent, mixing it all together. it's not that easy. >

we just saw giovanni soto and he went through this last year when coghlan was getting off and becomingookie of the year, soto was having a hung your struggling because all of the pitchers recognize your talent. they know the kill skills and basically saying we're going to throw you a ton of breaking ball and expand your own. >> one of the things we talked about with ian desmond in an interview tomorrow coming up last october and hitting very well and suddenly everybody has the book on you. >> you're heavily scouted, even more so then ever before every team has advanced scouts. ebb team has a scout in the building. we're a good pitch right there. olsen had him 0-2. lost him with the marlins' most dangerous pitcher coming up hanley ramirez. the nationals are top six in the national league in defense. desmond and kennedy up in the middle. willingham and bernardino and then pudge rodriquez, of course, behind the plate. hanley ramirez, a couple of home runs, seven rbis so far. he hit .342 to win the batting championship last year. and i bet you folks have no idea how long it's been since th

as a child, he was diagnosed with something known as soto's syndrome. >> it's an overgrowth syndrome, and it affects their whole body. >> reporter: as a young boy, sean looked different than the other kids, and being different made him an easy target for bullies. but as he grew older, he found a way to escape them by making videos and posting them on youtube. >> it's the best thing that's ever happened to me besides high school. and it's like a way for me to be welcome in the world. >> reporter: but hackers changed all that when someone took over sean's youtube identity. >> it was like you were looking at someone pretending to be you. >> he had tons of videos, and the guy renamed all of them horrible, horrible, ugly things. >> reporter: it took some time, but youtube eventually took down the awful images that the hackers posted. sean and his mom are still upset, though. so they've taken their case to the local sheriff's department and even contacted the fbi. >> whoever you are who did this, please don't do it again. >> they need to be accounted, prosecuted, something. this is unaccept

because if you look at justice suitor and justice sotheby's -- soto mayor pretty much a wash is the bestguess. that someone as liberal as justice stevens is perceived will be nominated and confirmed. >> lehrer: do you agree that president obama could to the get away as nominating someone as liberal as john paul stevens. >> on the one hand stevens is pretty liberal by our terms these days and i think he also moved to the left a little as we heard earlier. but so on the other hand, the activist groups in the democratic party want somebody just as lib at least as stefsence. and on the other hand it is an election year and obama is already if trouble in the middle. because he and all the moderates who are going to be running in states like indiana and ohio, do they really want a big ideaological fight. so he's got these ta forces, one that says no, let's pick a fight, get a liberal. another saying no, get a moderate, somebody you can get confirmed. i think if i was sitting in the obama white house, we would say hey, we're going it to lose 6, 8 senators, we'll fever get another shot to nomina

current kind of liberal block of the court where we are talking about justice ginsburg, justice brier, sotomyers to are the last three appointees so they are the most junior members. they really look up to him i think as someone who is a real leader. >> how will he be missed mostly? >> you know, i think it is actually going to be inside baseball. i think one of the real serious ways in which he will be missed is a-- crossing, this is the process where the court decides which cases it is going to accept and justice stevens, he and justice alito are the only two justices who are not part of a pool where all the clerks for the other justices are in the pool decide or they write memos for each of the cases that where people are applying to get their cases heard at the court. and justice stevens and justice alito are the only justices who read, chambers read each of the pitches himself. one of the things that does is it gives you an independent mind about each of the petitions. i actually think you know even apart from his jurisprudence which i think is something that is going to be missed in th

last year because he doesn't have a filibuster-proof majority in the senate like he did with justice soto myior. you have covered this, you know how ugly it could get. megyn: depending upon the nominee. thank you very much, shannon. >>> breg news on the fate of the oil rig burning off the louisiana coast and the fate of a dozen missing rig workers. remember this, conflicting reports about the status of these folks. we're going to update you. >>> and what happens when you flip on a buzz saw, but the blade is not attached to the motor? wow! that's what happens. the unexpected, and dramatic extreme makeover home edition, next. megyn: welcome back, folks, quick look at the stories we're watching for you. we are awaiting a news conference from the coast guard on the search for 12 workers who went missing after an explosion at an oil rig in the gulf of mexico. there was an earlier report the workers had been found, but the coast guard now says that it cannot confirm that report. so we'll be waiting anxiously for that update. >>> meantime, planes are flying into all of europe's main airports tod

republicans put up largely symbolic resistance, knowing from the outside as analysts believe that then-judge soto maiior possessed a solid record, and she would likely be confirmed so she was. it comes down to the nature of the nominee whose name we don't know yet and also the political capital in both the president and the members of the senate wish to expend on this. megyn: interesting, what a day in washington. justice john paul stevens announcing his retirement after nearly 40 years in the nation's high court. james rosen, thank you. >>> air force one just returned to washington moments ago as the president comes home with a new treaty and a new policy for using nuclear weapons. a policy that restricts just when and where a nuclear response might be ordered. new polls just out from scott rasmussen showing 55 percent of americans disagree with the new policy, meaning the idea of limiting america's use of nuclear weapons, 25 percent say they support the policy, 20 percent, undecided. you can count former vice presidential candidate sarah palin along with those who do not like the plan for nukes

soto is catching, and tom gorzelanny on the mound. nats xtra pregame here on masn. to have you with us for game two of the three-game set with the cubs in chicago. steven strasburg, starting tonight for the nationals in redding. kind of a cold night. let's go up there. >> we're through three innings here in redding. strasburg has hit 96 on the fastball so far on the speed gun. he looked pretty good so far. it's about 50 degrees here. it is scoreless. strasburg off to an excellent start. >> well, here's at latest on what's taking place. strasburg, e.r.a. 0.2, 7 hits, three walks. >> this is not the last game he's going pitch down here. i think it's the next to last game. he's way too good for that league. you know, send him up to triple- a. he's dominating like they hoped he would. he's not walking anybody. tonight, a no-hitter. six strikeouts. reward the man. take him to the next level. >> talking about triple-a. bush bernadena gets the honors. syracuse is in 1st place in the league with a record of 5-2. here's a guy who last year had to be put on the shelf after he

special meaning to the court to the american society in general and to me personally because sonia sotoyor on the south runs that i represent, the area that i grew up in and her parents that were born in the same island of puerto rico that i was born in. so of course it was a special time to see her become part of the very honorable court. this morning we gather to hear about the fiscal year 2011 budget request in court. we have the distinct honor of being joined by two distinguished justices of the supreme court regarding the appropriations request for the upcoming fiscal year. as we do so at a time of the court longest-serving member, justice john paul stevens has recently announced that he will retire as the core finishes the work for the summer. i know that i speak for every member of this committee when i ask the justices here today to pass along the subcommittee's appreciation and thanks to justice stephens for his decades of service to our country. these annual hearings are aware an important opportunity for two branches of to interact. congress, of course, have a constitutional
