    Angels Torii Hunter's ridiculous game-saving, homer-robbing catch

    Did you guys see the ridiculous, over-the-wall, homer-robbing, game-saving catch that Torii Hunter made in yesterday's game? It was mother****ing nasty! The score was 4-3 Angels, ninth inning, Brian Fuentes on the mound tossing some junk and trying to notch the save. Hunter literally flew up two feet over the wall and robbed the Royals of a game-tying, save-blowing homer.

    Gotta love how pumped he was after that. Great job by a gold glover

    Meh, it was a good catch. But he did that all the time in MN, where he's won all those Gold Gloves.

    Where was the love for Curtis Granderson's game saving homer?

    It was a very nice play. I've seen a few better, and I've seen a couple like it (I'm sorry, nothing will ever top Endy Chavez's catch for me). But still,a very very good play at a key moment. Love the enthusiasm!

    Torii Hunter was one of the best signings the Angels have ever made. Much better than the Gary Matthews, Jr. signing (I don't like the idea of signing a guy who has had one good year, because it usually is either (1) a fluke, or (2) steroids.).
