Wolf Blitzer Could Only Sum Up Michelle Obama's Speech With An Awkward Baseball Reference
When Michelle Obama's rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention concluded tonight, CNN's Wolf Blitzer was so flummoxed, all he could manage was a bumbling baseball reference that on paper seems fine but, when spoken, came off as if he didn't know, as the words were coming out of his mou...

Dusty Baker Addresses Uniform Malfunction With An Assist From His Pitching Coach
There are reasons you, as a manager, want a reliable staff of coaches on the bench: To manage the pitchers, keep an eye on the team when times get tough, and to let you know (with an ever-so-casual hand over the mouth) that your fly has been open for who-knows-how-long. We see what you did there, ...

Red Sox Farmhand Flips Over Wall To Wall To Make Grand Slam-Denying Catch

Paralympian Dives With Crutch To Make Amazing Table Tennis Shot
England's David Wetherill was born with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, an extremely rare genetic disorder that restricts the growth of his bones.

A.J. Ellis Hits Walk-Off Single For Dodgers, Teammates Take Turns Punching Him In The Nuts
If Ellis wants to blame anyone, it should really be Andre Ethier. If not for his game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth, Ellis never would have had a chance to hit a single in the bottom of the 11th, driving in the winning run as he capped off a 4-3 Dodgers comeback against the Padres....

Charl Schwartzel Four-Putting From Three Feet Away Is Brutal
This is the kind of mess that makes you so uncomfortable you almost can't watch it all. But of course, you do watch it all. Three times. Three times he missed this seemingly unmissable putt. Maybe we shouldn't count the last miss because it was likely the result of equal parts anger and shame, but...
Andy Roddick Is Still Alive, Getting Emotional At U.S. Open
This was bound to happen once he announced he would retire following the tournament, but it's still a nice moment to watch for the suckers in Arthur Ashe stadium. The crowd was juiced on match point and had to be told twice, in vain, to quiet down, but it didn't matter. Roddick's serve was returne...
Texans Fans Brawl In Rafters Of Reliant Stadium

Brent Musburger Bleeped By ESPN Censors After Saying Something Naughty
We're not sure exactly what Brent Musburger is saying here, because we're officially out of the business of reading lips.
