Philadelphia Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel Popped Out His Dentures

Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel clearly hasn’t been using his Fixodent.

The 69-year-old Manuel was caught on camera popping his dentures in and out while in the dugout during last night’s game against the Atlanta Braves that Philadelphia won 5-1.

Warning: The following GIFs are terrifying, especially the slow-motion remix.

We’ve seen other athletes play with their mouthguards plenty before, but this is entirely different. Let’s hope that this never becomes a normal occurrence.

Dodgers Infielder Nick Punto Celebrates His Home Run with Danny DeVito

The Dodgers came back from a two-run deficit to beat the Mets 4-2 with the help of by a homer from Nick Punto. He got to celebrate with one of his biggest fans. That fan just happened to be Danny DeVito.

DeVito, who was sporting a Punto jersey last night, sat next to the Dodgers dugout and high-fived the infielder after his big home run. 

The 68-year-old It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor then joined Punto for the post-game interview on the field afterwards.

Jacked Mets Fan Struggles to Open a Water Bottle, Gives Up

Sometimes it takes a little more than just brute strength to open a water bottle. 

Mets announcers discussed the muscular man’s workout program after watching him struggle mightily to get his Aquafina to open. At the end of the video, the man appears to give up and either returns his bottle or requests a new one.

Let’s hope he was properly hydrated before all of this went down.

Yasiel Puig’s Acrobatic Catches Are the Latest Additions to His Amazing Season

Yasiel Puig continues to take the baseball world by storm—this time with an acrobatic, bobbling foul catch against the wall at Wrigley Field.  

Puig was pulled from the same game in the eighth inning after making another diving catch. Puig told trainers he was fine, but he was later diagnosed with a left thumb contusion

Add these catches to Puig’s list of jaw-dropping highlights since joining the Dodgers, including this cannon throw from right field to third and this walk-off home run.

Red Sox P Jon Lester Tweets His Temple Run Score During a Game

Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester allowed a season-high 11 hits in just 4.1 innings Friday, his worst outing of the season. Apparently, to take his mind off his awful start, he played a little Temple Run and was pretty proud of his score. The only problem with this was that it was still the ninth inning when he shared his achievement.

The tweet has since been deleted, but Lester had the autotweet function enabled on his phone so it automatically shared his score of 1,209 (which isn’t anything to brag about, coming from someone who plays often). Lester later blamed his three-year-old son for sharing the score.

In the end, Lester avoided the loss because the Red Sox rallied in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the score before ultimately losing 7-6.

Marlins Relief Pitcher Gets a Little Too Excited in His Celebration and Eats It

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Chad Qualls‘ showing on Tuesday exemplified the Marlins season perfectly; even when things go well, they still seem to fail spectacularly.

Qualls allowed a triple at the beginning of the eighth inning against the Mets with the score tied 2-2. After he struck out Omar Quintanilla for the final out to keep the score even, Qualls‘ celebratory fist pump went awry as his feet got caught under him, and he did a full face plant into the infield. The reliever tried to play it off as if he were attempting a fist-pump somersault, but it’s clear from the video that he didn’t quite keep his footing.

Another angle of the tumble.

The most embarrassing part of this for him, however, is that this isn’t the first time Qualls has done something like this in a game. Here he is falling on a pickoff attempt while playing for the Phillies.

Some athletes just aren’t as sure on their feet as others, apparently.
