Ronan Tynan won't be belting out "God Bless America'' during the seventh-inning stretch of tonight's Yanks-Angels playoff game at Yankee Stadium. When the news got out, the Yankees canceled tonight's scheduled appearance. And now Tynan is backpedaling as fast as his prosthetic legs will carry him. Said Tynan: "I'm not anti-Semitic. A lot of my friends are Jewish. . . . I was too stupid with my mouth.''

What's with the "backpedaling as fast as his prosthetic legs will carry him" comment. Seems a little "harsh" for a news story about an insensitive and/or "joke". Two wrongs make a right?!?!?!?!?
