PrintFinal Score in Los Angeles of Anaheim: Angels 9, Padres 1
Pitcher Joe Saunders carried a 1-Run game into the 9th inning on a night where all of the scoring was taken care of in the first with a 2-RBI single by Juan Rivera. Catcher Jeff Mathis guided Saundo threw the game and hit a 2-run homer himself and 1B-Man Kendry Morales had a solo shot, but Centerfielder Torii Hunter tied the single game franchise mark held by many with THREE Homeruns.
Yes, this is a discussion of the postgame results of the Angels. You are not drunk. Or if you are, they aren't. Not anymore. At least during these games.
No wonder the Dodgers have such a great record playing in the wimpy National League West.
In a postgame interview, Hunter credited MIke Scioscia's intense clubhouse tirade toward the entire team at the end of a lackluster 4-5 road trip on Thursday for the current turnaround. Nice for Angels fans to know somebody cares.

Dude, seriously
Stop stalking Torii.
When are you going to tell us where you get these?
RIP Nick Adenhart.

What Kind of Place Does Torii Hang?
Where the guy in the background with the red robe is half hanging off his body. I didn’t know Torii was into that kind of “entertainment”.
We woulda pulled his pants down ...
spanked him, and made him wear a little pink dress.
That’s how badly we would have beaten Peavy.

Would have beat him too
Peavy for the most part has been very subpar this year in many of his starts
RIP Nick Adenhart
I love Peavy!
But until he becomes an Angel, I’d have to say would would have ripped his heart out and eaten it while he watched.
Wow, that seems kind of harsh in retrospect. Oh, well.

Even if Joe gets the shutout
I think you give the nod to Torii for 3 homeruns. That’s just awesome.
Will use monthly quota as a superlative; Torii with 3 HRs makes me say...
F U C K Y E A H!!!
Let this be the turning point for the season.

Certainly appears so. He also has three ice cubes too, just like Papa Kool-Aid

WOW
How could anybody have voted for anybody but Hunter?? I mean, Hokie was nails tonight, but 3 HR’s is epic!
RIP Nick. We will miss you!
That was an awesome game to go to tonight!
Especially great since I got to see it in my sister and brother-in-law’s Diamond Club seats instead of the usual upper view level when I get to go.
RIP Nick Adenhart
'bout time Joe pounded someone
And Torii “the Babe” Hunter for Panther. Me likes him hitting in front of Vlad berry, berry, much.
Angel Pitching (Adenhart), Angel Defense - get past that.
I was there! One of the best games I’ve ever been to! After Torii hit his 3rd homer everyone was chanting his name while Vlad was trying to bat. They really shoulda taken a moment before calling Vlad to the plate. The crowd was very busy at that moment. When the Angels came back out to the field the crowd was cheering Torii all the way to center field. What a game!! Someone actually invited the ANGELS to this Angel game and man…..it felt great to be there! THIS is what our team plays like when they mesh together!
I started that cheer for my section (260) when he was at 3rd base during his 3rd HR trot...
He tipped his cap — nice curtain call!!!
I had only read about DeCinces’ TWO 3-HR games back in the mid-80’s; tonight was my first time to SEE a single player 3-HR game IN PERSON. Hunter is awesome. My 5-year-old son was going bananas as he was wearing his Torii “48” T-Shirt.
Awesome game to be at … you are right.
I love this team.

We were very fortunate
I never thought I would see a Halo hit 3 homers in 1 game again after Kennedy did it!
RIP Nick Adenhart

that was the greatest single sporting event I have ever been too
Kennedy in an A’s uniform today still makes me cry

2002 wow!
Spent all kinds of crazy money that year figuring it was possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Angels go so far
RIP Nick Adenhart
How about the time little Freddie Patek
a whole 5’-4" tall hit 3 HR’s in a game in 1980 for the Angels. He only had 5 the whole year.
wow
best game I’ve EVER been to….

Anyway
Angels workers are classy. I wanted to buy the cheap Adenhart memorial magazines, and they decided to give it to me free. Classy, classy staff. Other than that, I sat in crap seats ( 401, row A), but had a great time as Torii’s first hit the Del Taco sign in left. To sum up the game, JEFF MATHIS, yes, that guy, hit a HR. Wow

Brilliant Game All the Way Around

When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

Torii Hunter
Goddamn I love that man.
The time is out of joint; oh cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right.
