The storylines heading into Tuesday night's play-in game between the Tigers and the Twins were the postseason implications and, obviously, whether Miguel Cabrera would be sober in time for the first pitch. No word on the latter, but lost amid the chaos that enveloped the Metrodome shortly after Carlos Gomez crossed home plate to give the Twins the AL Central title was this little bit of heaven.
Childish? Yep, without a doubt. But people running really fast and then falling down is also funny. Especially since nobody was hurt.
Plus, credit to the camerawoman for her moxie. An infield face plant didn't keep her from doing her job; seconds after going down she was back on her feet chasing the story. That's what I'm going with, at least. It sounds much more dignified than "she's clumsy, had no business walking much less running, and went down in front of 50,000 people."

Poor thing. Pulling off a successful run is serious business nowadays.

Laughing at someone else' folly is ok. If we forget how to laugh, that would be sad.

It was funny but it appears that she tripped where the infield dirt ends and the turf begins.

It's just plain NOT FUNNY AT ALL !!!!
Only morons laugh at these kinds of things.
It just shows an undeveloped brain and an undeveloped sensibility (of course you idiots won't understand this either).

Now I know why fastpitch players pitch from a flat circle and not a mound.
Really, though, this type of crap is what is all over the airwaves these days posing as "entertainment" (at least for some folks). It the Bob Sagett Syndrome.

It must be a real slow news day... not very spectacular, not even funny. Ok, sometiemes it is funny to see people fall, but that one was not worth watching. Stop wasting my time AOL/Time Warner with teasers to worthless and time wasting stuff.
