There was no diving or acting needed here! During a girls soccer game, which according to the YouTube description was between Hutch and Valley Center, one unfortunately girl by the name of Krissy couldn’t save her face from this blast from point-blank range.

Being a Toronto Blue Jays fan, there are plenty of players on the New York Yankees that I would love to see pull up lame with a serious knee injury while shagging fly balls in the outfield during batting practice. Mariano Rivera is not one of them. Rivera suffered a torn ACL during Yankees batting [...]
Two nights ago the Los Angeles Angels were on the right end of a no-hitter, as Jered Weaver didn’t allow a single hit through nine innings against the Minnesota Twins.

The Game: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Dallas Mavericks
The Reason: The Thunder haven’t covered a spread in either of the two first two games of this series, but they still hold a 2-0 series lead over the Mavericks.

These two teams continue to play in tight games that go down to the wire…
