Jayo!
In all of the excitement of the moment, this gem has been overlooked.
Upon a re-read, this is BY FAR the best and most hilarious TWSS ever on this site! Go directly to the TWSS Hall of Fame, Jayo!
Dome-san!!

Oops, my mistake
while good, I thought the TWSS was for “molina just went….”. Honorable mention, though.

Swung at ball 4 there
"This is why Major League Baseball does not need instant replay, because then every single play will then be reviewed." -- Joe Morgan, 5/18/08, referring to an umpire ruling a Carlos Delgado homerun foul when replays showed it hit the foul pole.

Yeah, I've got a blister on mine.
Don’t worry – I’m sure it will heal quickly.

The phrase "Z fingers"...
