Lee Trevino's famous quote:  "If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron."

Jesus and Lee Trevino are playing golf and come to a 225 yard par3 over water.

Jesus pulls out his 1 iron and ... his shot goes in the water.

Pulls out another ball, same thing.

One more ball...same result.

Along comes the warden to speed play. He sees the 1 iron in Jesus' hands and asks "Who do you think you are, Jesus Christ?"

"Nope," pipes up Trevino, "Arnold Palmer."

I'm struggling here... Why do the Twins have Chi Chi Rodriguez? He looks like a shaky AA pitcher to me. 

Ah, there it is! He's got a quick move to 1st base!

Chi Chi is Spanish for "great pick-off move"

I think he’s been actually struck by lightning a couple of times. I think he’s wrong.

Trevino has amazingly been struck by lightning 3 times!

If they didn't call him up when they did, they'd lose him.

Hickory shafts?

Nope. Steel, now slightly rusted. I did start (at age 5) with sawed off wooden shafts, though.

He needs to leave the 1 iron in the garage

This quote by Rocco is almost making it sound like he's not even making the decision.

Rocco Baldelli, Zen master.  "See the lineup card.  BE the lineup card."

Yeah, and it was a missed call for over 100 years

 

Because of replay, he must be called out. But I don’t think that was the original intent of replay. I think Mauers so called foul ball at Yankee stadium was the kind of thing they were determined to fix.

There's Dick calling warning track homers again. 

It gets me when he does that, he never learns

Luis always has had HR power, he just saves it for special occasions. This was one such occasion. Pitcher just walked two guys, having trouble bringing the ball back glove side. Arraez waited for that makeup pitch...

BOOOOOOM!

It's Luis Arraez' world, we are just privileged to live in it.
