GIF of the Year Candidate: Chad Qualls

If I were a rhyming man, I would call this .gif "Qualls Falls."

But I'm more of an alliteration kind of guy, so let's go with "Miami Misstep."

Lost in the magic of Marlins reliever Chad Qualls' graceful tumble was the fact that he overcame a leadoff triple by New York Mets outfielder Marlon Byrd to keep the game knotted at 2-2 in the seventh inning.

But that's not what we'll remember from that moment. No, it certainly is not.
