    We’ve all seen some amazing baseball catches, but I’m not so sure how many can measure up against this catch.

    This guy didn’t just dive or jump on the wall, but he dove OVER the wall.

    Check it out.

    Oh the benefits of new found fame when you become a professional athlete.Lauren Conrad

    First comes the money and then comes the celebrity dating.

    That seems to be the case with former Duke basketball player and new Portland Trailblazer Josh McRoberts, who has been seen across Los Angeles lately with The Hills star Lauren Conrad.

    She’s no A-lister by any means, but she’s cute and a guy has to start somewhere. He can’t just shoot right up to hanging with likes of, oh lets say, a Jessica Alba.

    Although Conrad wants to keep the relationship undercover, they seem to be snapping pictures all over LA.

    Check out these not so discrete pictures of them from 100%InjuryRate.com.

    Rugby Player Finds Tooth in his Head

    Not to self: If you have a massive headache for three months, you may have a tooth in your head.

    At least that was the scenario for rugby player Ben Czislowski in Brisbane, Australia.

    During an April 1 match, Czislowski collided with opponent Matt Austin and suffered a head wound that was stitched up soon thereafter. But months later, he had an eye infection and soon had shooting pains in his head.

    It turns out that doctors found a tooth embedded in Czislowski’s head.

    Czislowski said that if Austin ever wanted the tooth back, he still has it and it’s sitting on his bedside table.

    Ok, for one: how did Austin not know he was missing a tooth? It’s not like he lost one of his molers in the back, you know it had to be a front tooth.

    And two: Czislwoski, didn’t you know that if you want any money from the tooth fairy, you have to put it under your pillow.

    What Could Happen Today, Friday 13th

    With today being one of the most superstitious days of the year, here are some freak events that we hope won’t, or maybe will, happen today.David Beckham

    David Beckham: While flashing that boyish grin and walking down the red carpet at the Home Depot Center today, David Beckham’s debut is short lived. He is so focused on the cameras while he’s walking, that he trips on the carpet tearing his MCL, ACL and breaking a nail. Out for the year, fans riot the stadium for their money back.

    Philadelphia Phillies: The Phillies come from behind today to beat the St. Louis Cardinals in extra innings to avoid team loss No. 10,000. The win sparks a 20 game-winning streak and the Phillies go on to win the World Series! Yeah, right. They’ll probably lose tonight.

    Albert Pujols & Tony La Russa: Animosity boils over from the All-Star game. La Russa and Pujols throw down in the dugout after the skipper benches Pujols after he strikes out with the bases loaded in the seventh. When Pujols walks into the dugout, La Russa remarks, “that’s why I didn’t play you in the All-Star game.” The usually calm Pujols proceeds to fill the dugout full of uppercuts.

    Why Isn’t Rollins an All-Star?

    So the MLB All-Star teams were announced yesterday and a notable snub that I thought belonged on the NL team was Philadelphia’s shortstop Jimmy Rollins.Jimmy Rollins

    Why the heck was he left off and why was Pirates second baseman Freddy Sanchez put on instead?!

    The current NL shortstop backup is J.J. Hardy, who is having a good season so far. But Rollins is doing it all leading off for the Phillies and has been consistent and clutch for his team.

    Although I do believe Hardy has the numbers to be on the team, I don’t believe Sanchez should be on there and Rollins should be allowed to be play second base to take Sanchez’s spot. I just want the guy on the team.

    But the Pirates did need a representative so I’m guessing this was an alright choice, but still.

    Yeah, Rollins’ batting average is slightly lower at .286 to Sanchez’s .301, but has far better stats across the board.

    Lets compare: Rollins - .286 avg., 14 hr, 49 rbi, 66 runs, 15 sb, .330 OBP and .514 SLG.
    Sanchez - .301 avg., 1 hr, 28 rbi, 28 runs, 0 sb, .328 OBP and .328 SLG.

    The numbers don’t lie. Rollins got jacked and clearly belongs on the team. There is still a chance he can be elected if someone goes down with an injury, but the chances are slim.
