Fan Ejected From Yankee Stadium For Bathroom Break During 'God Bless America' The no movement rule has been in place since 9/11, much like the playing of the song.

Enough is enough with this God Bless America. I see people not putting their hands over their hearts for the national anthem but doing it for God Bless America. Don't get me wrong here, its a nice song but thats all it is. It's not our national anthem and does not deserve the same respect. If we give it the same respect as the national anthem then maybe we should do the same for "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". It's just another mistake by the NYPD. Thankfully it happened to a Yankee Fan and not a Boston fan. Only 79 years until the Yankees win it again!

LPGA Tour will suspend memberships if players don't learn English The LPGA will require its member golfers to learn and speak English and will suspend their membership if they don't comply.

Though it would be nice for everybody to know english, this is a free country and freedom of speech is one of our many God-given rights. We as Americans should be the ones learning other languages instead of being too stubborn to learn anything but english. You will get much further by learning another language and if you don't want to learn another language, respect those who do. On the other hand though if this rule is allowed, then I doubt that it would affect many people because in most countries where english is not the first or official language, many if not most of the people know english or some other language other then there first. It would be wrong and a humiliation to the LPGA if this rule is put into action so just let them all play.

When is enough "enough"? Hoping to put a definitive end to a simmering controversy, China was asked to provide additional documents that prove that five of the six team members were old enough to compete at these games. Although they had already provided these documents several times before, due to a website claim that the Chinese gymnasts were underage, the inquiry persists. Sour grapes for the Americans? Many international commentators think so.

I for one do believe that there were at least two or three girls that are underage. It is a fact though that on average the height of the Chinese team was shorter than that of the US team but event with this in mind they still looked too young. You could tell just by the way there faces look and from the news reports that I have seen and heard there is a good amount of information to say that these girls are too young. Unless the Chinese government can provide more records on there age other than a passport that of which they have complete control over on the information in it, they should be stripped of there medals because if the US did anything like this we would never here the end of it.

Rays Walk Hamilton Intentionally with Bases Loaded The Tampa Bay Rays made history Sunday night, walking Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers on purpose with the bases loaded so they could face Marlon Byrd, who struck out to cement a 7-4 Rays win. The intentional walk was the first time in 107 years that an American League player was walked intentionally with the bases full and only the fifth overall since 1900. "You don't pitch to Superman when you have Wonder Woman on deck," said Rays closer Troy Percival.

Can they do this more often at least for the next five games so that the Red Sox can take first?

Baseball Hall of Famer YAZ hospitalized BOSTON - Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, the last player to hit for the Triple Crown, was hospitalized for tests Tuesday after experiencing chest pains. The popular Yaz was an 18-time All-Star and spent his entire career in Boston, taking over left field for Ted Williams in 1961 and playing through 1983.

I am a very big Red Sox fan and I don't like seeing a legend, or anybody for that matter, have to go through this. From what I've read Yaz is doing well. A thing like this can really bring you down to earth and cause you to realize that no one, not even a great, such as Carl Yastrzemski, is immortal. I will pray for a quick and speedy recovery and another 69 years of life. Get well soon Yaz and happy birthday.

Dara Torres, 41, qualifies for Olympics, rewrites swimming records. Dara Torres qualified for her fifth Olympics, 24 years after her debut in 1984. At 41, two years after having a child, she's still kicking ass and breaking records. Torres swears by resistance stretching and has volunteered for drug tests amid allegations of steroid use. Awesome pic (holy six-pack, Batman!) and more detail about Torres at kottke.org (where I first learned of Dara), plus even more detail at NYT and Wikipedia.

The Voting Results Are In The fan and player voting has been completed and the All Star rosters have been announced. There is still the Final Vote where fans have the opportunity to choose one final All Star. As usual the results do not come without controversy, with numerous experts weighing in. The team by team breakdown of the All Star rosters can be found here.

I am very happy to see that there will be 7 Red Sox present at the game and 4 will be starting plus Terry Francona is our manager. Red Sox Nation will be well represented by not only players but also fans at Yankees Stadium's last All-Star Game. The infeild would be even better if the starting players at 3rd Base and Shortstop weren't Yankee players. Overall I think the choices were good even though there were a couple of players missing that I would have liked to have seen started. Hopefully the AL will win so that when the Red Sox go to the World Series again we get homefield advantage which will led to another title and next year Terry will be back.

So much for the completion of the perfect season. I'm just hoping to make the playoffs. I kind of feel like we're the underdogs now with a QB who hasn't started a game since 1999 when he was in high school. Hopefully he will recover quickly and we can expect to see him next year.
