Hahaha. Brilliant Jeff.
Kudos!
Coach Owens - April 18, 2008
I lol’d heartily.
Thanks for the cheering-up Jeff

Torii Hunter
FUCK
thenatural - April 18, 2008
I now see why we need a bit of a grace period with the HOF
JI - April 18, 2008
Bahahahahahaha
Graham MacAree - April 18, 2008
Fuck Torii Hunter
The captions do lighten the mood, but doesn’t take away from the loss.
Fin - April 18, 2008
DIAF Torii Hunter
I hate him more because he made me laugh in the past.
JAH - April 19, 2008
Honestly, you guys think that ball was out?
I’m on the fence (though it would have scored Beltre anyway).
seattlebruin - April 19, 2008
I thought it was out
But it was close, hard to say
camomilk - April 19, 2008
I think it hits the top of the wall
...if it gets past the fielder’s glove. I’m thinking many of the league’s CFs can catch that with a jump.
I was bummed just as much that it was 2 feet from being gone as I was that Hunter caught it.
Gomez - April 19, 2008
It looked like it would've juuuust hit the top of the wall
But it wasn’t gone enough to be a hard catch or anything, I was just bummed that it didn’t go a foot or two farther.
OlSalty - April 19, 2008
Sexson's ball was over the top of the wall.
The Angels website has a close-up video of the catch in the Video Corner, “Hunter robs Sexson of go ahead HR in the ninth.” It clearly shows the ball going over the top of the wall and Hunter’s glove above the top edge when the ball was caught. It also catches Sexson’s reaction afterwards.
44FAN - April 19, 2008
Final Score: Torii Hunter 1, Richie Sexson 0
camomilk - April 19, 2008
Technically: Richie 2, Hunter 1...but the one was when it mattered
SethGrandpa - April 19, 2008
LMFAO
Oh man that was great
OlSalty - April 19, 2008
But seriously, fuck Torii Hunter
OlSalty - April 19, 2008
Fuck torii hunter that stupid retard asshole
sone aof a bitch hesworse than losfton.
fuckin scumbags
we better fuck the shit ouyt of the laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangles tomrowow
dbroncos31 - April 19, 2008
Eloquently put
OlSalty - April 19, 2008
So tomorrow's tickets have Torii Hunter's face on them
I thought about ripping them up on the spot =(
seattlebruin - April 19, 2008
No
What you need to do is just sit in the center field bleachers. Then, when Torii Hunter tries to ruin everyone’s lives, you just whip out your dick and start peeing on him. Lets see him catch a fly ball while taking a golden shower.
Fuck Torii Hunter.
joof - April 19, 2008
Wow
That’s just a bit excessive, don’t you think?
Robert Lintott - April 19, 2008
No
It’s not.
darmok - April 19, 2008
no
JI - April 19, 2008
not at all. fuck torri hunter
redwolf75 - April 19, 2008
No. In fact, shit on a rag then throw it at him.
Let’s see him concentrate with a shit-rag flying at his face.
OlSalty - April 19, 2008
No.
BrettJMiller - April 19, 2008
Yes
he made a good catch. Not great…good.
nwtrev - April 19, 2008
But he's an annoying Angel and he fucked us over in the 1st.
BrettJMiller - April 19, 2008
Well... ok... I'm on board there
I’m sure OlSalty and joof aren’t 100% serious but I still think shitting and pissing on someone seems excessive. Are we going to become Mexican soccer hooligans* next and start bringing bags of piss to the games?
*¿Or is it soccer borrachos?
nwtrev - April 19, 2008
Sure, Hunter deserves it.
BrettJMiller - April 19, 2008
He hit three doubles and robbed a possibly game-winning home run
A bag of piss is pretty tame if you ask me.
OlSalty - April 19, 2008
wrong
JI - April 19, 2008
No
ColeFitz - April 19, 2008
No
Fin - April 19, 2008
Kind of the epitome of being a Seattle sports fan imo.
r0ry - April 19, 2008
my heart still hurts
somebody is going to die on the other team today.
deacvision7 - April 19, 2008
The bad thing about watching the game archived
is that I still have 11 hours of work to go. I already freaked my boss out with my twenty minute long diatribe on how much I F’ing loathe those douchebag Angels. I am in such a shitty mood right now. Washburn better hit someone tomorrow.
thewyrm - April 19, 2008
lets face it
he was kjust taking back the two runs Beltre stole from him. Its sad because richie was hitting the ball well, but this d=team did not deserve a win.
Bearskin Rugburn - April 19, 2008
That's Still a Legendary Commercial
JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo - April 19, 2008
I appreciate this.
I am now one step closer on my journey to self-actualization.
Liebkartoffel - April 19, 2008
Automatic WIN of the month.
ThundaPC - April 19, 2008
I think we may have lost
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - April 19, 2008
Brilliant
I think this captures perfectly the emotions of last night. Good stuff.
angrybeltre - April 19, 2008
Being at the game..
and surrounded by thousands of Angels fans going nuts was like a double cock punch. From our view it didnt look like it would have been out but god damn that was one of the worst feelings ive had after a game. My gf and I were pissed that Sexson didn’t just let us down easily with his usual clutch strike out.
seamariners85 - April 19, 2008
So Dickey was upset about the fastball
Baker’s blog has some stuff on that…
MfaninAlaska - April 19, 2008
So to starters question Kenji's game calling in about a week.
At least Dickey maned up and said it was his fault for not shaking him off, but Kenji is still troubling me right now.
SethGrandpa - April 19, 2008
*two
SethGrandpa - April 19, 2008
Something tells me Kenji shook it off because of his struggles catching it
Gomez - April 19, 2008
Yes
I cringe every time a ball that should have easily been caught goes bouncing out of his glove. He dropped more than one called strike last night and …yeah…knuckleballs are weird but he does this with everybody. I wonder though how much of the game he really calls. I see him looking over to the dugout a lot.
nwtrev - April 19, 2008
typically
the dugout doesn’t call pitches….. they call out defensive plays, pickoffs, and pitchouts… most major league teams leave the actual pitch calling to the catchers and pitchers in the game.
MfaninAlaska - April 19, 2008
Kenji is just the wrong guy to be catching Dickey
We know about his habit of stabbing at pitches, which is exactly what you DON’T want to do with a knuckleball. If you stab at it, it’ll change direction and bounce or float by you. You’re supposed to keep the glove back, move it laterally and block the ball into your glove, like you’re playing Pong. Asking Kenji to catch the knuckler is like asking Matt Stairs and Frank Thomas to try a double steal.
Gomez - April 19, 2008
ohay, maybe I WILL find the Torii Hunter pinata commercial funny again
JLC - April 19, 2008
wow, I just saw the ending
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. At least Richie is mashing the ball.
MFAN - April 19, 2008
True that
And Richie would’ve had a 3 homer night if it weren’t for that piece of shit Hunter.
Worse part, my girlfriend’s name is Tori too. God Dammit.
Fin - April 19, 2008
Dump that bitch or you're getting banned >:(
BrettJMiller - April 19, 2008
NO WAY YOU HAVE GIRLFRIEND!
THE VOICE - April 19, 2008
Time to get over it folks
kentroyals5 - April 19, 2008
agreed
let’s go out and put a whoopin on them tonight
nwtrev - April 19, 2008
That catch is just like this clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbhR-OomKxI
Tori Hunter is the goose.
Smegmalicious - April 19, 2008
Oh man Jeff
I just got back home and read this recap. My girlfriend and I laughed so hard. Hilarious. Just wanted to say thanks.
Eyebrows - April 19, 2008
Reading this again just now
This is way funnier than it was to me after the game last night. Well played, Jeff.
