and every park he ever plays in. he will have to live with that, and that s hard to do. he seems to have that turtle shell and he can draw himself in and be unaffected by steve: a bunch of players got big suspensions yesterday but mr. a-rod is the only one who is fighting it. andrew: there they are right there. a lot of those guys, if kilmeade were here and could point to all of them, are superstars gone for 50 games. some may be back in time for the playoffs if their teams are in the playoffs. gretchen: a suspected u.s. drone strike in yemen leaving four suspected al qaeda militants dead. officials say the drones fired at a car bomb inside killing them. this comes as the state department issued a warning to all americans to leave yemen immediately. police are considering whether to file charges against the owner of a snake that killed two young boys. the five- and
