How many Panthers does Torii actually have now?
Dude has gotten four (well-deserved) in the last 2 weeks and definitely had at least a couple before that.

Torii all the way
He set the tone, robbing Jeter of extra bases in the top of the 1st, then giving the Angels the lead in the bottom of the inning. And the HR came at a critical time when the Angels only had a 6-5 lead. Fangraphs likes Torii too, giving him a robust WPA of .443.
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!

that catch was remarkable
straight over his head 400 ft., running full speed at the wall, and he made it look easy
that ball is outta here....

Halo tailgate party... offense optional

I wanna give some love...
To Arredondo. You can’t overlook the fact that when he came into the game, it was a very tight, tense situation. He took care of business then and threw in another solid frame after the offense blew it open. He looked VERY good.

Torii Hunter
And I also agree with what tbone said
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.
by vladtheimpaler on Aug 8, 2008 10:28 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah, Torii for sure
Howie and ET performed incredibly well tonight, also.
Vlad looked pretty good as well.
really, the only guys who didn’t look good were Figgins and occasionally Weaver.
great game. if Lackey wins tomorrow, we have a pitching staff full of 10-game winners.
would be be the only staff with five 10-game winners? i’m too lazy to look.

Torii was torrid tonight!
I was sitting in the middle of a bunch of Yankee fans and after that home run they just started hoping for sliders.

Reggie Willits crashing in to the Yankee catcher to score that run was some glistening perfection right there.
by 44FAN on Aug 8, 2008 11:52 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
He crashed into the pitcher, not the catcher.
Also the current Yankee catcher is someone you should probably recognize…

In all honesty
I meant to put a ”;-P ” sign after the first line. I really was just teasing you. Sorry if I was being a prick.

Torii and Howie: Statistical dead heat for Panther, in my book!
Howie invokes the image of a modern-day Bill Madlock. The guy just squares up solidly on every hit. Thank Jeebuz we did not jettison this star in the making.
This ‘aint 1995 and Gene Mauch ‘aint here to curse us …. I’m calling the AL West early!
You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?

Tori sez...
“Thank you very much!”
Honorable mention to Willits for taking one for the team and getting it done.
Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the K-Rod!
