Why <i>Not</i> Allow Kickass Header Goals?
The best moment of last night’s triple-OT Blackhawks win didn’t even count.

Potential Double OT-Winning Goal Disallowed For Being Too Awesome

Travis d'Arnaud Needs To Stop Hitting Balls At Andrelton Simmons
Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons made a ridiculous throw to get Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud out at first in Friday’s game, which is cool, because Simmons churns out gorgeous defensive highlights like it’s nothing, but what’s even cooler is that Simmons made almost the same exact throw on d’Arnau...
This Is One Of The Weirdest Infield Hits You'll Ever See

Skates aren't supposed to go six feet high, but sometimes when you're being undercut to the ground shit happens.
