Player's embarrassing GAFFE
In the top of the 11th, Angel Pagan (right) appeared to give the Mets a lead with an RBI triple into the gap. But Dodgers manager Joe Torre appealed that Church missed the third-base bag on his way home. The Dodgers threw over to third and the umpire agreed. Turns out that everyone but Church was paying attention. Afterward, even homeboy Vin Scully was laughing at Church's misstep (watch it here) and the Dodgers announcer even let out a Marv Throneberry reference after Jeremy Reed's(notes) wild throw that ended the game. Throneberry was the Mets' first baseman in their archetypal '62 season, when they went 40-120.
Church confessional: "I felt like I nicked something, and that's why I kept going," Church said of his miscue. "I was walking back to the dugout and I heard the crowd scream, so I turned around. I mean, what can you do? When they call you out, they call you out. They're not going to reverse it."
Scientists discover deadly secret of Komodo's bite
The world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, has a snake-like venom in its bite which sends victims into shock and stops their blood from clotting, according to Australian research.
It had been widely believed that deadly bacteria in the carnivorous lizard's mouth helped kill its prey.
But magnetic resonance imagery has for the first time uncovered venom glands containing a shock-inducing poison which increases blood flow and decreases blood pressure, scientists say.
