Torii Hunter on series in Anaheim-"We are here to eat"

[DropOfAnaheim]

Torii Hunter        âœ” @toriihunter48

"Just landed in my old stumping grounds of Anaheim. Had a great 5 years here but I'm a Tiger now and we are here to eat."

 

 

 

It's funny how charming becomes annoying when someone is on the other side.

 

I find the statement amazingly arrogant, and a beat down by the Halos however unlikely, would be so sweet. Hamilton, can you please cooperate?

[Glen]

Man, it sure would be nice to still have him on the team and not Hamilton.  Just imagine how this weekend could go - Torii raking, and Hamilton striking out or getting thwarted by that marine layer that disporportionately affects Angels batters. 

 

Salt in the wound.

 

But yeah, I don't really have any problem with what he said.  I hope the Angels make him eat those words, but I give that about a 20% chance.  OK, 15%.

Stumping grounds?

I am willing to bet by the end of the year you will be saying, "boy I am glad we have Hamilton over Hunter this year."

If you think this is bad, wait until the first time the Yankees come back to Anaheim. All our sluggers' hits will die at the warning track and Vernon will somehow* hit a clutch 3 run homer to bury us 

 

 

 

 

*by "somehow" I mean "Joe Blanton"

Stumping grounds?

 

From his political days.

[sneaky_flute]

maybe he's implying anaheim has really good restaurants

[Justabitoutside]

Loved him as an Angel, but for the money and his age it was time to go. His tweet was EXACTLY what he should be saying.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I don't see any arrogance in that statement.

[jshep]

Stumping grounds?

Several players in the Angels clubhouse were really bad at trivia, I guess.

Or maybe Torii took a side job as a lumberjack?

[DropOfAnaheim]

Here to eat? Here to win? here to beat them? Anything but here to eat, as if we are a dead elk they will be ripping flesh off of. That may come to pass, but I don't get the humor, sorry Mr. Hunter. If I was a Tigers fan. I would LOVE THAT STATEMENT! 

 

 

Tweet from Josh Hamilton

 

9:48 am

 

 

"I had a great 5 years in Arlington, but I am an Angel now, and we are here to collect our paychecks."

[Angel Oracle]

Unfortunately, the Tigers will eat their young (Halos) this weekend.

 

What is going to change from the first 14 games?

[tdawg87]

Prince Fielder is in town so his statement is perfectly acceptable.

[Brian Ilten]

I have no problem with his comment.  He is playing for a team that is living up to expectations.  He should say that stuff.

 

 

Sure wish we had something to say in return.  Instead, the Angels are in the corner, curled up in the fetal position.

"We don't talk, we fly flags"-Mr Ed.

[Bombsauce]

Love the attitude. I don't have a problem with it all. Love it.

[JAHV76]

Fielder might eat one of the trees in the outfield since he is a "vegetarian".

[2002_halos_II]

Well DoA, I see nothing annoying or arrogant about what Torii said, either.

[Troll Daddy]

Sounds like the fans here wouldn't mind getting swept by the Tigers ... Oh my

Your ability to read and understand posts leaves something to be desired.

[Angel Oracle]

pimp, don't you have one of your 15 other MLB teams that you support to go watch?

[Halos of Anaheim]

Wish we kept Torii. I remember people comparing his situation to Abreu's last year, absolutely hilarious. 

[disarcina]

Ah, it's tough for me to say anything negative about Torii Hunter........had great years with us and gave us a fabulous final season.

 

He didn't leave us, Halos left him.........and that's OK.

 

Really like the guy, always will.

[Taylor]

Go impostors!

[MacNasty]

I'm sure he made a beeline for a double-double as soon as he landed.
