ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — WBC lightweight champion David Diaz refused to let Erik Morales make history at his expense, denying his bid to become the first Mexican to win world titles in four weight classes with a thrilling unanimous decision on Saturday night. Morales, an almost certain Hall of Famer, then announced his retirement before the decision was announced. “This is it,” he said. “I’m not going to fight anymore. I’ve taken far too many punches, particularly to the head area. Punches to more…

The temper of Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano got the better of him Friday, as he and catcher Michael Barrett went at it in the dugout during the Cubs 8-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves had just scored a few runs, one of which came across after Zambrano threw a pitch that bounced off of Barrett's glove. The catcher, trying to make a play to get the runner at third, threw the ball into left field, allowing the run to score.After that top of the 5th inning, Zambrano was seen in the dugout on TV pointing to his head, and then he and Barrett exchanged words before something was said and Zambrano pushed Barrett after the catcher pointed at the scoreboard. That started the mini-fight that saw a lot of pushing, but no punches were thrown. Cubs manager Lou Pinella was one of among the few who stepped in. The manager then told Zambrano to take a shower and go home, then returned to the dugout. Just a few seconds later a clubhouse attendant could be seen saying something to P

In the contest for conservative voters, Gov. Ernie Fletcher and his chief opponent in the GOP primary election are in a bitter argument over who is the biggest supporter of prayer in public schools.Fletcher had aired a television ad last week that said Republican challenger Anne Northup, a former congresswoman from Louisville, had voted against school prayer."Nothing could be further from the truth," Northup said in recorded telephone calls to Republicans across the state. "I have voted time after time in support of prayer in our schools, and as governor I look forward to protecting this right. As a matter of fact, I have consistently argued that taking God out of our schools has undermined our children's faith."Northup, who served in Congress for 10 years before losing the seat to a Democrat last year, voted against a 1998 resolution that called for a constitutional amendment that would have allowed voluntary school prayer.At a campaign stop in Liberty on Monday, Northup said she vot
