For many years, former Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan could be heard singing "God Bless America" at New York Yankees games. But he was accused of making anti-Semitic remarks and left New York.

He ended up relocating to Boston and during a St. Patty's Day event in Beantown, Tynan sang "God Bless America".

Well during the Boston Red Sox's 6-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on July 4th, Tynan made his first Fenway Park appearance to sing the song and received a rousing ovation from the Fenway faithful when he was done.

Here's the video for you to enjoy:

Here's the second of three Dunkin Donuts commercials featuring players from the Boston Red Sox. This one features Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia.

The first one featured Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon. A third one will air later this summer that will feature both Pedroia and Papelbon.

And if you're interested in a Boston runs on Dustin t-shirt, head over to our Bloguin brother, The Bottom Line, to purchase one.

Let's not disappoint Boston Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis Red Sox Nation. He really needs our help to get the 2010 MLB All-Star Game in Anaheim, CA on July 13th.

Youk was named one of the 5 final vote candidates and the only way he's getting to Anaheim for the 2010 MLB All-Star Game is to win the vote.

And since we didn't vote any starters into the game, it's only right that we garner enough votes for Youk to enjoy the festivities with his six teammates that were named to the AL reserves.

So please head over to MLB.com and vote as many times as you can for Youkilis. And after you vote, be sure to spread the word around Facebook and Twitter.

For the first time since 1998, the Boston Red Sox didn't have a starter voted into the All-Star Game. But they will be represented by six players when the 2010 MLB All-Star Game is played in Anaheim, CA at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on July 13, 2010.

Dustin Pedroia (3rd), Victor Martinez (4th), David Ortiz (6th), Jon Lester (1st), Clay Buchholz (1st) and Adrian Beltre (1st) were all named to the 2010 American League All-Star reserves. All six members of the Red Sox were voted in by the players.

Pedroia and VMart will not participate in the game as they are on the disabled list. It's likely that Buchholz won't pitch in the game either as he may be placed on the disabled list with a bad hamstring.

One more member of the Red Sox has a chance to join the festivities in Anaheim. First baseman Kevin Youkilis was named one of the five final vote participants. He'll need our help to get there so please vote 25 times for him.

A look at the final vote candidates after the jump.

But we've missed on some news over the past few days including today's 2010 MLB All-Star teams, Kevin Youkilis in the final vote, the Red Sox taking two-of-three from the Baltimore Orioles and so on and so forth.

So bear with me as I do a little catchup on the site here.

And for the record, the next vacation is scheduled for July 23-25.

In his first fight just under a year after battling various illnesses, UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar retained his belt as he beat interim UFC heavyweight champion Shane Carwin by submission (arm triangle choke) at 3:52 of the second round during UFC 116 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

This was the first time Carwin had gone to the second round and he almost didn't have to go there except Lesnar was able to withstand the beatdown that Carwin gave him in the first round.

Lesnar's next fight will come against Cain Velazquez at a time and place to be determined. Lesnar also earned the submission of the night from UFC president Dana White for this fight.
