Carlos Gonzalez tripped around the bases and it wasn't even the weirdest part of this sequence with the Reds

"It's just one of those days," we tell ourselves when something frustrating, weird, unexpected or just downright awkward happens. But it happens to everybody, no matter our line of work. Baseball players are no exception to this phenomenon, which is also essentially the meaning behind the phrase "Murphy's Law."

Gonzalez and the Rockies won the game, 6-3, but this moment lives on.

Stuff happens.
