Matt Kemp Over the Shoulder Grab
Last night, Matt Kemp hit a grand slam in the top of the 10th inning to put the game away, then made this amazing over-the-shoulder catch in the bottom of the inning to end the game.

Baseball Fans Delighted By New Between-Innings F*ck-Cams
Major League Baseball estimates that more than 700 people have had been featured on the F*ck-Cam since its introduction. The first F*ck-Cam couple, Gary Kochalk and Kim Dahle, have been guests on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. And a montage of legendary F*ck-Cam performances is one of the most viewed clips on YouTube, featuring such great F*ck-Cam moments as the man who hasn't realized his partner has fallen asleep; a would-be suitor who goes down on one knee, produces a ring, and is flatly denied; an overweight couple who is booed off the JumboTron by the crowd; and a good-natured if somewhat clumsy performance by the Fox Sports broadcast team of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver.

unguarded thoughts
Sometimes I go whole days, listening bored half sleep. I won't say anything that's worth a thing to me. One day, suddenly, time took a turn that once felt so brief. I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly.
What begins as an unguarded train of thoughts slowly can become an addiction to the slumber of disconnection and the resonance of memory that no longer has a shape, but keeps you numb through the hours until gone is another day.
Be aware my darling, these things I say I mean are just traces of something I long to feel again. I see our time expand in the air almost forcibly, spreading thinner until it dissolves completely.
What begins as an unguarded train of thoughts slowly can become an addiction to the slumber of disconnection and the resonance of memory that no longer has a shape, but keeps you numb through the hours until gone is another day.

G.I. Joe Absurdity
The first war between G.I. Joe and Cobra (1985-86), as documented in the G.I. Joe animated series, was the most violent conflict in history never to result in a single casualty. Through a combination of terrible aim, superhuman jumping ability, and impossibly reliable parachutes, every combatant escaped even the most dire of situations without so much as the angle of his beret askew. The G.I Joe series is an ode to the improbable escape, and the thrill of the violence comes not from the possibility of death but from the zany ways the Joes and Cobras avoid it. Herewith, a collection of the most ridiculous escapes in G.I. Joe history. | Slate

Half Asleep
Sometimes I go whole days
listening bored, half sleep
I won't say anything
that's worth a thing to me
One day, suddenly, time
took a turn that once felt so brief
I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly
What begins as an unguarded
train of thoughts slowly can become
an addiction to the slumber
of disconnection and the resonance
of memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb through
the hours till gone is another day
Be aware, my darling
these things I say I mean
are just traces of something
I long to feel again
I see our time expand
in the air almost forcibly,
spreading thinner till it dissolves completely
